Joshua 9:6-8

New International Version

⁶ Then they went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal^(A) and said to him and the Israelites, “We have come from a distant country;^(B) make a treaty^(C) with us.”

⁷ The Israelites said to the Hivites,^(D) “But perhaps you live near us, so how can we make a treaty^(E) with you?”

⁸ “We are your servants,^(F)” they said to Joshua.

But Joshua asked, “Who are you and where do you come from?”
