And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when all H3605 CMS the kings H4428 which H834 RPRO [ were ] on this side H5676 Jordan H3383 D-EFS , in the hills H2022 , and in the valleys H8219 , and in all H3605 the coasts H2348 of the great H1419 D-AMS sea H3220 D-NMS over H413 PREP against H4136 Lebanon H3844 , the Hittite H2850 , and the Amorite H567 , the Canaanite H3669 , the Perizzite H6522 , the Hivite H2340 , and the Jebusite H2983 , heard H8085 [ thereof ] ;
That they gathered themselves H6908 together H3162 ADV-3MS , to fight H3898 with H5973 PREP Joshua H3091 and with H5973 Israel H3478 , with one H259 ONUM accord H6310 .
And when the inhabitants H3427 of Gibeon H1391 heard H8085 VQQ3MP what H834 RPRO Joshua H3091 had done H6213 VQQ3MS unto Jericho H3405 and to Ai H5857 ,
They H1992 PPRO-3MP did work H6213 W-VQY3MP wilily H6195 , and went H1980 W-VQY3MP and made as if they had been ambassadors H6737 , and took H3947 W-VQY3MP old H1087 sacks H8242 NMP upon their asses H2543 , and wine H3196 NMS bottles H4997 , old H1087 , and rent H1234 , and bound up H6887 ;
And old H1087 shoes H5275 and clouted H2921 upon their feet H7272 , and old H1087 garments H8008 upon H5921 PREP-3MP them ; and all H3605 W-CMS the bread H3899 NMS of their provision H6718 was dry H3001 [ and ] moldy H5350 .
And they went H1980 W-VQY3MP to H413 PREP Joshua H3091 unto H413 PREP the camp H4264 at Gilgal H1537 , and said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP-3MS him , and to H413 PREP the men H376 NMS of Israel H3478 , We be come H935 from a far country H776 M-NFS : now H6258 W-ADV therefore make H3772 ye a league H1285 with us .
And the men H376 NMS of Israel H3478 said H559 unto H413 PREP the Hivites H2340 , Peradventure H194 ADV ye H859 PPRO-2MS dwell H3427 VQPMS among H7130 us ; and how H349 W-IJEC shall we make H3772 a league H1285 with you ?
And they said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Joshua H3091 , We H587 [ are ] thy servants H5650 . And Joshua H3091 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP them , Who H4310 IPRO [ are ] ye H859 PPRO-2MS ? and from whence H370 WM-ADV come H935 ye ?
And they said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP-3MS him , From a very far country H776 M-NFS thy servants H5650 are come H935 VQQ3MP because of the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS : for H3588 CONJ we have heard H8085 VQQ1MP the fame H8089 of him , and all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO he did H6213 VQQ3MS in Egypt H4714 ,
And all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO he did H6213 VQQ3MS to the two H8147 kings H4428 NMS of the Amorites H567 D-TMS , that H834 RPRO [ were ] beyond H5676 Jordan H3383 D-EFS , to Sihon H5511 king H4428 NMS of Heshbon H2809 , and to Og H5747 king H4428 NMS of Bashan H1316 , which H834 RPRO [ was ] at Ashtaroth H6252 .
Wherefore our elders H2205 and all H3605 W-CMS the inhabitants H3427 of our country H776 spoke H559 W-VQY3MP to H413 us , saying H559 L-VQFC , Take H3947 victuals H6720 with you H3027 for the journey H1870 , and go H1980 W-VQI2MP to meet H7125 them , and say H559 unto H413 PREP-3MP them , We H587 PPRO-1MP [ are ] your servants H5650 : therefore now H6258 W-ADV make H3772 ye a league H1285 with us .
This H2088 DPRO our bread H3899 we took hot H2525 [ for ] our provision H6679 out of our houses H1004 on the day H3117 B-NMS we came forth H3318 to go H1980 L-VQFC unto H413 you ; but now H6258 W-ADV , behold H2009 IJEC , it is dry H3001 , and it is H1961 W-VQQ3MS moldy H5350 :
And these H428 W-PMP bottles H4997 of wine H3196 D-NMS , which H834 RPRO we filled H4390 , [ were ] new H2319 AMP ; and , behold H2009 IJEC , they be rent H1234 : and these H428 W-PMP our garments H8008 and our shoes H5275 are become old H1086 by reason of the very H3966 ADV long H7230 M-NMS journey H1870 D-NMS .
