Joshua 9:12-18

12ThisH2088 breadH3899 of ours was warmH2525 when we packedH6679 itH853 at homeH1004 on the dayH3117 we leftH3318 to comeH1980 to youH413. But lookH2009, it is nowH6258 dryH3001 andH1961 moldyH5350. 13TheseH428 wineskinsH4997H3196 were newH2319 when we filledH4390 themH834, but lookH2009, they are crackedH1234. And theseH428 clothesH8008 and sandalsH5275 are worn outH1086 from our veryH3966 longH7230 journeyH1870.”

14Then the men of IsraelH582 sampledH3947 their provisionsH6718 but did notH3808 seekH7592 the counselH6310 of the LORDH3068. 15And JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 a treatyH1285 of peaceH7965 with them to let them liveH2421, and the leadersH5387 of the congregationH5712 swore an oathH7650 to them.

16

ThreeH7969 daysH3117 afterH310 they had madeH3772 the treatyH1285 with the Gibeonites, the Israelites learnedH8085 thatH3588 theyH1992 were neighborsH7138, livingH3427 among themH7130H1992. 17So the IsraelitesH1121H3478 set outH5265 and on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 arrivedH935H413 at their citiesH5892—GibeonH1391, ChephirahH3716, BeerothH881, and Kiriath-jearimH7157. 18But the IsraelitesH1121H3478 did notH3808 attack themH5221, becauseH3588 the leadersH5387 of the congregationH5712 had sworn an oathH7650 to them by the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. And the wholeH3605 congregationH5712 grumbledH3885 againstH5921 the leadersH5387.
