H4428
It happened, when all the kings
H5676
who were beyond
H3383
the Jordan,
H2022
in the hill country,
H8219
and in the lowland,
H2348
and on all the shore
H1419
of the great
H3220
sea
H4136
in front
H3844
of Lebanon,
H2850
the Hittite,
H567
the Amorite,
H3669
the Canaanite,
H6522
the Perizzite,
H2340
the Hivite,
H2983
and the Jebusite,
H8085
heard of it
2
H6908
that they gathered
H3162
themselves together
H3898
to fight
H3091
with Joshua
H3478
and with Israel,
H259
with one
H6310
accord.
3
H3427
But when the inhabitants
H1391
of Gibeon
H8085
heard
H3091
what Joshua
H6213
had done
H3405
to Jericho
H5857
and to Ai,
4
H6213
they also resorted
H6195
to a ruse,
H3212
and went
H6737
and made as if they had been ambassadors,
H3947
and took
H1087
old
H8242
sacks
H2543
on their donkeys,
H4997
and wineskins,
H3196
H1087
old
H1234
and torn
H6887
and bound up,
5
H1087
and old
H2921
and patched
H5275
shoes
H7272
on their feet,
H1087
and wore old
H8008
garments.
H3899
All the bread
H6718
of their provision
H3001
was dry
H5350
and moldy.
6
H3212
They went
H3091
to Joshua
H4264
to the camp
H1537
at Gilgal,
H559
and said
H376
to him, and to the men
H3478
of Israel,
H935
"We have come
H7350
from a far
H776
country.
H3772
Now therefore make
H1285
a covenant with us."
7
H376
The men
H3478
of Israel
H559
said
H2340
to the Hivites,
H194
"What
H3427
if you live
H7130
among
H3772
us. How could we make
H1285
a covenant with you?"
8
H559
They said
H3091
to Joshua,
H5650
"We are your servants."
H3091
Joshua
H559
said
H370
to them, "Who are you? Where
H935
do you come from?"
9
H559
They said
H5650
to him, "Your servants
H935
have come
H3966
from a very
H7350
far
H776
country
H8034
because of the name
H3068
of Yahweh
H430
your God;
H8085
for we have heard
H8089
of his fame,
H6213
all that he did
H4714
in Egypt,
10
H6213
and all that he did
H8147
to the two
H4428
kings
H567
of the Amorites
H5676
who were beyond
H3383
the Jordan,
H5511
to Sihon
H4428
king
H2809
of Heshbon
H5747
and to Og
H4428
king
H1316
of Bashan,
H6252
who was at Ashtaroth.
11
H2205
Our elders
H3427
and all the inhabitants
H776
of our country
H559
spoke
H559
to us, saying,
H3947
‘Take
H6720
provision
H3027
in your
H1870
hand for the journey,
H3212
and go
H7125
to meet
H559
them, and tell
H5650
them, "We are your servants.
H3772
Now make
H1285
a covenant with us."'
12
H3899
This our bread
H2525
we took hot
H6679
for our provision
H1004
out of our houses
H3117
on the day
H3318
we went out
H3212
to go
H3001
to you; but now, behold, it is dry,
H5350
and has become moldy.
13
H4997
These wineskins,
H3196
H4390
which we filled,
H2319
were new;
H1234
and behold, they are torn.
H8008
These our garments
H5275
and our shoes
H1086
have become old
H3966
because of the very
H7230
long
H1870
journey."
14
H582
The men
H3947
sampled
H6718
their provisions,
H7592
and didn't ask
H6310
counsel from the mouth
H3068
of Yahweh.
15
H3091
Joshua
H6213
made
H7965
peace
H6213
with them, and made
H1285
a covenant
H2421
with them, to let them live.
H5387
The princes
H5712
of the congregation
H7650
swore to them.
16
H7097
It happened at the end
H7969
of three
H3117
days
H310
after
H3772
they had made
H1285
a covenant
H8085
with them, that they heard
H7138
that they were their neighbors,
H3427
and that they lived
H7130
among them.
17
H1121
The children
H3478
of Israel
H5265
traveled
H935
and came
H5892
to their cities
H7992
on the third
H3117
day.
H5892
Now their cities
H1391
were Gibeon,
H3716
Chephirah,
H881
Beeroth,
H7157
and Kiriath Jearim.
18
H1121
The children
H3478
of Israel
H5221
didn't strike
H5387
them, because the princes
H5712
of the congregation
H7650
had sworn
H3068
to them by Yahweh,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel.
H5712
All the congregation
H3885
murmured
H5387
against the princes.
19
H5387
But all the princes
H559
said
H5712
to all the congregation,
H7650
"We have sworn
H3068
to them by Yahweh,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel:
H3201
now therefore we may
H5060
not touch them.
20
H6213
This we will do
H2421
to them, and let them live;
H7110
lest wrath
H7621
be on us, because of the oath
H7650
which we swore to them."
21
H5387
The princes
H559
said
H2421
to them, "Let them live,
H6086
so they became wood
H2404
cutters
H7579
and drawers
H4325
of water
H5712
for all the congregation,
H5387
as the princes
H1696
had spoken to them."
22
H3091
Joshua
H7121
called
H1696
for them, and he spoke
H559
to them, saying,
H7411
"Why have you deceived
H559
us, saying,
H3966
‘We are very
H7350
far
H3427
from you,' when you live
H7130
among us?
23
H779
Now therefore you are cursed,
H3772
and some of you will never fail
H5650
to be bondservants,
H6086
both wood
H2404
cutters
H7579
and drawers
H4325
of water
H1004
for the house
H430
of my God."
24
H6030
They answered
H3091
Joshua,
H559
and said,
H5650
"Because your servants
H5046
were certainly
H5046
told
H3068
how Yahweh
H430
your God
H6680
commanded
H5650
his servant
H4872
Moses
H5414
to give
H776
you all the land,
H8045
and to destroy
H3427
all the inhabitants
H776
of the land
H6440
from before
H3966
you. Therefore we were very
H3372
afraid
H5315
for our lives
H6440
because
H6213
of you, and have done
H1697
this thing.
25
H2009
Now, behold, we
H3027
are in your hand.
H6213
Do
H5869
to us as it seems
H2896
good
H3477
and right
H6213
to you to do."
