1: And as [G5613][G1161] they all heard [G3956] (the the [G3588] kings of the [G3588] Amorites on [G1722] the [G3588] other side [G4008] of the [G3588] Jordan, the [G3588] [ones] in [G1722] the [G3588] mountainous area [G3714], and [G2532] the [G3588] [ones] on [G1722] the [G3588] plain [G3977], and [G2532] the [G3588] [ones] in [G1722] all [G3956] the [G3588] coast [G3882] of the [G3588] sea [G2281] the [G3588] great [G3173], and [G2532] the [G3588] [ones] towards [G4314] the [G3588] Antilebanon, and [G2532] the [G3588] Hittites, and [G2532] the [G3588] Amorites, and [G2532] the [G3588] Gergashites, and [G2532] the [G3588] Canaanites, and [G2532] the [G3588] Perizzites, and [G2532] the [G3588] Hivites, and [G2532] the [G3588] Jebusites)
2: that [G2532] they came together [G4905] to [G1519] the [G3588] same [place] [G1473] to wage war against Joshua and [G2532] Israel all together [G3956].
3: And [G2532] the [G3588] [ones] dwelling [G2730] in Gibeon heard all [G3956] as much as [G3745] Joshua did [G4160] the [G3588] to Jericho and [G2532] the [G3588] to Ai.
4: And [G2532] they acted [G4160], even indeed [G2532][G1065] themselves [G1473] with [G3326] astuteness [G3834]. And [G2532] coming [G2064], they stood by [G2186] and [G2532] prepared [G2090]. And [G2532] taking [G2983] sackcloths [G4526] old [G3820] upon [G1909] the [G3588]ir donkeys [G3688][G1473], and [G2532] leather bags of wine [G3631] old [G3820] [G2532] being broken down [and all] tied up ,
5: and [G2532] the [G3588] hollows the [G3588] in their shoes [G5266][G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588]ir sandals [G4547][G1473] old [G3820] and [G2532] mended on [G1722] the [G3588]ir feet [G4228][G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588]ir garments [G2440][G1473] being old [G3822] upon [G1909] them [G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] bread loaves of the [G3588]ir provisions [G1979][G1473] dry [G3584] were [G1096] and [G2532] moldy and [G2532] [worm] eaten ,
6: that [G2532] they came [G2064] to [G4314] Joshua into [G1519] the [G3588] camp [G3925] of Israel in [G1519] Gilgal. And [G2532] they said [G2036] to [G4314] Joshua, and [G2532] to [G4314] all [G3956] Israel, From out of [G1537] a land '[G1093] far off [G3113] we have come [G2240], and [G2532] now [G3568] ordain [G1303] with us [G1473] a covenant [G1242]!
7: And [G2532] said [G2036] the [G3588] sons [G5207] of Israel] to [G4314] the [G3588] Hivites, Look [G3708], not [G3361] with [G1722] me [G1473] you do dwell together , so [G2532] how [G4459] do we ordain [G1303] with you [G1473] a covenant [G1242]?
8: And [G2532] they said [G2036] to [G4314] Joshua, your servants [G3610][G1473] We are . And [G2532] said [G2036] to [G4314] them [G1473] Joshua], From what place [G4159] are you , and [G2532] from what place [G4159] do you come [G3854]?
9: And [G2532] they said [G2036] to [G4314] him [G1473], from out of [G1537] a land '[G1093] far off [G3113] exceedingly [G4970] have come [G2240] the [G3588] your servants [G3816][G1473] in [G1722] name [G3686] of Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] God '[G2316] of you [G1473]. For we have heard [G1063] the [G3588] name [G3686] of him [G1473], and [G2532] all [G3956] as much as [G3745] he did [G4160] in [G1722] Egypt;
10: and [G2532] all [G3956] as much as [G3745] he did [G4160] to the [G3588] two [G1417] kings of the [G3588] Amorites, to the ones who [G3739] were on the other side [G4008] of the [G3588] Jordan, [to the [G3588] Sihon king of Heshbon, and [G2532] [to the [G3588] Og king of the [G3588] Bashan, who [G3739] dwelt [G2730] in [G1722] Ashtaroth and [G2532] in [G1722] Edrain.
11: And [G2532] spoke [G2036] to [G4314] us [G1473] the [G3588] our elders [G4245][G1473], and [G2532] all [G3956] the [G3588] [ones] dwelling [G2730] [in the [G3588] our land '[G1093][G1473], saying [G3004], Take [G2983] for yourselves [G1438] provisions [G1979] for [G1519] the [G3588] journey [G3598], and [G2532] go [G4198] to [G1519] meet with [G4877] them [G1473]! And [G2532] you will say [G2046] to [G4314] them [G1473], your servants [G3610][G1473] We are , and [G2532] now [G3568] ordain [G1303] with us [G1473] the [G3588] covenant [G1242]!
12: These [are [G3778] the [G3588] our bread loaves [G1473] [we took] hot , being provided of them [G1473] from our houses [G3624][G1473] in [G1722] the [G3588] day [G2250] in which [G3739] we came forth [G1831] to come [G3854] to [G4314] you [G1473]. And now [G3568][G1161] look [G2400], they are dry [G3583], and [G2532] have become [G1096] [worm] eaten .
13: And [G2532] these are [G3778] the [G3588] leather bags for the [G3588] wine [G3631] which [G3739] we filled [G4130] new [G2537], And [G2532] these are [G3778] torn [G4486]. And [G2532] these [are [G3778] the [G3588] our garments [G2440][G1473] made old [G3822] from the [G3588] long [G4183] journey [G3598] exceedingly [G4970].
