Joshua 9:3-13
3And when the inhabitantsH3427 of GibeonH1391 heardH8085 what JoshuaH3091 had doneH6213 unto JerichoH3405 and to AiH5857, 4They did workH6213 wililyH6195, and wentH3212 and made as if they had been ambassadorsH6737, and tookH3947 oldH1087 sacksH8242 upon their donkeysH2543, and wineH3196 skinsH4997, oldH1087, and rentH1234, and bound upH6887; 5And oldH1087 shoesH5275 and cloutedH2921 upon their feetH7272, and oldH1087 garmentsH8008 upon them; and all the breadH3899 of their provisionH6718 was dryH3001 and mouldyH5350. 6And they wentH3212 to JoshuaH3091 unto the campH4264 at GilgalH1537, and saidH559 unto him, and to the menH376 of IsraelH3478, We be comeH935 from a farH7350 countryH776: now therefore makeH3772 ye a leagueH1285 with us. 7And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto the HivitesH2340, PeradventureH194 ye dwellH3427 amongH7130 us; and how shall we makeH3772 a leagueH1285 with you? 8And they saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, We are thy servantsH5650. And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto them, Who are ye? and from whenceH370 comeH935 ye? 9And they saidH559 unto him, From a veryH3966 farH7350 countryH776 thy servantsH5650 are comeH935 because of the nameH8034 of YhwhH3068 thy GodH430: for we have heardH8085 the fameH8089 of him, and all that he didH6213 in EgyptH4714, 10And all that he didH6213 to the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, that were beyondH5676 JordanH3383, to SihonH5511 kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809, and to OgH5747 kingH4428 of BashanH1316, which was at AshtarothH6252. 11Wherefore our eldersH2205 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of our countryH776 spakeH559 to us, sayingH559, TakeH3947 victualsH6720 with youH3027 for the journeyH1870, and goH3212 to meetH7125 them, and sayH559 unto them, We are your servantsH5650: therefore now makeH3772 ye a leagueH1285 with us.1 12This our breadH3899 we took hotH2525 for our provisionH6679 out of our housesH1004 on the dayH3117 we came forthH3318 to goH3212 unto you; but now, behold, it is dryH3001, and it is mouldyH5350: 13And these skinsH4997 of wineH3196, which we filledH4390, were newH2319; and, behold, they be rentH1234: and these our garmentsH8008 and our shoesH5275 are become oldH1086 by reason of the veryH3966 longH7230 journeyH1870.
