Joshua 9:9-15

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.”

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.
