Joshua 9:3-13

3And when the inhabitantsH3427 of GibeonH1391 heardH8085 what JoshuaH3091 had doneH6213 to JerichoH3405 and to AiH5857, 4They also workedH6213 deceitfullyH6195, and wentH3212 and made as if they had been ambassadorsH6737, and tookH3947 oldH1087 sacksH8242 upon their donkeysH2543, and wineH3196 bottlesH4997, oldH1087, and tornH1234, and bound upH6887; 5And oldH1087 and patchedH2921 shoesH5275 upon their feetH7272, and oldH1087 garmentsH8008 upon them; and all the breadH3899 of their provisionH6718 was dryH3001 and mouldyH5350. 6And they wentH3212 to JoshuaH3091 to the campH4264 at GilgalH1537, and saidH559 to him, and to the menH376 of IsraelH3478, We have comeH935 from a farH7350 countryH776: now therefore makeH3772 ye a leagueH1285 with us. 7And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 to the HivitesH2340, PerhapsH194 ye dwellH3427 amongH7130 us; and how shall we makeH3772 a leagueH1285 with you? 8And they saidH559 to JoshuaH3091, We are thy servantsH5650. And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 to them, Who are ye? and whereH370 did you comeH935 from? 9And they saidH559 to him, From a veryH3966 farH7350 countryH776 thy servantsH5650 have comeH935 because of the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 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, who was at AshtarothH6252. 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.
