And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?
Los hombres de Israel dijeron a los heveos: 'Tal vez ustedes viven aquí mismo entre nosotros en la tierra que debemos tomar. ¿Cómo podemos hacer un tratado de paz con ustedes?'
Los israelitas dudaron sobre hacer un tratado con los heveos porque podrían vivir en la tierra que Dios les había dado para conquistar.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Joshua, the Israelites were commanded by God to conquer the Promised Land and avoid making treaties with its inhabitants, as they were in the midst of their military campaigns after victories at Jericho and Ai. The Hivites from Gibeon, fearing destruction, disguised themselves as travelers from a distant land to deceive the Israelites into a peace agreement. When the Israelites grew suspicious that these men might actually be local residents, they questioned the possibility of forming such a league, knowing it would violate God's instructions.
