Joshua 9:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ they decided to trick the Israelites. They gathered old sacks and old ·leather wine bags [wineskins] that were cracked and mended, and they put them on the backs of their donkeys. 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.”
