Commento su Giosuè 17:16
וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙ בְּנֵ֣י יוֹסֵ֔ף לֹֽא־יִמָּ֥צֵא לָ֖נוּ הָהָ֑ר וְרֶ֣כֶב בַּרְזֶ֗ל בְּכָל־הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי֙ הַיֹּשֵׁ֣ב בְּאֶֽרֶץ־הָעֵ֔מֶק לַֽאֲשֶׁ֤ר בְּבֵית־שְׁאָן֙ וּבְנוֹתֶ֔יהָ וְלַֽאֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּעֵ֥מֶק יִזְרְעֶֽאל׃
E i figli di Giuseppe dissero: 'La collina non sarà abbastanza per noi; e tutti i Cananei che abitano nella terra della valle hanno carri di ferro, sia quelli che si trovano a Bet-Shean e le sue città, sia quelli che si trovano nella valle di Jezreel.'
Rashi on Joshua
The mountain will not be sufficient for us. For it is too crowded for us as you [just] said.

Rashi on Joshua
Iron chariots. ‘And that what you say, go up to the forest and conquer the land of the Perezzites and the Rephaim [is not so simple] because the Canaanites are a mighty people, and they possess iron chariots.’ Do not wonder if Scripture refers to the Perezzites and Rephaim as Canaanites for they were all descendants of the original Canaan.12The original Canaan was the grandson of Noach, who was cursed by Noach. See Bereishis 9:25.
