Joshua 9:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ They put old mended sandals on their feet, and dressed in old clothing, making sure that all of their provisions were dried out and crumbling. ⁶ They came to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal and said to him and to the people of Israel, “We have come here from a distant country, so make a covenant with us.” ⁷ The Israelites said to the Hivites, “Maybe you actually live among us, how could we make a covenant with you?”
