Joshua 9:4 BBE

²  Came together with one purpose, to make war against Joshua and Israel.

³  And the men of Gibeon, hearing what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,

⁴  Acting with deceit, got food together as if for a long journey; and took old food-bags for their asses, and old and cracked wine-skins kept together with cord;

⁵  And put old stitched-up shoes on their feet, and old clothing on their backs; and all the food they had with them was dry and broken up.

⁶  And they came to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, We have come from a far country: so now make an agreement with us.
