Joshua 9:11-21
11Therefore our eldersH2205 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of our countryH776 spokeH559 to us, sayingH559, TakeH3947 provisionsH6720 with youH3027 for the journeyH1870, and goH3212 to meetH7125 them, and sayH559 to 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 to you; but now, behold, it is dryH3001, and it is mouldyH5350: 13And these bottlesH4997 of wineH3196, which we filledH4390, were newH2319; and, behold, they are tornH1234: and these our garmentsH8008 and our shoesH5275 are become oldH1086 by reason of the veryH3966 longH7230 journeyH1870. 14And the menH582 tookH3947 of their provisionsH6718, and askedH7592 not counsel at the mouthH6310 of the LORDH3068.2
15And JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 peaceH7965 with them, and madeH3772 a leagueH1285 with them, to let them liveH2421: and the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 sworeH7650 to them. 16And it came to pass at the endH7097 of threeH7969 daysH3117 afterH310 they had madeH3772 a leagueH1285 with them, that they heardH8085 that they were their neighboursH7138, and that they dweltH3427 amongH7130 them. 17And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 journeyedH5265, and cameH935 to their citiesH5892 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117. Now their citiesH5892 were GibeonH1391, and ChephirahH3716, and BeerothH881, and KirjathjearimH7157. 18And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 smoteH5221 them not, because the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 had swornH7650 to them by the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478. And all the congregationH5712 murmuredH3885 against the princesH5387. 19But all the princesH5387 saidH559 to all the congregationH5712, We have swornH7650 to them by the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478: now therefore we mayH3201 not touchH5060 them. 20This we will doH6213 to them; we will even let them liveH2421, lest wrathH7110 be upon us, because of the oathH7621 which we sworeH7650 to them. 21And the princesH5387 saidH559 to them, Let them liveH2421; but let them be hewersH2404 of woodH6086 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 to all the congregationH5712; as the princesH5387 had promisedH1696 them.
