Joshua 9:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ They put ·old [^Lworn and patched] sandals on their feet and wore ·old [ragged] clothes, and they took some dry, ·moldy [or crumbling] bread. ⁶ Then they went to Joshua in the camp near Gilgal [4:19].

The men said to Joshua and the ·Israelites [^Lmen of Israel], “We have traveled from a faraway country. Make a peace ·agreement [covenant; treaty] with us.”

⁷ The ·Israelites [men of Israel] said to these Hivites, “Maybe you live near us. How can we make a peace ·agreement [covenant; treaty] with you [Deut. 20:10–18]?”
