3The inhabitantsH3427 of 1GibeonH1391 also heardH8085 whatH834 JoshuaH3091 had doneH6213 to JerichoH3405 and to AiH5857, 4but they on their partH1571 actedH6213 craftilyH6195 and wentH1980 and tookH6719 provisionsH6719 forH6719 aH6719 journeyH6719, and tookH3947 worn-outH1087 sacksH8242 on their donkeysH2543, and wineskinsH4997 that were wornH1087 outH1087, splitH1234 openH1234, and patchedH6887, 5and worn-outH1087 and patchedH2921 sandalsH5275 on their feetH7272, and worn-outH1087 clothesH8008 on themselves; and allH3605 the breadH3899 of their provisionH6718 wasH3001 dryH3001 and had becomeH1961 crumbledH5350. 6And they wentH1980 to JoshuaH3091 at the 2campH4264 at GilgalH1537 and saidH559 to him and to the menH376 of IsraelH3478, “We have comeH935 from a farH7350 countryH776; nowH6258 then, makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with us.” 7But the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to the 3HivitesH2340, “PerhapsH194 you are livingH3427 4withinH7130 our landH7130; 5howH349 then are we to makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with you?” 8So they saidH559 to JoshuaH3091, “6We are your servantsH5650.” Then JoshuaH3091 saidH559 to them, “WhoH4310 are you and whereH370 do you comeH935 from?” 9They saidH559 to him, “Your servantsH5650 have comeH935 from 7a veryH3966 distantH7350 countryH776 because of the 8fameH8034 of the LordH3068 your GodH430; for 9we have heardH8085 the reportH8089 about 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 in 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, “10We are your servantsH5650; nowH6258 then, makeH3772 a covenantH1285 with us.”’ 12ThisH2088 breadH3899 of ours was hotH2525 when we tookH6719 it forH6719 our provisionsH6719 from our housesH1004 on the dayH3117 that we leftH3318 to comeH1980 to you; but nowH6258 beholdH2009, it isH3001 dryH3001 and has becomeH1961 crumbledH5350. 13And theseH428 wineskinsH4997 whichH834 we filledH4390 were newH2319, and beholdH2009, they are splitH1234 openH1234; and theseH428 clothesH8008 of ours and our sandalsH5275 are wornH1086 outH1086 from the veryH3966 longH7230 journeyH1870.” 14So the menH376 of Israel tookH3947 someH4480 of their provisionsH6718, and 11did not askH7592 for the 12counselH6310 of the LordH3068. 15And 13JoshuaH3091 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.
