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
The Gibeonites were inhabitants of Canaan who had heard about Israel's victories and God's promise to give them the land. They deceived Joshua and the Israelites by pretending to be from a distant country to make a peace treaty, knowing that Israel had been commanded to destroy all the Canaanite peoples. When their deception was discovered, they were explaining their desperate motivation.
