Joshua 17:16 in Context — Joshua 17

14 E os filhos de José falaram a Josué, dizendo: Por que me deste por herança uma só porção e uma só parte, sendo eu um povo tão grande e que o SENHOR me abençoou assim até agora?

15 E Josué lhes respondeu: Se és povo tão grande, sobe tu ao monte, e corta para ti ali na terra do ferezeus e dos gigantes, pois que o monte de Efraim é estreito para ti.

16 E os filhos de José disseram: Não nos bastará a nós este monte: e todos os cananeus que habitam a terra da campina, têm carros de ferro; os que estão em Bete-Seã e em suas aldeias, e os que estão no vale de Jezreel.

17 Então Josué respondeu à casa de José, a Efraim e Manassés, dizendo: Tu és grande povo, e tens grande força; não terás uma só porção;

18 Mas aquele monte será teu; porque é bosque, e tu o cortarás, e serão teus seus termos: porque tu expulsarás aos cananeus, ainda que tenham carros de ferro, e ainda que sejam fortes.
