Joshua 9:3-9

³And they that dwelt in Gibeon, heard (of) all the things that Joshua had done to Jericho, and to Ai;

⁴and they thought fellily, and took to themselves meats, and putted eld sackcloths on asses, and wine bottles broken, and sewed (up)/and patched, (and they thought out things craftily, and then took some food for themselves, and put old sackcloths upon their donkeys, and wine bottles that were broken and then sewed up, or patched,)

⁵and full eld shoes, the which were sewed together with old patches, to show their oldness; and these men were clothed with full old clothes; also the loaves, which they bare for lifelode in the way, were hard and broken into gobbets, (or and the bread, which they carried for sustenance on the way, was hard and broken into pieces).

⁶And they went to Joshua, that dwelled then in tents in Gilgal (or who lived then in the camp at Gilgal); and they said to him, and to all Israel together, We have come from a far land, and we covet to make peace with you.

⁷And the men of Israel answered to them, and said, Lest peradventure ye dwell in the land, which is due to us by heritage, and we may not make bond of peace with you. (And the Israelites answered, and said to them, Agreed, unless ye live in the land that is due to us by inheritance, and then we cannot make a covenant with you.)

⁸And they said to Joshua, We be thy servants. To whom Joshua said, What men be ye, and from whence came ye?

⁹They answered, (We) Thy servants came from a full far land in the name of thy Lord God; for we have heard the fame of his power, and all (the) things which he did in Egypt,
