06:017:014 And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast
           thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I
           am a great people, forasmuch as the lord hath blessed me
           hitherto?

06:017:015 And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get
           thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in
           the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim
           be too narrow for thee.

06:017:016 And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for
           us:  and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the
           valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethshean
           and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.

06:017:017 And Joshua spake 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: 

06:017:018 But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou
           shalt cut it down:  and the outgoings of it shall be thine:  for
           thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron
           chariots, and though they be strong.

06:018:001 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled
           together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the
           congregation there.  And the land was subdued before them.

06:018:002 And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes,
           which had not yet received their inheritance.

06:018:003 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye
           slack to go to possess the land, which the lord God of your
           fathers hath given you?

06:018:004 Give out from among you three men for each tribe:  and I will
           send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and
           describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they
           shall come again to me.

06:018:005 And they shall divide it into seven parts:  Judah shall abide
           in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall
           abide in their coasts on the north.

06:018:006 Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and
           bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for
           you here before the lord our God.

06:018:007 But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of
           the lord is their inheritance:  and Gad, and Reuben, and half
           the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond
           Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the lord gave
           them.

06:018:008 And the men arose, and went away:  and Joshua charged them that
           went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the
           land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here
           cast lots for you before the lord in Shiloh.
