Joshua 9:3-27

And when the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Gibeon
<01391>

heard
<08085> (8804)

what Joshua
<03091>

had done
<06213> (8804)

unto Jericho
<03405>

and to Ai
<05857>_,

They did work
<06213> (8799)

wilily
<06195>_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

and made as if they had been ambassadors
<06737> (8691)_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

old
<01087>

sacks
<08242>

upon their asses
<02543>_,

and wine
<03196>

bottles
<04997>_,

old
<01087>_,

and rent
<01234> (8794)_,

and bound up
<06887> (8794)_;

And old
<01087>

shoes
<05275>

and clouted
<02921> (8794)

upon their feet
<07272>_,

and old
<01087>

garments
<08008>

upon them; and all the bread
<03899>

of their provision
<06718>

was dry
<03001> (8804)

[and] mouldy
<05350>_.

And they went
<03212> (8799)

to Joshua
<03091>

unto the camp
<04264>

at Gilgal
<01537>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, and to the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>_,

We be come
<0935> (8804)

from a far
<07350>

country
<0776>_:

now therefore make
<03772> (8798)

ye a league
<01285>

with us.

And the men
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the Hivites
<02340>_,

Peradventure
<0194>

ye dwell
<03427> (8802)

among
<07130>

us; and how shall we make
<03772> (8799)

a league
<01285>

with you?

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

We [are] thy servants
<05650>_.

And Joshua
<03091>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Who [are] ye? and from whence
<0370>

come
<0935> (8799)

ye?

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, From a very
<03966>

far
<07350>

country
<0776>

thy servants
<05650>

are come
<0935> (8804)

because of the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>_:

for we have heard
<08085> (8804)

the fame
<08089>

of him, and all that he did
<06213> (8804)

in Egypt
<04714>_,

And all that he did
<06213> (8804)

to the two
<08147>

kings
<04428>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

that [were] beyond
<05676>

Jordan
<03383>_,

to Sihon
<05511>

king
<04428>

of Heshbon
<02809>_,

and to Og
<05747>

king
<04428>

of Bashan
<01316>_,

which [was] at Ashtaroth
<06252>_.

Wherefore our elders
<02205>

and all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of our country
<0776>

spake
<0559> (8799)

to us, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Take
<03947> (8798)

victuals
<06720>

with you
<03027>

for the journey
<01870>_,

and go
<03212> (8798)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

them, and say
<0559> (8804)

unto them, We [are] your servants
<05650>_:

therefore now make
<03772> (8798)

ye a league
<01285>

with us. {with you: Heb. in your hand}

This our bread
<03899>

we took hot
<02525>

[for] our provision
<06679> (8694)

out of our houses
<01004>

on the day
<03117>

we came forth
<03318> (8800)

to go
<03212> (8800)

unto you; but now, behold, it is dry
<03001> (8804)_,

and it is mouldy
<05350>_:

And these bottles
<04997>

of wine
<03196>_,

which we filled
<04390> (8765)_,

[were] new
<02319>_;

and, behold, they be rent
<01234> (8694)_:

and these our garments
<08008>

and our shoes
<05275>

are become old
<01086> (8804)

by reason of the very
<03966>

long
<07230>

journey
<01870>_.

And the men
<0582>

took
<03947> (8799)

of their victuals
<06718>_,

and asked
<07592> (8804)

not [counsel] at the mouth
<06310>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{the men...: or, they received the men by reason of their victuals}

And Joshua
<03091>

made
<06213> (8799)

peace
<07965>

with them, and made
<03772> (8799)

a league
<01285>

with them, to let them live
<02421> (8763)_:

and the princes
<05387>

of the congregation
<05712>

sware
<07650> (8735)

unto them.

And it came to pass at the end
<07097>

of three
<07969>

days
<03117>

after
<0310>

they had made
<03772> (8804)

a league
<01285>

with them, that they heard
<08085> (8799)

that they [were] their neighbours
<07138>_,

and [that] they dwelt
<03427> (8802)

among
<07130>

them.

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

journeyed
<05265> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

unto their cities
<05892>

on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_.

Now their cities
<05892>

[were] Gibeon
<01391>_,

and Chephirah
<03716>_,

and Beeroth
<0881>_,

and Kirjathjearim
<07157>_.

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

smote
<05221> (8689)

them not, because the princes
<05387>

of the congregation
<05712>

had sworn
<07650> (8738)

unto them by the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_.

And all the congregation
<05712>

murmured
<03885> (8735)

against the princes
<05387>_.

But all the princes
<05387>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto all the congregation
<05712>_,

We have sworn
<07650> (8738)

unto them by the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_:

now therefore we may
<03201> (8799)

not touch
<05060> (8800)

them.

This we will do
<06213> (8799)

to them; we will even let them live
<02421> (8687)_,

lest wrath
<07110>

be upon us, because of the oath
<07621>

which we sware
<07650> (8738)

unto them.

And the princes
<05387>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Let them live
<02421> (8799)_;

but let them be hewers
<02404> (8802)

of wood
<06086>

and drawers
<07579> (8802)

of water
<04325>

unto all the congregation
<05712>_;

as the princes
<05387>

had promised
<01696> (8765)

them.

And Joshua
<03091>

called
<07121> (8799)

for them, and he spake
<01696> (8762)

unto them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Wherefore have ye beguiled
<07411> (8765)

us, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

We [are] very
<03966>

far
<07350>

from you; when ye dwell
<03427> (8802)

among
<07130>

us?

Now therefore ye [are] cursed
<0779> (8803)_,

and there shall none of you be freed
<03772> (8735)

from being bondmen
<05650>_,

and hewers
<02404> (8802)

of wood
<06086>

and drawers
<07579> (8802)

of water
<04325>

for the house
<01004>

of my God
<0430>_.

{none...: Heb. not be cut off from you}

And they answered
<06030> (8799)

Joshua
<03091>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Because it was certainly
<05046> (8715)

told
<05046> (8717)

thy servants
<05650>_,

how that the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

his servant
<05650>

Moses
<04872>

to give
<05414> (8800)

you all the land
<0776>_,

and to destroy
<08045> (8687)

all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>

from before
<06440>

you, therefore we were sore
<03966>

afraid
<03372> (8799)

of our lives
<05315>

because
<06440>

of you, and have done
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>_.

And now, behold, we
<02009>

[are] in thine hand
<03027>_:

as it seemeth
<05869>

good
<02896>

and right
<03477>

unto thee to do
<06213> (8800)

unto us, do
<06213> (8798)_.

And so did
<06213> (8799)

he unto them, and delivered
<05337> (8686)

them out of the hand
<03027>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

that they slew
<02026> (8804)

them not.

And Joshua
<03091>

made
<05414> (8799)

them that day
<03117>

hewers
<02404> (8802)

of wood
<06086>

and drawers
<07579> (8802)

of water
<04325>

for the congregation
<05712>_,

and for the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

even unto this day
<03117>_,

in the place
<04725>

which he should choose
<0977> (8799)_.

{made: Heb. gave, or, delivered to be}
