11Our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, Take provision in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them, and tell them, We are your servants: and now make you a covenant with us.
12This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go to you; but now, behold, it is dry, and is become moldy:
13and these wine-skins, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they are torn: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.
14The men took of their provision, and didn`t ask counsel at the mouth of Yahweh.
15Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation swore to them.
16It happened at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were their neighbors, and that they lived among them.
17The children of Israel journeyed, and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.
