2. they gathered together to fight with Yehoshua and Yisra’ĕl with one accord.
3. And the inhabitants of Giḇ‛on heard what Yehoshua had done to Yeriḥo and Ai,
4. and they acted slyly and went and pretended to be envoys. And they took old sacks on their donkeys, old wineskins torn and mended,
5. and old and patched sandals on their feet, and old garments on themselves. And all the bread of their provision was dry, it was crumbs.
6. And they went to Yehoshua, to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Yisra’ĕl, “We have come from a far land, and now, make a covenant with us.”
