Josh 9:1 And it came to pass, when all the kings which were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof;

wayyiṯəqabbəṣû yaḥədāw ləhillāḥēm ‘im-yəhôšua‘ wə‘im-yiśərā’ēl peh ’eḥāḏ

Josh 9:2 That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.

wəyōšəḇê g̱iḇə‘ôn šāmə‘û ’ēṯ ’ăšer ‘āśāh yəhôšua‘ lîrîḥô wəlā‘āy

Josh 9:3 And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,

wayya‘ăśû g̱am-hēmmāh bə‘ārəmāh wayyēləḵû wayyiṣəṭayyārû wayyiqəḥû śaqqîm bālîm laḥămôrêhem wənō’ḏôṯ yayin bālîm ûməḇuqqā‘îm ûməṣōrārîm

Josh 9:4 They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;

ûnə‘ālôṯ bālôṯ ûməṭullā’ôṯ bərag̱əlêhem ûśəlāmôṯ bālôṯ ‘ălêhem wəḵōl leḥem ṣêḏām yāḇēš hāyāh niqquḏîm

Josh 9:5 And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy.

wayyēləḵû ’el-yəhôšua‘ ’el-hammaḥăneh haggiləgāl wayyō’mərû ’ēlāyw wə’el-’îš yiśərā’ēl mē’ereṣ rəḥôqāh bā’nû wə‘attāh kirəṯû-lānû ḇərîṯ

Josh 9:6 And they went to Joshua unto the camp at 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.

wayyō’mer ’îš-yiśərā’ēl ’el-haḥiwwî ’ûlay bəqirəbî ’attāh yôšēḇ wə’êḵ ’eḵərāṯ-ləḵā ḇərîṯ

Josh 9:7 And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?

wayyō’mərû ’el-yəhôšua‘ ‘ăḇāḏeyḵā ’ănāḥənû wayyō’mer ’ălēhem yəhôšua‘ mî ’attem ûmē’ayin tāḇō’û

Josh 9:8 And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?

wayyō’mərû ’ēlāyw mē’ereṣ rəḥôqāh mə’ōḏ bā’û ‘ăḇāḏeyḵā ləšēm yəhwāh ’ĕlōheyḵā kî-šāma‘ənû šāmə‘ô wə’ēṯ kāl-’ăšer ‘āśāh bəmiṣərāyim

Josh 9:9 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,

wə’ēṯ kāl-’ăšer ‘āśāh lišənê maləḵê hā’ĕmōrî ’ăšer bə‘ēḇer hayyarədēn ləsîḥôn meleḵ ḥešəbôn ûlə‘ôg̱ meleḵ-habbāšān ’ăšer bə‘ašətārôṯ

Josh 9:10 And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth.

wayyō’mərû ’ēlênû zəqênênû wəḵāl-yōšəḇê ’arəṣēnû lē’mōr qəḥû ḇəyeḏəḵem ṣêḏāh laddereḵ ûləḵû liqərā’ṯām wa’ămarətem ’ălêhem ‘aḇəḏêḵem ’ănaḥənû wə‘attāh kirəṯû-lānû ḇərîṯ

Josh 9:11 Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us.

zeh laḥəmēnû ḥām hiṣəṭayyaḏənû ’ōṯô mibbāttênû bəyôm ṣē’ṯēnû lāleḵeṯ ’ălêḵem wə‘attāh hinnēh yāḇēš wəhāyāh niqquḏîm

Josh 9:12 This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:

wə’ēlleh nō’ḏôṯ hayyayin ’ăšer millē’nû ḥăḏāšîm wəhinnēh hiṯəbaqqā‘û wə’ēlleh śaləmôṯênû ûnə‘ālênû bālû mērōḇ haddereḵ mə’ōḏ

Josh 9:13 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.

wayyiqəḥû hā’ănāšîm miṣṣêḏām wə’eṯ-pî yəhwāh lō’ šā’ālû

Josh 9:14 And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD.

wayya‘aś lāhem yəhôšua‘ šālôm wayyiḵərōṯ lāhem bərîṯ ləḥayyôṯām wayyiššāḇə‘û lāhem nəśî’ê hā‘ēḏāh

Josh 9:15 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them.

wayəhî miqəṣēh šəlōšeṯ yāmîm ’aḥărê ’ăšer-kārəṯû lāhem bərîṯ wayyišəmə‘û kî-qərōḇîm hēm ’ēlāyw ûḇəqirəbô hēm yōšəḇîm

Josh 9:16 And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.

wayyisə‘û ḇənê-yiśərā’ēl wayyāḇō’û ’el-‘ārêhem bayyôm haššəlîšî wə‘ārêhem giḇə‘ôn wəhakkəp̱îrāh ûḇə’ērôṯ wəqirəyaṯ yə‘ārîm

Josh 9:17 And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim.

wəlō’ hikkûm bənê yiśərā’ēl kî-nišəbə‘û lāhem nəśî’ê hā‘ēḏāh bayhwāh ’ĕlōhê yiśərā’ēl wayyillōnû ḵāl-hā‘ēḏāh ‘al-hannəśî’îm

Josh 9:18 And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.

wayyō’mərû ḵāl-hannəśî’îm ’el-kāl-hā‘ēḏāh ’ănaḥənû nišəba‘ənû lāhem bayhwāh ’ĕlōhê yiśərā’ēl wə‘attāh lō’ nûḵal linəgōa‘ bāhem

Josh 9:19 But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.

zō’ṯ na‘ăśeh lāhem wəhaḥăyēh ’ôṯām wəlō’-yihəyeh ‘ālênû qeṣep̱ ‘al-haššəḇû‘āh ’ăšer-nišəba‘ənû lāhem

Josh 9:20 This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them.

wayyō’mərû ’ălêhem hannəśî’îm yiḥəyû wayyihəyû ḥōṭəḇê ‘ēṣîm wəšō’ăḇê-mayim ləḵāl-hā‘ēḏāh ka’ăšer dibbərû lāhem hannəśî’îm

Josh 9:21 And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had promised them.

wayyiqərā’ lāhem yəhôšua‘ wayəḏabbēr ’ălêhem lē’mōr lāmmāh rimmîṯem ’ōṯānû lē’mōr rəḥôqîm ’ănaḥənû mikkem mə’ōḏ wə’attem bəqirəbēnû yōšəḇîm

Josh 9:22 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?

wə‘attāh ’ărûrîm ’attem wəlō’-yikkārēṯ mikkem ‘eḇeḏ wəḥōṭəḇê ‘ēṣîm wəšō’ăḇê-mayim ləḇêṯ ’ĕlōhāy

Josh 9:23 Now therefore ye are 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.

Josh 9:24 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.

wə‘attāh hinənû ḇəyāḏeḵā kaṭṭôḇ wəḵayyāšār bə‘êneyḵā la‘ăśôṯ lānû ‘ăśēh

Josh 9:25 And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.

wayya‘aś lāhem kēn wayyaṣṣēl ’ôṯām miyyaḏ bənê-yiśərā’ēl wəlō’ hărāg̱ûm

Josh 9:26 And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.

Josh 9:27 And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.
