Joshua 17:1-18
This was the allotment for the tribe of Manasseh as Joseph’s firstborn.
The territory of Manasseh extended from Asher to Mikmethath east of Shechem. The boundary ran southward from there to include the people living at En Tappuah.
But Joshua said to the tribes of Joseph—to Ephraim and Manasseh—“You are numerous and very powerful. You will have not only one allotment but the forested hill country as well. Clear it, and its farthest limits will be yours; though the Canaanites have chariots fitted with iron and though they are strong, you can drive them out".
Why?
The horses and chariots of the Canaanites holding the plains deterred them.
Manasseh had power to drive Canaanites out, but they had not faith to the Lord, they afraid the iron chariots.
Promised land needs courage and faith to take it. It needs fight and struggle to get it.
How?
Be courage to get the promised land.
