Joshua 9:15-20
151JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 peaceH7965 with them and madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with them, to let them liveH2421; and the leadersH5387 of the congregationH5712 sworeH7650 an oath to them.
16It cameH1961 about at the endH7097 of threeH7969 daysH3117 afterH310 they had madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with them, that they heardH8085 that they were neighborsH7138 and that they were livingH3427 2withinH7130 their landH7130. 17Then the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 setH5265 out and cameH935 to their citiesH5892 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117. Now their citiesH5892 were 3GibeonH1391 and ChephirahH3716 and BeerothH881 and Kiriath-jearimH7157. 18The sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 did not strikeH5221 them becauseH3588 the leadersH5387 of the congregationH5712 had swornH7650 to them by the LordH3068 the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. And the wholeH3605 congregationH5712 grumbledH3885 againstH5921 the leadersH5387. 19But allH3605 the leadersH5387 saidH559 to the wholeH3605 congregationH5712, “We have swornH7650 to them by the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and nowH6258 we cannotH3201H3808 touchH5060 them. 20ThisH2088 we will doH6213 to them, even let them liveH2421, soH3808 that wrathH7110 will not be upon us for the oathH7621 whichH834 we sworeH7650 to them.”
