 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLEJoshua:9 Biblia Hebraica (Stuttgartensia) | BHS (pdf - 3.5mb)  

1 When all the kings who were beyond the Jordan in the hill country and in the lowland all along the coast of the Great Sea toward Lebanon, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, heard of this, The stratagem of the Gibeonites. Jos.9.1-27וַיְהִי כִשְׁמֹעַ כָּל־הַמְּלָכִים אֲשֶׁר בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן בָּהָר וּבַשְּׁפֵלָה וּבְכֹל חֹוף הַיָּם הַגָּדֹול אֶל־מוּל הַלְּבָנֹון הַחִתִּי וְהָאֱמֹרִי הַכְּנַעֲנִי הַפְּרִזִּי הַחִוִּי וְהַיְבוּסִי׃
2 they gathered together with one accord to fight Joshua and Israel.  וַיִּתְקַבְּצוּ יַחְדָּו לְהִלָּחֵם עִם־יְהֹושֻׁעַ וְעִם־יִשְׂרָאֵל פֶּה אֶחָד׃ ף
3 But when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai,  וְיֹשְׁבֵי גִבְעֹון שָׁמְעוּ אֵת אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה יְהֹושֻׁעַ לִירִיחֹו וְלָעָי׃
4 they on their part acted with cunning, and went and made ready provisions, and took worn-out sacks upon their asses, and wineskins, worn-out and torn and mended,  וַיַּעֲשׂוּ גַם־הֵמָּה בְּעָרְמָה וַיֵּלְכוּ וַיִּצְטַיָּרוּ וַיִּקְחוּ שַׂקִּים בָּלִים לַחֲמֹורֵיהֶם וְנֹאדֹות יַיִן בָּלִים וּמְבֻקָּעִים וּמְצֹרָרִים׃
5 with worn-out, patched sandals on their feet, and worn-out clothes; and all their provisions were dry and moldy.  וּנְעָלֹות בָּלֹות וּמְטֻלָּאֹות בְּרַגְלֵיהֶם וּשְׂלָמֹות בָּלֹות עֲלֵיהֶם וְכֹל לֶחֶם צֵידָם יָבֵשׁ הָיָה נִקֻּדִים׃
6 And they went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, "We have come from a far country; so now make a covenant with us."  וַיֵּלְכוּ אֶל־יְהֹושֻׁעַ אֶל־הַמַּחֲנֶה הַגִּלְגָּל וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו וְאֶל־אִישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל מֵאֶרֶץ רְחֹוקָה בָּאנוּ וְעַתָּה כִּרְתוּ־לָנוּ בְרִית׃
7 But the men of Israel said to the Hivites, "Perhaps you live among us; then how can we make a covenant with you?"  [כ= וַיֹּאמְרוּ] [ק= וַיֹּאמֶר] אִישׁ־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־הַחִוִּי אוּלַי בְּקִרְבִּי אַתָּה יֹושֵׁב וְאֵיךְ [כ= אֶכְרֹות] [ק= אֶכְרָת]־לְךָ בְרִית׃
8 They said to Joshua, "We are your servants." And Joshua said to them, "Who are you? And where do you come from?"  וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֶל־יְהֹושֻׁעַ עֲבָדֶיךָ אֲנָחְנוּ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם יְהֹושֻׁעַ מִי אַתֶּם וּמֵאַיִן תָּבֹאוּ׃
9 They said to him, "From a very far country your servants have come, because of the name of Yahweh your God; for we have heard a report of him, and all that he did in Egypt,  וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו מֵאֶרֶץ רְחֹוקָה מְאֹד בָּאוּ עֲבָדֶיךָ לְשֵׁם יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ כִּי־שָׁמַעְנוּ שָׁמְעֹו וְאֵת כָּל־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה בְּמִצְרָיִם׃
10 and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ashtaroth.  וְאֵת כָּל־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לִשְׁנֵי מַלְכֵי הָאֱמֹרִי אֲשֶׁר בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן לְסִיחֹון מֶלֶךְ חֶשְׁבֹּון וּלְעֹוג מֶלֶךְ־הַבָּשָׁן אֲשֶׁר בְּעַשְׁתָּרֹות׃
