18 But the Israelites (God prevails) did not attack them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn an oath to them by the LORD, the God {YHWH Elohe} of Israel. And the whole congregation grumbled against the leaders. 19 All the leaders answered, “We have sworn an oath to them by the LORD, the God {YHWH Elohe} of Israel (he wrestles with God), and now we cannot touch them. 20 This is how we will treat them: We will let them live, so that no wrath will fall on us because of the oath we swore to them.” Joshua 9:18-20, Berean Annotated Bible.
