14 The descendants of Joseph said to Joshua: “Why have you given us* as an inheritance only one lot+ and one allotment? We are a numerous people, for Jehovah has blessed us until now.”+ 15 Joshua replied to them: “If you are such a numerous people, go up to the forest and clear out a place for yourself there in the land of the Perʹiz·zites+ and the Rephʹa·im,+ since the mountainous region of Eʹphra·im+ is too cramped for you.”
