3When the inhabitantsH3427 of 1GibeonH1391 heardH8085 whatH834 JoshuaH3091 had doneH6213 to JerichoH3405 and to AiH5857,

4they alsoH1571 actedH6213 craftilyH6195 and 2setH1980 out as envoysH6737, and tookH3947 worn-outH1087 sacksH8242 on their donkeysH2543, and wineskinsH4997 worn-outH1087 and tornH1234 and 3mendedH6887,

5and worn-outH1087 and patchedH2921 sandalsH5275 on their feetH7272, and worn-outH1087 clothesH8008 on themselves; and allH3605 the breadH3899 of their provisionH6718 was dryH3001 and had becomeH1961 crumbledH5350.
