Joshua 9:11-21

11And our eldersH2205 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of our country spake to us, sayingH559, TakeH3947 provision in your handH3027 for the journeyH1870, and go to meet them, and sayH559 unto them, We are your servantsH5650: and nowH6258 makeH3772 ye a covenantH1285 with us. 12This our breadH3899 we took hot for our provision out of our housesH1004 on the dayH3117 we came forthH3318 to goH3318 unto you; but nowH6258, behold, it is dryH3001, and is becomeH1961 mouldy: 13and these wine-skins, which we filledH4390, were newH2319; and, behold, they are rent: and these our garmentsH8008 and our shoes are become old by reason of the veryH3966 long journeyH1870. 14And the menH376 tookH3947 of their provision, and askedH7592 not counsel at the mouthH6310 of Jehovah. 15And JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 peaceH7965 with them, and madeH6213 a covenantH1285 with them, to let them liveH2421: and the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 sware unto them.

16And it came to pass at the endH7097 of threeH7969 daysH3117 after they had madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with them, that they heardH8085 that they were their neighbors, and that they dweltH3427 among them. 17And the children of IsraelH3478 journeyed, and cameH935 unto their citiesH5892 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117. Now their citiesH5892 were GibeonH1391, and Chephirah, and BeerothH881, and Kiriath-jearimH7157. 18And the children of IsraelH3478 smote them not, because the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 had swornH7650 unto them by Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. And all the congregationH5712 murmured against the princesH5387. 19But all the princesH5387 saidH559 unto all the congregationH5712, We have swornH7650 unto them by Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: nowH6258 thereforeH6258 we may not touchH5060 them. 20This we will do to them, and let them liveH2421; lest wrathH7110 beH1961 upon us, because of the oathH7621 which we sware unto them. 21And the princesH5387 saidH559 unto them, Let them liveH2421: so they becameH1961 hewers of woodH6086 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 unto all the congregationH5712, as the princesH5387 had spokenH1696 unto them.
