And when the kings of the Amorites on the other side of Jordan, who were in the mountain country, and in the plain, and in all the coast of the great sea, and those who were near Antilibanus, and the Hittites{gr.Chettites}, and the Canaanites{gr.Chananites}, and the Perizzites{gr.Pherezites}, and the Hivites{gr.Evites}, and the Amorites, and the Girgashites{gr.Gergesites}, and the Jebusites, heard [of it], |
|
9:1 ¶
And it came to pass,°
when all°
the kings°
which°
[were] on this side°
Jordan,°
in the hills,°
and in the valleys,°
and in all°
the coasts°
of the great°
sea°
over°
against°
Lebanon,°
the Hittite,°
and the Amorite,°
the Canaanite,°
the Perizzite,°
the Hivite,°
and the Jebusite,°
heard°°
[thereof]; |
|
9:2
they came all together at the same time to make war against Joshua{gr.Jesus} and Israel. |
|
9:2
That they gathered°°
themselves°
together,°
to fight°°
with°
Joshua°
and with°
Israel,°
with one°
accord.° |
|
9:3 ¶
And the inhabitants of Gibeon{gr.Gabaon} heard of all that the Lord did to Jericho and Ai{gr.Gai}. |
|
9:3 ¶
And when the inhabitants°°
of Gibeon°
heard°°°
what°
Joshua°
had done°°
unto Jericho°
and to Ai,° |
|
9:4
And they also wrought craftily, and they went and made provision and prepared themselves; and having taken old sacks on their shoulders, and old and rent and patched bottles of wine, |
|
9:4
They°
did work°°
wilily,°
and went°°°
and made as if they had been ambassadors,°°
and took°°
old°
sacks°
upon their asses,°
and wine°
bottles,°
old,°
and rent,°°
and bound up;°° |
|
9:5
and the upper part of their shoes and their sandals old and clouted on their feet, and their garments old upon them-- and the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy and corrupt. |
|
9:5
And old°
shoes°
and clouted°°
upon their feet,°
and old°
garments°
upon°
them; and all°
the bread°
of their provision°
was dry°°
[and] mouldy.° |
|
9:6
And they came to Joshua{gr.Jesus} into the camp of Israel to Gilgal{gr.Galgala}, and said to Joshua{gr.Jesus} and Israel, We are come from a far land: now then make a covenant with us. |
|
9:6
And they went°°°
to°
Joshua°
unto°
the camp°
at Gilgal,°
and said°°
unto°
him, and to°
the men°
of Israel,°
We be come°°
from a far°
country:°°°
now°
therefore make°°
ye a league°
with us. |
|
9:7
And the children of Israel said to the Horite{gr.Chorrhaean}, Peradventure thou dwellest amongst us; and how should I make a covenant with thee? |
|
9:7
And the men°
of Israel°
said°°
unto°
the Hivites,°
Peradventure°
ye°
dwell°°
among°
us; and how°
shall we make°°
a league°
with you? |
|
9:8
And they said to Joshua{gr.Jesus}, We are thy servants: and Joshua{gr.Jesus} said to them, Whence are ye, and whence have ye come? |
|
9:8
And they said°°
unto°
Joshua,°
We°
[are] thy servants.°
And Joshua°
said°°
unto°
them, Who°
[are] ye?°
and from whence°°
come°°
ye? |
|
9:9
And they said, Thy servants are come from a very far country in the name of the Lord thy God: for we have heard his name, and all that he did in Mizraim{gr.Egypt}, |
|
9:9
And they said°°
unto°
him, From a very°
far°
country°°°°
thy servants°
are come°°
because of the name°
of Yahweh°
thy Elohim:°
for°
we have heard°°
the fame°
of him, and all°
that°
he did°°
in Egypt,° |
|
9:10
and all that he did to the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, to Sihon{gr.Seon} king of the Amorites, and Og king of Bashan{gr.Basan}, who dwelt in Ashtaroth{gr.Astaroth} and in Edrain. |
|
9:10
And all°
that°
he did°°
to the two°
kings°
of the Amorites,°
that°
[were] beyond°
Jordan,°
to Sihon°
king°
of Heshbon,°
and to Og°
king°
of Bashan,°
which°
[was] at Ashtaroth.° |
|
9:11
And our elders and all that inhabit our land when they heard spoke to us, saying, Take to yourselves provision for the way, and go to meet them; and ye shall say to them, We are thy servants, and now make a covenant with us. |
|
9:11
Wherefore our elders°
and all°
the inhabitants°°
of our country°
spake°°
to°
us, saying,°°
Take°°
victuals°
with you°
for the journey,°
and go°°°
to meet°°
them, and say°°
unto°
them, We°
[are] your servants:°
therefore now°
make°°
ye a league°
with us. |
|
9:12
These [are] the loaves-- we took them hot for our journey on the day on which we came out to come to you; and now they are dried and become mouldy. |
|
9:12
This°
our bread°
we took hot°
[for] our provision°°
out of our houses°°
on the day°
we came forth°°
to go°°°
unto°
you; but now,°
behold,°
it is dry,°°
and it is°
mouldy:° |
|
9:13
And these [are] the skins of wine which we filled when new, and they are rent; and our garments and our shoes are worn out because of the very long journey. |
|
9:13
And these°
bottles°
of wine,°
which°
we filled,°°
[were] new;°
and, behold,°
they be rent:°°
and these°
our garments°
and our shoes°
are become old°°
by reason of the very°
long°°
journey.° |
|
9:14
And the chiefs took of their provision, and asked not [counsel of] the Lord. |
