וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אִם־עַם־רַב אַתָּה עֲלֵה לְךָ הַיַּעְרָה וּבֵרֵאתָ לְךָ שָׁם בְּאֶרֶץ הַפְּרִזִּי וְהָֽרְפָאִים כִּֽי־אָץ לְךָ הַר־אֶפְרָֽיִם
And Joshua said unto them: ‘If thou be a great people, get thee up to the forest, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim; since the hill-country of Ephraim is too narrow for thee.’
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ בְּנֵי יוֹסֵף לֹֽא־יִמָּצֵא לָנוּ הָהָר וְרֶכֶב בַּרְזֶל בְּכָל־הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי הַיֹּשֵׁב בְּאֶֽרֶץ־הָעֵמֶק לַֽאֲשֶׁר בְּבֵית־שְׁאָן וּבְנוֹתֶיהָ וְלַֽאֲשֶׁר בְּעֵמֶק יִזְרְעֶֽאל
And the children of Joseph said: ‘The hill-country will not be enough for us; and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are in Beth-shean and its towns, and they who are in the valley of Jezreel.’
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אֶל־בֵּית יוֹסֵף לְאֶפְרַיִם וְלִמְנַשֶּׁה לֵאמֹר עַם־רַב אַתָּה וְכֹחַ גָּדוֹל לָךְ לֹֽא־יִהְיֶה לְךָ גּוֹרָל אֶחָֽד
And Joshua spoke unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying: ‘Thou art a great people, and hast great power; thou shalt not have one lot only;
כִּי הַר יִֽהְיֶה־לָּךְ כִּֽי־יַעַר הוּא וּבֵרֵאתוֹ וְהָיָה לְךָ תֹּֽצְאֹתָיו כִּֽי־תוֹרִישׁ אֶת־הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי כִּי רֶכֶב בַּרְזֶל לוֹ כִּי חָזָק הֽוּא
but the hill-country shall be thine; for though it is a forest, thou shalt cut it down, and the goings out thereof shall be thine; for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they be strong.’
וַיִּקָּהֲלוּ כָּל־עֲדַת בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל שִׁלֹה וַיַּשְׁכִּינוּ שָׁם אֶת־אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד וְהָאָרֶץ נִכְבְּשָׁה לִפְנֵיהֶֽם
And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there; and the land was subdued before them.
