Joshua 17

17 So Joshua said to the house of Joseph—to Ephraim and Manasseh—“You have many people and great strength. You shall not have just one allotment,

and to say Joshua to(wards) house: household Joseph to/for Ephraim and to/for Manasseh to/for to say people many you(m. s.) and strength great: large to/for you not to be to/for you allotted one
