Joshua - Chapter: 9


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	That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
9:3	And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,
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 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 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 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 unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?
9:9	And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,
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	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	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 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 men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD.
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 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 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 smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.
9:19	But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch 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	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 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	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 God.
9:24	And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God 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 thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.
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 made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.


9:1	ויהי כשׁמע כל המלכים אשׁר בעבר הירדן בהר ובשׁפלה ובכל חוף הים הגדול אל מול הלבנון החתי והאמרי הכנעני הפרזי החוי והיבוסי׃
9:2	ויתקבצו יחדו להלחם עם יהושׁע ועם ישׂראל פה אחד׃
9:3	וישׁבי גבעון שׁמעו את אשׁר עשׂה יהושׁע ליריחו ולעי׃
9:4	ויעשׂו גם המה בערמה וילכו ויצטירו ויקחו שׂקים בלים לחמוריהם ונאדות יין בלים ומבקעים ומצררים׃
9:5	ונעלות בלות ומטלאות ברגליהם ושׂלמות בלות עליהם וכל לחם צידם יבשׁ היה נקדים׃
9:6	וילכו אל יהושׁע אל המחנה הגלגל ויאמרו אליו ואל אישׁ ישׂראל מארץ רחוקה באנו ועתה כרתו לנו ברית׃
9:7	ויאמרו אישׁ ישׂראל אל החוי אולי בקרבי אתה יושׁב ואיך אכרות לך ברית׃
9:8	ויאמרו אל יהושׁע עבדיך אנחנו ויאמר אלהם יהושׁע מי אתם ומאין תבאו׃
9:9	ויאמרו אליו מארץ רחוקה מאד באו עבדיך לשׁם יהוה אלהיך כי שׁמענו שׁמעו ואת כל אשׁר עשׂה במצרים׃
9:10	ואת כל אשׁר עשׂה לשׁני מלכי האמרי אשׁר בעבר הירדן לסיחון מלך חשׁבון ולעוג מלך הבשׁן אשׁר בעשׁתרות׃
9:11	ויאמרו אלינו זקינינו וכל ישׁבי ארצנו לאמר קחו בידכם צידה לדרך ולכו לקראתם ואמרתם אליהם עבדיכם אנחנו ועתה כרתו לנו ברית׃
9:12	זה לחמנו חם הצטידנו אתו מבתינו ביום צאתנו ללכת אליכם ועתה הנה יבשׁ והיה נקדים׃
9:13	ואלה נאדות היין אשׁר מלאנו חדשׁים והנה התבקעו ואלה שׂלמותינו ונעלינו בלו מרב הדרך מאד׃
9:14	ויקחו האנשׁים מצידם ואת פי יהוה לא שׁאלו׃
9:15	ויעשׂ להם יהושׁע שׁלום ויכרת להם ברית לחיותם וישׁבעו להם נשׂיאי העדה׃
9:16	ויהי מקצה שׁלשׁת ימים אחרי אשׁר כרתו להם ברית וישׁמעו כי קרבים הם אליו ובקרבו הם ישׁבים׃
9:17	ויסעו בני ישׂראל ויבאו אל עריהם ביום השׁלישׁי ועריהם גבעון והכפירה ובארות וקרית יערים׃
9:18	ולא הכום בני ישׂראל כי נשׁבעו להם נשׂיאי העדה ביהוה אלהי ישׂראל וילנו כל העדה על הנשׂיאים׃
9:19	ויאמרו כל הנשׂיאים אל כל העדה אנחנו נשׁבענו להם ביהוה אלהי ישׂראל ועתה לא נוכל לנגע׃
9:20	זאת נעשׂה להם והחיה אותם ולא יהיה עלינו קצף על השׁבועה אשׁר נשׁבענו׃
9:21	ויאמרו אליהם הנשׂיאים יחיו ויהיו חטבי עצים ושׁאבי מים לכל העדה כאשׁר דברו להם הנשׂיאים׃
9:22	ויקרא להם יהושׁע וידבר אליהם לאמר למה רמיתם אתנו לאמר רחוקים אנחנו מכם מאד ואתם בקרבנו ישׁבים׃
9:23	ועתה ארורים אתם ולא יכרת מכם עבד וחטבי עצים ושׁאבי מים לבית אלהי׃
9:24	ויענו את יהושׁע ויאמרו כי הגד הגד לעבדיך את אשׁר צוה יהוה אלהיך את משׁה עבדו לתת לכם את כל הארץ ולהשׁמיד את כל ישׁבי הארץ מפניכם ונירא מאד לנפשׁתינו מפניכם ונעשׂה את הדבר הזה׃
9:25	ועתה הננו בידך כטוב וכישׁר בעיניך לעשׂות לנו עשׂה׃
9:26	ויעשׂ להם כן ויצל אותם מיד בני ישׂראל ולא הרגום׃
9:27	ויתנם יהושׁע ביום ההוא חטבי עצים ושׁאבי מים לעדה ולמזבח יהוה עד היום הזה אל המקום אשׁר יבחר׃