11 And our elders and all the inhabitants of our country said to us, 'Take provisions in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, "We are your servants; come now, make a covenant with us." '  וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלֵינוּ זְקֵינֵינוּ וְכָל־יֹשְׁבֵי אַרְצֵנוּ לֵאמֹר קְחוּ בְיֶדְכֶם צֵידָה לַדֶּרֶךְ וּלְכוּ לִקְרָאתָם וַאֲמַרְתֶּם אֲלֵיהֶם עַבְדֵיכֶם אֲנַחְנוּ וְעַתָּה כִּרְתוּ־לָנוּ בְרִית׃
12 Here is our bread; it was still warm when we took it from our houses as our food for the journey, on the day we set forth to come to you, but now, behold, it is dry and moldy;  זֶה לַחְמֵנוּ חָם הִצְטַיַּדְנוּ אֹתֹו מִבָּתֵּינוּ בְּיֹום צֵאתֵנוּ לָלֶכֶת אֲלֵיכֶם וְעַתָּה הִנֵּה יָבֵשׁ וְהָיָה נִקֻּדִים׃
13 these wineskins were new when we filled them, and behold, they are burst; and these garments and shoes of ours are worn out from the very long journey."  וְאֵלֶּה נֹאדֹות הַיַּיִן אֲשֶׁר מִלֵּאנוּ חֲדָשִׁים וְהִנֵּה הִתְבַּקָּעוּ וְאֵלֶּה שַׂלְמֹותֵינוּ וּנְעָלֵינוּ בָּלוּ מֵרֹב הַדֶּרֶךְ מְאֹד׃
14 So the men partook of their provisions, and did not ask direction from Yahweh.  וַיִּקְחוּ הָאֲנָשִׁים מִצֵּידָם וְאֶת־פִּי יְהוָה לֹא שָׁאָלוּ׃
15 And Joshua made peace with them, and made a covenant with them, to let them live; and the leaders of the congregation swore to them.  וַיַּעַשׂ לָהֶם יְהֹושֻׁעַ שָׁלֹום וַיִּכְרֹת לָהֶם בְּרִית לְחַיֹּותָם וַיִּשָּׁבְעוּ לָהֶם נְשִׂיאֵי הָעֵדָה׃
16 At the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.  וַיְהִי מִקְצֵה שְׁלֹשֶׁת יָמִים אַחֲרֵי אֲשֶׁר־כָּרְתוּ לָהֶם בְּרִית וַיִּשְׁמְעוּ כִּי־קְרֹבִים הֵם אֵלָיו וּבְקִרְבֹּו הֵם יֹשְׁבִים׃
17 And the people of Israel set out and reached their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.  וַיִּסְעוּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל־עָרֵיהֶם בַּיֹּום הַשְּׁלִישִׁי וְעָרֵיהֶם גִּבְעֹון וְהַכְּפִירָה וּבְאֵרֹות וְקִרְיַת יְעָרִים׃
18 But the people of Israel did not kill them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by Yahweh, the God of Israel. Then all the congregation murmured against the leaders.  וְלֹא הִכּוּם בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל כִּי־נִשְׁבְּעוּ לָהֶם נְשִׂיאֵי הָעֵדָה בַּיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיִּלֹּנוּ כָל־הָעֵדָה עַל־הַנְּשִׂיאִים׃
19 But all the leaders said to all the congregation, "We have sworn to them by Yahweh, the God of Israel, and now we may not touch them.  וַיֹּאמְרוּ כָל־הַנְּשִׂיאִים אֶל־כָּל־הָעֵדָה אֲנַחְנוּ נִשְׁבַּעְנוּ לָהֶם בַּיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעַתָּה לֹא נוּכַל לִנְגֹּעַ בָּהֶם׃
20 This we will do to them, and let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we swore to them."  זֹאת נַעֲשֶׂה לָהֶם וְהַחֲיֵה אֹותָם וְלֹא־יִהְיֶה עָלֵינוּ קֶצֶף עַל־הַשְּׁבוּעָה אֲשֶׁר־נִשְׁבַּעְנוּ לָהֶם׃
21 And the leaders said to them, "Let them live." So they became hewers of wood and drawers of water for all the congregation, as the leaders had said of them.  וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֲלֵיהֶם הַנְּשִׂיאִים יִחְיוּ וַיִּהְיוּ חֹטְבֵי עֵצִים וְשֹׁאֲבֵי־מַיִם לְכָל־הָעֵדָה כַּאֲשֶׁר דִּבְּרוּ לָהֶם הַנְּשִׂיאִים׃
