A numerous people

14Then the sons of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given me one lot and one portion as an inheritance, though I am a numerous people, since Yahweh has blessed me until now?”

15Joshua said to them, “If you are a numerous people, go up to the forest and clear land for yourselves there in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim, since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you.”
