@ Wherefore our
elders
and all the
inhabitants
of our
country
spake
to us,
saying
,
Take
victuals
with
you
for the
journey
, and
go
to
meet
them, and
say
unto them, We are your
servants
: therefore now
make
ye a
league
with us.
strkjv@Joshua:9:12
@ This our
bread
we took
hot
for our
provision
out of our
houses
on the
day
we came
forth
to
go
unto you; but now, behold, it is
dry
, and it is
mouldy
:
strkjv@Joshua:9:13
@ And these
bottles
of
wine
, which we
filled
, were
new
; and, behold, they be
rent
: and these our
garments
and our
shoes
are become
old
by reason of the
very
long
journey
.
strkjv@Joshua:9:14
@ And the
men
took
of their
victuals
, and
asked
not counsel at the
mouth
of the
LORD
.
strkjv@Joshua:9:15
@ And
Joshua
made
peace
with them, and
made
a
league
with them, to let them
live
: and the
princes
of the
congregation
sware
unto them.
strkjv@Joshua:9:16
@ And it came to pass at the
end
of
three
days
after
they had
made
a
league
with them, that they
heard
that they were their
neighbours
, and that they
dwelt
among
them.
strkjv@Joshua:9:17
@ And the
children
of
Israel
journeyed
, and
came
unto their
cities
on the
third
day
. Now their
cities
were
Gibeon
, and
Chephirah
, and
Beeroth
B@, and
Kirjathjearim
Qiryath Y@.
strkjv@Joshua:9:18
@ And the
children
of
Israel
smote
them not, because the
princes
of the
congregation
had
sworn
unto them by the
LORD
God
of
Israel
. And all the
congregation
murmured
against the
princes
.
strkjv@Joshua:9:19
@ But all the
princes
said
unto all the
congregation
, We have
sworn
unto them by the
LORD
God
of
Israel
: now therefore we
may
not
touch
them.
strkjv@Joshua:9:20
@ This we will
do
to them; we will even let them
live
, lest
wrath
be upon us, because of the
oath
which we
sware
unto them.
strkjv@Joshua:9:21
@ And the
princes
said
unto them, Let them
live
; but let them be
hewers
of
wood
and
drawers
of
water
unto all the
congregation
; as the
princes
had
promised
them.
strkjv@Joshua:9:22
@ And
Joshua
called
for them, and he
spake
unto them,
saying
, Wherefore have ye
beguiled
us,
saying
, We are
very
far
from you; when ye
dwell
among
us?
strkjv@Joshua:9:23
@ Now therefore ye are
cursed
, and there shall none of you be
freed
from being
bondmen
, and
hewers
of
wood
and
drawers
of
water
for the
house
of my
God
.
