Joshua 9:4-6

International Children’s Bible

⁴ So they decided to trick the Israelites. They gathered old leather wine bags that were cracked and mended. They put them on the backs of their donkeys. They also put old sacks on their donkeys. ⁵ The men put old sandals on their feet and wore old clothes. They took some dry, moldy bread. ⁶ Then they went to Joshua in the camp near Gilgal.

The men spoke to Joshua and the men of Israel. They said, “We have traveled from a faraway country. Make a peace agreement with us.”
