Joshua 17:16

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.

And the children {H1121} of Joseph {H3130} said {H559}, The hill {H2022} is not enough {H4672} for us: and all the Canaanites {H3669} that dwell {H3427} in the land {H776} of the valley {H6010} have chariots {H7393} of iron {H1270}, both they who are of Bethshean {H1052} and her towns {H1323}, and they who are of the valley {H6010} of Jezreel {H3157}.

The descendants of Yosef replied, "The hills won't be enough for us; and all the Kena'ani living in the valleys have iron chariots - both those in Beit-Sh'an and its villages and those in the Yizre'el Valley."

“The hill country is not enough for us,” they replied, “and all the Canaanites who live in the valley have iron chariots, both in Beth-shean with its towns and in the Valley of Jezreel.”

And the children of Joseph said, The hill-country 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 in Beth-shean and its towns, and they who are in the valley of Jezreel.
