ગુજરાતીયહોશુઆ ૧૭:૧૮
પરંતુ પહાડી પ્રદેશ પણ તારો થશે. તે જંગલ છે છતાં તું તેને કાપી નાખશે અને તેની દૂરની સરહદો સુધી કબજો કરશે. જેઓની પાસે લોખંડના રથો છે એ કનાનીઓ બળવાન છે એ ખરું તો પણ તું તેઓને કાઢી મૂકી શકીશ.”
हिन्दीयहोशू १७:१८
पहाड़ी देश भी तुम्हारा हो जाएगा; क्योंकि वह जंगल तो है, परन्तु उसके पेड़ काट डालो, तब उसके आस-पास का देश भी तुम्हारा हो जाएगा; क्योंकि चाहे कनानी सामर्थी हों, और उनके पास लोहे के रथ भी हों, तो भी तुम उन्हें वहाँ से निकाल सकोगे।”

In context

16The children of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us. All the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth Shean and its towns, and those who are in the valley of Jezreel.”

17Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, that is, to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, “You are a numerous people, and have great power. You shall not have one lot only;

18but the hill country shall be yours. Although it is a forest, you shall cut it down, and it’s farthest extent shall be yours; for you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.”
