Joshua 9:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 9:6

4 they worked craftily, and went and¹ pretended to be ambassadors. And they took old sacks on their donkeys, old wineskins torn and² mended,

5 old and patched sandals on their feet, and old garments on themselves; and all the bread of their provision was dry and moldy.

6 And they went to Joshua, ^ato the camp at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, “We have come from a far country; now therefore, make a¹ covenant with us.”

7 Then the men of Israel said to the ^aHivites, “Perhaps you dwell among us; so ^bhow can we make a covenant with you?”

8 But they said to Joshua, ^a“We are your servants.” And Joshua said to them, “Who are you, and where do you come from?”
