Joshua 17:17
One lot only - Thou needest and deservedst more than that lot, of which thou art actually possessed, and thou hast power to get more; which if thou endeavourest to do, God will bless thee, and give thee more.
15 So Joshua answered them, “If you are a great people, then go up to the forest country and clear a place for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and the giants, since the mountains of Ephraim are too confined for you.”
16 But the children of Joseph said, “The mountain country is not enough for us; and all the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have achariots of iron, both those who are of Beth Shean and its towns and those who are bof the Valley of Jezreel.”
17 And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph—to Ephraim and Manasseh—saying, “You are a great people and have great power; you shall not have only one1 lot,
18 but the mountain country shall be yours. Although it is wooded, you shall cut it down, and its1 farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, athough they have iron chariots and are strong.”
