📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Joshua, the Israelites were in the process of conquering the Promised Land after their exodus from Egypt, following God's commands to drive out the inhabitants. The Gibeonites, who were part of the local Canaanite groups, deceived Joshua and the Israelite leaders by pretending to be from a distant land, leading them to make a peace treaty without consulting God. This event highlights the cultural practice of forming alliances through oaths, which were binding in ancient Near Eastern societies.
