*
They said to him , "
From a very far country your servants have come ,
because of the name of the LORD your God ;
for we have heard a report of him ,
and all that he did in Egypt ,
*
and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan ,
Sihon the king of Heshbon ,
and Og king of Bashan ,
who dwelt in Ash '
taroth .
*
And our elders and all the inhabitants of our country said to us , `
Take provisions in your hand for the journey ,
and go to meet them ,
and say to them , "
We are your servants ;
come now ,
make a covenant with us ."'
*
Here is our bread ;
it was still warm when we took it from our houses as our food for the journey ,
on the day we set forth to come to you ,
but now ,
behold ,
it is dry and moldy ;
*
these wineskins were new when we filled them ,
and behold ,
they are burst ;
and these garments and shoes of ours are worn out from the very long journey ."
