Joshua 9:4-6

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴ And therefore they worked craftily. They went, and pretended to be ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their donkeys, and old bottles for wine, both torn and mended,

⁵ and old spotted shoes upon their feet. Also the clothing upon them was old, and all their provision of bread was dried and molded.

⁶ So they came to Joshua, into the camp at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, “We have come from a far country. Now, therefore, make an alliance with us.”
