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.
They went to Joshua in the camp at
Gilgal and said to him and the men of Israel, “We have come
from a distant land; please make a treaty with us.”
And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?
“We are your servants,” they said to Joshua. Then Joshua asked them, “Who are you and where have you come from?”
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,
“Your servants have come from a very distant land,” they replied, “because of the fame of the LORD your God. For we have heard the reports about Him: all that He did in Egypt,
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.
These wineskins were new when we filled them, but look, they are
cracked. And these clothes and
sandals are worn out
from our very long journey.”
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?

deceive us by telling us you live far away
from us, when in fact you live among us?

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.

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.

wipe out all its inhabitants before you. So we greatly feared for our lives because of you, and that is why we have done this.

Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to
Gilgal, saying,
Slack not thy hand
from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the
Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.

Gibeon sent word to Joshua in the camp at
Gilgal: “Do not
abandon your servants. Come quickly and save us! Help us, because all the kings of the
Amorites from the hill country have joined forces against us.”

And it came to pass, as they fled
from before Israel, and were in the going down to Beth-horon, that the LORD cast down great stones
from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel
slew with the sword.
As they fled before Israel along the descent from Beth-horon to Azekah, the LORD cast down on them large hailstones from the sky, and more of them were killed by the hailstones than by the swords of the Israelites.
And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and
smite the
hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.
But you, do not stop there. Pursue your enemies and attack them from behind. Do not let them reach their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.”
And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been
hid, and laid great stones in the cave’s mouth, which remain until this very day.

Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What
trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day
from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might
rebel this day against the LORD?
“This is what the whole congregation of the LORD says: ‘What is this breach of faith you have committed
today against the God of Israel by turning away
from the LORD and building for
yourselves an altar, that you might
rebel against the LORD this day?
Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us,
from which we are not
cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,
Was not the sin of Peor enough for us,
from which we have not
cleansed ourselves to this day? It even brought a plague upon the congregation of the LORD.
But that ye must turn away this day
from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye
rebel to day against the LORD, that to
morrow he will be
wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.
And now, would you turn away
from the LORD? If you
rebel today against the LORD,
tomorrow He will be
angry with the whole congregation of Israel.
That we have built us an altar to turn
from following the LORD, or if to offer
thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings
thereon, let the LORD himself require it;
If we have built for ourselves an altar to turn away
from Him and to offer burnt offerings and grain offerings on it, or to sacrifice
fellowship offerings on it, may the LORD Himself hold us accountable.
For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of
Reuben and children of
Gad; ye have no part in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease
from fearing the LORD.
For the LORD has made the Jordan a border between us and you Reubenites and Gadites. You have no share in the LORD!’ So your descendants could cause ours to stop fearing the LORD.
God
forbid that we should
rebel against the LORD, and turn this day
from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle.
Far be it
from us to
rebel against the LORD and turn away
from Him
today by building an altar for burnt offerings, grain offerings, or sacrifices, other than the altar of the LORD our God, which stands before His tabernacle.”
And
Phinehas the son of
Eleazar the priest said unto the children of
Reuben, and to the children of
Gad, and to the children of
Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because ye have not committed this