14: And [G2532] took [G2983] the [G3588] rulers the [G3588]ir provisions [G1979][G1473], and [G2532] the [G3588] mouth [G4750] of Boss '[G2962] they did not ask [G3756][G1905].
15: And [G2532] made [G4160] with [G4314] them [G1473] Joshua peace [G1515], and [G2532] ordained [G1303] with [G4314] them [G1473] a covenant [G1242], and [G2532] swore by an oath [G3660] to them [G1473] the [G3588] rulers of the [G3588] congregation [G4864].
16: And [G2532] it came to pass [G1096] after [G3326] three [G5140] days [G2250], after [G3326] the [G3588] ordaining [G1303] with [G4314] them [G1473] a covenant [G1242], they heard that [G3754] near they are them [G1473], and [G2532] that [G3754] among [G1722] them [G1473] they dwelt [G2730].
17: And [G2532] departed the [G3588] sons [G5207] of Israel], and [G2532] came forth [G1831] into [G1519] the [G3588]ir cities [G4172][G1473] the [G3588] day [G2250] the [G3588] third [G5154]. And the [G3588][G1161] their cities [were [G4172][G1473] Gibeon, and [G2532] Chephirah, and [G2532] Beeroth, and [G2532] cities [G4172] of Jearim.
18: And [G2532] did not [G3756] wage war [G4170] with them [G1473] the [G3588] sons [G5207] of Israel], for [G3754] swore by an oath [G3660] to them [G1473] all [G3956] the [G3588] rulers of the [G3588] congregation [G4864] by Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] God '[G2316] of Israel. And [G2532] complained [G1234] all [G3956] the [G3588] congregation [G4864] about [G1909] the [G3588] rulers .
19: And [G2532] said [G2036] all [G3756] the [G3588] rulers to all [G3956] the [G3588] congregation [G4864], We [G1473] swore by an oath [G3660] to them [G1473] by Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] God '[G2316] of Israel. And [G2532] now [G3568], we will not [G3756] be able [G1410] to touch them [G1473].
20: This [G3778] we will do [G4160] to them [G1473] -- to take them alive [G2221][G1473], and [G2532] we will preserve [G4046] them [G1473], and [G2532] there will not [G3756] be against [G2596] us [G1473] anger [G3709] on account of [G1223] the [G3588] oath [G3727] which [G3739] we swore by an oath [G3660] to them [G1473].
21: And [G2532] said [G2036] to them [G1473] the [G3588] rulers , They will live [G2198], and [G2532] they will be woodcutters and [G2532] water-carriers to all [G3956] the [G3588] congregation [G4864], just as [G2509] said [G2036] to them [G1473] the [G3588] rulers .
22: And [G2532] called them together [G4779][G1473] Joshua], and [G2532] he spoke [G2036] to them [G1473], saying [G3004], Why did [G1302] you mislead [G3884] me [G1473], saying [G3004], far [G3112] We are from you [G1473] exceedingly [G4970]; but you [G1473][G1161] are natives of the [G3588] [ones] dwelling [G2730] among [G1722] us [G1473]?
23: And [G2532] now [G3568] you are accursed [G1944], in no way will there fail [G1587] from [G1537] [one] of you [G1473] [being] a servant [G1401], nor [G3761] woodcutter , nor [G3761] a water-carrier to me [G1473], and [G2532] to the [G3588] God '[G2316] of me [G1473].
24: And [G2532] they answered the [G3588] Joshua, saying [G3004] that [G3754], A word-conveyed (message) ' was announced to us [G1473] as much as [G3745] ordered [G4929] Boss '[G2962] the [G3588] your God '[G2316][G1473] Moses the [G3588] his servant [G3816][G1473] to give [G1325] to you [G1473] this [G3778] the [G3588] land '[G1093], and [G2532] to utterly destroy [G1842] us [G1473], and [G2532] all [G3956] the [G3588] [ones] dwelling [G2730] upon [G1909] it [G1473], from in front [G4383] of you [G1473]. And [G2532] we feared [G5399] exceedingly [G4970] for [G4012] the [G3588] our lives [G5590][G1473] from your presence [G4383][G1473], and [G2532] we did [G4160] the [G3588] this [thing] [G4229][G3778].
25: And [G2532] now [G3568], look [G2400], we [are [G1473] under your hands [G1473] as [G5613] it pleases you [G1473]. And [G2532] as [G5613] it seems [good [G1380] to do [G4160] to us [G1473], you do it [G4160]!
26: And [G2532] they did [G4160] to them [G1473] thus [G3779], and [G2532] rescued [G1807] them [G1473] Joshua] in [G1722] the [G3588] that day [G2250][G1565] from [G1537] hands [G5495] of sons [G5207] of Israel, and [G2532] they did not [G3756] do away with them [G1473].
27: And [G2532] established [G2525] them [G1473] Joshua] in [G1722] the [G3588] that day [G2250][G1565] as woodcutters and [G2532] water-carriers to all [G3956] the [G3588] congregation [G4864], and [G2532] for the [G3588] altar [G2379] of the [G3588] God '[G2316] until [G2193] the [G3588] day [G2250] today [G4594], and [G2532] for [G1519] the [G3588] place [G5117] which [G3739] ever BOSS should choose [G1586][G2962].
