Yosua 17:15

17:15 Joshua replied to them, “Since you have so many people, ¹  go up into the forest and clear out a place to live in the land of the Perizzites and Rephaites, for the hill country of Ephraim is too small for you.”

Yosua 17:18

17:18 The whole hill country ²  will be yours; though it is a forest, you can clear it and it will be entirely yours. ³  You can conquer the Canaanites, though they have chariots with iron-rimmed wheels and are strong.”

[17:15]  ¹ tn Heb “If you are a great people.”

[17:18]  ² tn The Hebrew text has simply “the hill country,” which must here include the hill country of Ephraim and the forest regions mentioned in v. 15.

[17:18]  ³ tn Heb “and its limits will be yours.”
