Joshua 9:11-21

11And our eldersH2205 and allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of our countryH776 spake to usH413 sayingH559, TakeH3947 provision in your handH3027 for the journeyH1870 and go to meetH7125 them, and sayH559 unto them, WeH587 are your servantsH5650: and nowH6258 makeH3772 ye a covenantH1285 with usH413.

12This our breadH3899 weH3117 tookH3318 hotH2525 for our provisionH3899 outH3318 of our housesH1004 on the dayH3117 weH3117 cameH1961 forthH3318 to goH3318 unto youH3117; but nowH6258, beholdH2009, it is dryH3001, and is becomeH1961 mouldy:

13and theseH428 wineskinsH4997, whichH834 weH834 filledH4390, were newH2319; and, beholdH2009, they be rent: and theseH428 our garmentsH8008 and our shoesH5275 are becomeH1086 oldH1086 by reasonH834 of the veryH3966 longH7230 journeyH1870.

14And the menH376 tookH3947 of their provision, and askedH7592 notH3808 counselH6310 at the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068.

15And JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 peaceH7965 with them, and madeH6213 a covenantH1285 with them, to let them liveH2421: and the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 sware unto them.

16And it cameH1961 to passH1961 at the endH7097 of threeH7969 daysH3117 afterH310 they had madeH3772 a covenantH1285 with them, that they heardH8085 that they were their neighbours, and that they dweltH3427 among them.

17And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 journeyedH5265, and cameH935 unto their citiesH5892 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117. NowH3117 their citiesH5892 were GibeonH1391, and Chephirah, and BeerothH881, and Kiriath-jearimH7157.

18And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 smoteH5221 them notH3808, becauseH3588 the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 had swornH7650 unto them by the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478. And allH3605 the congregationH5712 murmuredH3885 againstH5921 the princesH5387.

19But allH3605 the princesH5387 saidH559 unto allH3605 the congregationH5712, WeH587 have swornH7650 unto them by the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478: nowH6258 therefore weH587 may notH3808 touchH5060 them.

20This weH834 will doH6213 to them, and letH1961 them liveH2421; lest wrathH7110 be uponH5921 usH5921, becauseH5921 of the oathH7621 whichH834 weH834 sware unto them.

21And the princesH5387 saidH559 unto them, LetH1961 them liveH2421: soH1961 they becameH1961 hewersH2404 of woodH6086 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 unto allH3605 the congregationH5712; as the princesH5387 had spokenH1696 unto them.