9:1	And it cometh to pass, when all the kings who `are' beyond the Jordan, in the hill-country, and in the low-country, and in every haven of the great sea, over-against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, hear --
9:2	that they gather themselves together to fight with Joshua, and with Israel -- one mouth.
9:3	And the inhabitants of Gibeon have heard that which Joshua hath done to Jericho and to Ai,
9:4	and they work, even they, with subtilty, and go, and feign to be ambassadors, and take old sacks for their asses, and wine-bottles, old, and rent, and bound up,
9:5	and sandals, old and patched, on their feet, and old garments upon them, and all the bread of their provision is dry -- it was crumbs.
9:6	And they go unto Joshua, unto the camp at Gilgal, and say unto him, and unto the men of Israel, `From a land far off we have come, and now, make with us a covenant;'
9:7	and the men of Israel say unto the Hivite, `It may be in our midst ye are dwelling, and how do we make with thee a covenant?'
9:8	and they say unto Joshua, `Thy servants we `are'.' And Joshua saith unto them, `Who `are' ye? and whence come ye?'
9:9	And they say unto him, `From a land very far off have thy servants come, for the name of Jehovah thy God, for we have heard His fame, and all that He hath done in Egypt,
9:10	and all that He hath done to the two kings of the Amorite who `are' beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who `is' in Ashtaroth.
9:11	`And our elders, and all the inhabitants of our land speak unto us, saying, Take in your hand provision for the way, and go to meet them, and ye have said unto them, Your servants we `are', and now, make with us a covenant;
9:12	this our bread -- hot we provided ourselves with it out of our houses, on the day of our coming out to go unto you, and now, lo, it is dry, and hath been crumbs;
9:13	and these `are' the wine-bottles which we filled, new, and lo, they have rent; and these, our garments and our sandals, have become old, from the exceeding greatness of the way.'
9:14	And the men take of their provision, and the mouth of Jehovah have not asked;
9:15	and Joshua maketh with them peace, and maketh with them a covenant, to keep them alive; and swear to them do the princes of the company.
9:16	And it cometh to pass, at the end of three days after that they have made with them a covenant, that they hear that they `are' their neighbours -- that in their midst they are dwelling.
9:17	And the sons of Israel journey and come in unto their cities on the third day -- and their cities `are' Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-Jearim --
9:18	and the sons of Israel have not smitten them, for sworn to them have the princes of the company by Jehovah God of Israel, and all the company murmur against the princes.
9:19	And all the princes say unto all the company, `We -- we have sworn to them by Jehovah, God of Israel; and now, we are not able to come against them;
9:20	this we do to them, and have kept them alive, and wrath is not upon us, because of the oath which we have sworn to them.'
9:21	And the princes say unto them, `They live, and are hewers of wood and drawers of water for all the company, as the princes spake to them.'
9:22	And Joshua calleth for them, and speaketh unto them, saying, `Why have ye deceived us, saying, We are very far from you, and ye in our midst dwelling?
9:23	and now, cursed are ye, and none of you is cut off `from being' a servant, even hewers of wood and drawers of water, for the house of my God.'
9:24	And they answer Joshua and say, `Because it was certainly declared to thy servants, that Jehovah thy God commanded Moses His servant to give to you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; and we fear greatly for ourselves because of you, and we do this thing;
9:25	and now, lo, we `are' in thy hand, as `it is' good, and as `it is' right in thine eyes to do to us -- do.'
9:26	And he doth to them so, and delivereth them from the hand of the sons of Israel, and they have not slain them;
9:27	and Joshua maketh them on that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the company, and for the altar of Jehovah, unto this day, at the place which He doth choose.
