OET (OET-RV) “The hill country certainly isn’t big enough for all of us,” they responded, “plus the Canaanites living in the Yezreel valley and in Beyt-Shan and the surrounding towns have iron chariots.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
וְרֶ֣כֶב בַּרְזֶ֗ל בְּכָל הַֽכְּנַעֲנִי֙
and,chariots iron in=all the,Canaanites
The descendants of Joseph are not referring to a specific Canaanite or to a specific chariot. They mean the members of the Canaanite people group in general and the chariots they possess. It may be more natural in your language to express these meanings using plural forms. Alternate translation: “and the Canaanites all have iron chariots”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וְרֶ֣כֶב בַּרְזֶ֗ל
and,chariots iron
The metal iron was barely used during this time period, so this is not a reference to chariots entirely made of iron. Those would have been too heavy for any practical use in warfare anyway. It is probably a reference by association to chariots whose wheels or floor were strengthened with iron or that had iron studs or points to make them more destructive when used in ramming. Alternate translation: “chariots fitted out with iron”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּבְנוֹתֶ֔יהָ
and=her/its=daughters
See how you translated this expression in 15:45 where it is used with the same meaning. Alternate translation: “and its surrounding settlements”
17:16 As a result of the Canaanites’ iron chariots, Ephraim and Manasseh were restricted to the hill country in the early part of the settlement period (see study note on 11:4).
• The valley of Jezreel, a geological interruption of the hill country, separated Lower Galilee to the north from the hill country of Manasseh to the south. The Canaanites living in and near it and the valley of Beth-shan restricted Manasseh’s expansion and apparently Ephraim’s as well. Most of the towns named in 17:11 were on the edges of these valleys.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
