Joshua 9:16

Three days after they made the treaty with them, the Israelites found out they were from the local area and lived nearby. ¹ 

Three days after they made the treaty with the Gibeonites, the Israelites heard that they were neighbours, living near them.

It came about at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were neighbors and that they were living within their land.

Three days later, the facts came out––these people of Gibeon lived nearby!

And then, three days after making this covenant, they learned that they were next-door neighbors who had been living there all along!

Now three days after, when they had made this agreement with them, they had word that these men were their neighbours, living near them.

But when three days had passed after they had made a treaty with them, they heard that they were their neighbors and were living among them.

And it happened at the end of three days, after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors who dwelt near them.

Three days after they made the treaty with them, the Israelites found out they were from the local area and lived nearby. ¹
