9They saidH559 to him, “Your servantsH5650 have comeH935 from 1a veryH3966 farH7350 countryH776 because of the 2fameH8034 of the LordH3068 your GodH430; for 3we have heardH8085 the reportH8089 of Him and allH3605 that He didH6213 in EgyptH4714, 10and allH3605 that He didH6213 to the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567 whoH834 were beyondH5676 the JordanH3383, to SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809 and to OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316 whoH834 was at AshtarothH6252. 11So our eldersH2205 and allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of our countryH776 spokeH559 to us, sayingH559, ‘TakeH3947 provisionsH6720 in your handH3027 for the journeyH1870, and goH1980 to meetH7122 them and sayH559 to them, “4We are your servantsH5650; nowH6258 then, makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with us.”’ 12ThisH2088 our breadH3899 was warmH2525 when we tookH6719 it for our provisionsH6719 out of our housesH1004 on the dayH3117 that we leftH3318 to comeH1980 to you; but nowH6258 beholdH2009, it is dryH3001 and has becomeH1961 crumbledH5350. 13TheseH428 wineskinsH4997 whichH834 we filledH4390 were newH2319, and beholdH2009, they are tornH1234; and theseH428 our clothesH8008 and our sandalsH5275 are wornH1086 out becauseH4480 of the veryH3966 longH7231 journeyH1870.” 14So the menH376 of Israel tookH3947 someH4480 of their provisionsH6718, and 5did not askH7592 for the 6counselH6310 of the LordH3068. 157JoshuaH3091 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.
