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.
Por eso nuestros ancianos y toda la gente de nuestra tierra nos dijeron: 'Tomen provisiones para el viaje, y vayan a encontrarlos. Díganles: Somos sus siervos; por favor hagan un pacto con nosotros.'
Los gabaonitas fingieron venir de tierras lejanas para engañar a Israel y conseguir un pacto de paz.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Joshua, the Israelites were in the midst of conquering the Promised Land under God's command, having recently defeated Jericho and Ai. The Gibeonites, who were actually nearby inhabitants of Canaan, feared for their lives and plotted to deceive Joshua by pretending to be ambassadors from a distant nation. They prepared old provisions and clothing to make their story convincing, leading to the events described in this verse where they urged their people to seek a treaty.
