Joshua 17:18
Context17:18 The whole hill country 3 will be yours; though it is a forest, you can clear it and it will be entirely yours. 4 You can conquer the Canaanites, though they have chariots with iron-rimmed wheels and are strong.”
1 tn Heb “sons”; “men” has been used in the translation because the context involves the conquest of cities; therefore, warriors (hence males) would be in view here.
2 tn Or “were determined.”
3 tn The Hebrew text has simply “the hill country,” which must here include the hill country of Ephraim and the forest regions mentioned in v. 15.
4 tn Heb “and its limits will be yours.”
