Joshua 9:3-9
3But the peopleH3427 of GibeonH1391, having heardH8085 whatH834 JoshuaH3091 had doneH6213 to JerichoH3405 and AiH5857, 4acted deceptivelyH6213H1571H1992H6195 and set outH1980 as envoysH6737,1 carryingH3947 on their donkeysH2543 worn-outH1087 sacksH8242 and oldH1087 wineskinsH4997H3196, crackedH1234 and mendedH6887. 5They put wornH1087, patchedH2921 sandalsH5275 on their feetH7272 and threadbareH1087 clothingH8008 onH5921 their bodies, and their wholeH3605 supplyH6718 of breadH3899 was dryH3001H1961 and moldyH5350. 6They wentH1980 toH413 JoshuaH3091 inH413 the campH4264 at GilgalH1537 and saidH559 to himH413 andH413 the menH376 of IsraelH3478, “We have comeH935H6258 from a distantH7350 landH776; please makeH3772 a treatyH12852 with us.”
7But the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 toH413 the HivitesH2340, “PerhapsH194 youH859 dwellH3427 near usH7130. HowH349 can we makeH3772 a treaty with youH1285?”
8“WeH587 are your servantsH5650,” they saidH559 toH413 JoshuaH3091.
Then JoshuaH3091 asked themH559H413, “WhoH4310 are youH859 and whereH370 have you come fromH935?”
9“Your servantsH5650 have comeH935 from a veryH3966 distantH7350 landH776,” they repliedH559H413, “because of the fameH8034 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430. ForH3588 we have heardH8085 the reports about HimH8089: allH3605 thatH834 He didH6213 in EgyptH4714,
