Joshua 9:4-13

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, 10andH853 allH3605 thatH834 He didH6213 to the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567 beyondH5676 the JordanH3383—SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809 and OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316, whoH834 reigned in AshtarothH6252. 11So the eldersH2205 andH3605 inhabitantsH3427 of our landH776 toldH559 usH413, ‘TakeH3947 provisionsH6720 for your journeyH1870; goH1980 to meet themH7122 and sayH559 to themH413: WeH587H6258 are your servantsH5650. Please makeH3772 a treatyH1285 with us.’

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.”