And Joshua H3091 made H6213 W-VQY3MS peace H7965 NMS with them , and made H6213 W-VQY3MS a league H1285 NFS with them , to let them live H2421 : and the princes H5387 of the congregation H5712 swore H7650 unto them .
And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS at the end H7097 M-CMS of three H7969 BMS days H3117 NMP after H310 PREP they had made H3772 a league H1285 NFS with them , that they heard H8085 W-VQY3MP that H3588 CONJ they H1992 PPRO-3MP [ were ] their H413 PREP-3MS neighbors H7138 , and [ that ] they H1992 PPRO-3MP dwelt H3427 among H7130 them .
And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 journeyed H5265 , and came H935 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP their cities H5892 on the third H7992 D-ONUM day H3117 B-AMS . Now their cities H5892 [ were ] Gibeon H1391 , and Chephirah H3716 , and Beeroth H881 , and Kirjath H7157 - jearim .
And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 smote H5221 them not H3808 W-NPAR , because H3588 CONJ the princes H5387 of the congregation H5712 had sworn H7650 unto them by the LORD H3068 God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 . And all H3605 CMS the congregation H5712 murmured H3885 against H5921 PREP the princes H5387 .
But all H3605 NMS the princes H5387 said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the congregation H5712 , We H587 PPRO-1MP have sworn H7650 unto them by the LORD H3068 God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 : now H6258 W-ADV therefore we may H3201 not H3808 NADV touch H5060 them .
This H2063 DPRO we will do H6213 to them ; we will even let them live H2421 , lest H3808 W-NPAR wrath H7110 be H1961 VQY3MS upon H5921 PREP us , because of H5921 PREP the oath H7621 which H834 RPRO we swore H7650 unto them .
And the princes H5387 said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP-3MP them , Let them live H2421 ; but let them be H1961 W-VQY3MP hewers H2404 of wood H6086 and drawers H7579 of water H4325 OMD unto all H3605 L-CMS the congregation H5712 ; as H834 K-RPRO the princes H5387 had promised H1696 them .
And Joshua H3091 called H7121 W-VQY3MS for them , and he spoke H1696 W-VPY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MP them , saying H559 L-VQFC , Wherefore H4100 L-IPRO have ye beguiled H7411 us , saying H559 L-VQFC , We H587 PPRO-1MP [ are ] very H3966 ADV far H7350 from H4480 M-PPRO-2MS you ; when ye H859 W-PPRO-2MP dwell H3427 among H7130 us ?
Now H6258 W-ADV therefore ye H859 PPRO-2MS [ are ] cursed H779 , and there shall none H3808 W-NPAR of H4480 M-PPRO-2MS you be freed H3772 VNI3MS from being bondmen H5650 NMS , and hewers H2404 of wood H6086 and drawers H7579 of water H4325 OMD for the house H1004 of my God H430 CMP-1MS .
And they answered H6030 Joshua H3091 , and said H559 W-VQY3MP , Because H3588 CONJ it was certainly told H5046 thy servants H5650 , how that H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS commanded H6680 VPQ3MS his servant H5650 Moses H4872 to give H5414 L-VQFC you all H3605 NMS the land H776 D-GFS , and to destroy H8045 all H3605 NMS the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 D-GFS from before H6440 you , therefore we were sore H3966 ADV afraid H3372 of our lives H5315 because of you , and have done H6213 this H2088 D-PMS thing H1697 D-NMS .
And now H6258 W-ADV , behold H2009 , we [ are ] in thine hand H3027 B-CFS-2MS : as it seemeth good H2896 and right H3477 unto thee H5869 to do H6213 L-VQFC unto us , do H6213 .
And so H3651 ADV did H6213 W-VQY3MS he unto them , and delivered H5337 them out of the hand H3027 M-GFS of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , that they slew H2026 them not H3808 W-NPAR .
And Joshua H3091 made H5414 them that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS hewers H2404 of wood H6086 and drawers H7579 of water H4325 OMD for the congregation H5712 , and for the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 EDS , even unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS , in H413 PREP the place H4725 D-NMS which H834 RPRO he should choose H977 .
