6 And they went to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal and said to him and to the men of Israel, “From a distant country we have come, and now make with us a covenant.” 7 And the men of Israel said to the Hivite, “Perhaps among us you are dwelling, and how can I cut with you a covenant?” 8 And they said to Joshua, “We are your servants.” And Joshua said to them, “Who are you?, and from where have you? come?” 9 And they said to him, “Your servants have come from a country very distant, because of the name of YHWH your God. For we have heard of His fame and all that He did in Egypt, 10 and all that He did to the two kings of the Amorite who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan who was at Ashtaroth. 11 And our elders and all those dwelling in our country spoke to us, saying, ‘Take with you? provisions for the journey, and go to meet them and say to them: We are your? servants, and now make with us a covenant.’ Joshua 9:6-11, Berean Literal Bible.
