Joshua 9:11-21

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.
