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.
