Joshua 9:4 in Context — Joshua 9
2 Juntaram-se em unidade, de um acordo, para lutar contra Josué e Israel.
3 Mas os moradores de Gibeão, quando ouviram o que Josué havia feito a Jericó e a Ai,
4 Eles usaram também de astúcia; pois foram e fingiram-se embaixadores, e tomaram sacos anciãos sobre seus asnos, e odres anciãos de vinho, rasgados e remendados,
5 E sapatos velhos e remendados em seus pés, com roupas velhas sobre si; e todo aquele pão que traziam para o caminho, seco e mofado.
6 Assim vieram a Josué ao acampamento em Gilgal, e disseram-lhe a ele e aos de Israel: Nós viemos da terra muito distante: fazei, pois, agora conosco aliança.