|
9:14
And the men°°
took°°
of their victuals,°°
and asked°°
not°
[counsel] at the mouth°
of Yahweh.° |
|
9:15
And Joshua{gr.Jesus} made peace with them, and they made a covenant with them to preserve them; and the princes of the congregation sware to them. |
|
9:15
And Joshua°
made°°
peace°
with them, and made°°°
a league°
with them, to let them live:°°
and the princes°
of the congregation°
sware°°
unto them. |
|
9:16 ¶
And it came to pass three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were near neighbours, and that they dwelt among them. |
|
9:16 ¶
And it came to pass°
at the end°°
of three°
days°
after°°
they had made°°
a league°
with them, that they heard°°
that°
they°
[were] their°
neighbours,°
and [that] they°
dwelt°°
among°
them. |
|
9:17
And the children of Israel departed and came to their cities; and their cities [were] Gibeon{gr.Gabaon}, and Kephira, and Berot, and the cities of Jarin. |
|
9:17
And the children°
of Israel°
journeyed,°°
and came°°
unto°
their cities°
on the third°
day.°
Now their cities°
[were] Gibeon,°
and Chephirah,°
and Beeroth,°
and Kirjathjearim.° |
|
9:18
And the children of Israel fought not with them, because all the princes sware to them by the Lord God of Israel; and all the congregation murmured at the princes. |
|
9:18
And the children°
of Israel°
smote°°
them not,°
because°
the princes°
of the congregation°
had sworn°°
unto them by Yahweh°
Elohim°
of Israel.°
And all°
the congregation°
murmured°°
against°
the princes.° |
|
9:19
And the princes said to all the congregation: We have sworn to them by the Lord God of Israel, and now we shall not be able to touch them. |
|
9:19
But all°
the princes°
said°°
unto°
all°
the congregation,°
We°
have sworn°°
unto them by Yahweh°
Elohim°
of Israel:°
now°
therefore we may°°
not°
touch°°
them. |
|
9:20
This we will do; take them alive, and we will preserve them: so there shall not be wrath against us by reason of the oath which we swore to them. |
|
9:20
This°
we will do°°
to them; we will even let them live,°°°
lest°
wrath°
be°
upon°
us, because of°
the oath°
which°
we sware°°
unto them. |
|
9:21
They shall live, and shall be hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation, as the princes said to them. |
|
9:21
And the princes°
said°°
unto°
them, Let them live;°°
but let them be°
hewers°°
of wood°
and drawers°°
of water°
unto all°
the congregation;°
as°
the princes°
had promised°°
them. |
|
9:22 ¶
And Joshua{gr.Jesus} called them together and said to them, Why have ye deceived me, saying, We live very far from you; whereas ye are fellow-countrymen of those who dwell among us? |
|
9:22 ¶
And Joshua°
called°°
for them, and he spake°°
unto°
them, saying,°°
Wherefore°
have ye beguiled°°
us, saying,°°
We°
[are] very°
far°
from°
you; when ye°
dwell°°
among°
us? |
|
9:23
And now ye are cursed: there shall not fail of you a slave, or a hewer of wood, or a drawer of water to me and my God. |
|
9:23
Now°
therefore ye°
[are] cursed,°°
and there shall none°
of°
you be freed°°
from being bondmen,°
and hewers°°
of wood°
and drawers°°
of water°
for the house°
of my Elohim.° |
|
9:24
And they answered Joshua{gr.Jesus}, saying, It was reported to us what the Lord thy God charged his servant Mosheh{gr.Moses}, to give you this land, and to destroy us and all that dwelt on it from before you; and we feared very much for our lives because of you, and [therefore] we did this thing. |
|
9:24
And they answered°°°
Joshua,°
and said,°°
Because°
it was certainly°°
told°°
thy servants,°°
how that°
Yahweh°
thy Elohim°
commanded°°
his servant°°
Moses°
to give°°
you all°
the land,°
and to destroy°°°
all°
the inhabitants°°
of the land°
from before°°
you, therefore we were sore°
afraid°°
of our lives°
because°
of°°
you, and have done°°°
this°
thing.° |
|
9:25
And now, behold, we [are] in your power; do to us as it is pleasing to you, and as it seems [good] to you. |
|
9:25
And now,°
behold,°
we°
[are] in thine hand:°
as it seemeth°
good°
and right°
unto thee°
to do°°
unto us, do.°° |
|
9:26
Land they did so to them; and Joshua{gr.Jesus} rescued them in that day out of the hands of the children of Israel, and they did not slay them. |
|
9:26
And so°
did°°
he unto them, and delivered°°
them out of the hand°°
of the children°
of Israel,°
that they slew°°
them not.° |
|
9:27
And Joshua{gr.Jesus} made them in that day hewers of wood and drawers of water to the whole congregation, and for the altar of God: therefore the inhabitants of Gibeon{gr.Gabaon} became hewers of wood and drawers of water for the altar of God until this day, even for the place which the Lord should choose. |
|
9:27
And Joshua°
made°°
them that°
day°
hewers°°
of wood°
and drawers°°
of water°
for the congregation,°
and for the altar°
of Yahweh,°
even unto°
this°
day,°
in°
the place°
which°
he should choose.°° |