22 JOSHUA summoned them, and he said to them, "Why did you deceive us, saying, 'We are very far from you,' when you dwell among us?  וַיִּקְרָא לָהֶם יְהֹושֻׁעַ וַיְדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם לֵאמֹר לָמָּה רִמִּיתֶם אֹתָנוּ לֵאמֹר רְחֹוקִים אֲנַחְנוּ םִכֶּם מְאֹד וְאַתֶּם בְּקִרְבֵּנוּ יֹשְׁבִים׃
23 Now therefore you are cursed, and some of you shall always be slaves, hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God."  וְעַתָּה אֲרוּרִים אַתֶּם וְלֹא־יִכָּרֵת םִכֶּם עֶבֶד וְחֹטְבֵי עֵצִים וְשֹׁאֲבֵי־מַיִם לְבֵית אֱלֹהָי׃
24 They answered Joshua, "Because it was told to your servants for a certainty that Yahweh your God had commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; so we feared greatly for our lives because of you, and did this thing.  וַיַּעֲנוּ אֶת־יְהֹושֻׁעַ וַיֹּאמְרוּ כִּי הֻגֵּד הֻגַּד לַעֲבָדֶיךָ אֵת אֲשֶׁר צִוָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֶת־מֹשֶׁה עַבְדֹּו לָתֵת לָכֶם אֶת־כָּל־הָאָרֶץ וּלְהַשְׁמִיד אֶת־כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵי הָאָרֶץ מִפְּנֵיכֶם וַנִּירָא מְאֹד לְנַפְשֹׁתֵינוּ מִפְּנֵיכֶם וַנַּעֲשֵׂה אֶת־הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה׃
25 And now, behold, we are in your hand: do as it seems good and right in your sight to do to us."  וְעַתָּה הִנְנוּ בְיָדֶךָ כַּטֹּוב וְכַיָּשָׁר בְּעֵינֶיךָ לַעֲשֹׂות לָנוּ עֲשֵׂה׃
26 So he did to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the people of Israel; and they did not kill them.  וַיַּעַשׂ לָהֶם כֵּן וַיַּצֵּל אֹותָם מִיַּד בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹא הֲרָגוּם׃
27 But Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of Yahweh, to continue to this day, in the place which he should choose.  וַיִּתְּנֵם יְהֹושֻׁעַ בַּיֹּום הַהוּא חֹטְבֵי עֵצִים וְשֹׁאֲבֵי מַיִם לָעֵדָה וּלְמִזְבַּח יְהוָה עַד־הַיֹּום הַזֶּה אֶל־הַמָּקֹום אֲשֶׁר יִבְחָר׃ ף

Notes: This webpage enables you to select-a-version from the Bible versions held on the katapi bible database.
The katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE is a very light revision of the RSV. The changes are: (1) In places where 'the LORD', 'O LORD' occurs in the RSV, (it represents the tetragrammaton - YHWH - which is in the hebrew text), I have printed 'YHWH' in black. The later vowel sounds I have shown in the colour gray;
(2) I have removed the quotation marks and hyphens that were used in so many names in the RSV as an aid to correct pronunciation. This now brings it in line with all other English versions, and makes any word-search more accurate.
(3) I have changed all (I hope!) of the RSV archaic language sections to modern.

The katapi New Study Bible reference section displays links to parallel passages, and to direct quotations by New Testament authors to Old Testament passages. Quotations of OT passages by NT authors can in most cases be viewed within their context of the OT passage as a whole, with the quoted text displayed, against a subdued background.
