Read Joshua 17.14-18.
In 18.14-18: More territory for Joseph.
In verses 14-15: Ephraim ans Manasseh together as the tribe of Joseph complain that they have too little land.
Joshua points out that their size gives them the resources to clear the highland forests.
In verse 16: Unsatisfied, they go on to lament that the military strength of the Canaanites keeps them from settling the plains.
In verses 17-18: The large population of Ephraim and Manasseh is actually not a problem, but an opportunity for an expansive future.
In addition to clearing the forests, they will eventually drive out the Canaanites.
