Joshua 9:4
| ← Joshua 9:3 | Joshua 9:4 (KJV) | Joshua 9:5 → |
|---|---|---|
And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,
|
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;
|
And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry [and] mouldy.
