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.
Ellos respondieron a Josué, diciendo: 'Nos dijeron claramente que el SEÑOR tu Dios mandó a su siervo Moisés que les diera toda esta tierra y que destruyera a todos los pueblos que viven aquí. Tuvimos mucho miedo por nuestras vidas a causa de ustedes, por eso hicimos esto.'
Los gabaonitas confesaron que mintieron porque tenían miedo de ser destruidos según el mandato de Dios a Moisés.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Joshua, the Israelites were carrying out God's command to Moses by conquering the Promised Land and destroying its inhabitants as part of their divine inheritance. The Gibeonites, who were local Canaanite people, learned of these conquests and became terrified of being wiped out, so they devised a plan to deceive Joshua and the Israelites into making a peace treaty by pretending to come from a distant land. This event reflects the widespread fear among the Canaanites as they witnessed the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel through military victories.
