SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:1–27 The Gibeonites deceived the Israelites

The Gibeonite people lived near Ai. When they heard that Joshua had defeated Ai, they were afraid that he would conquer and kill them too. So, they sent messengers who pretended they had come from a long distance away. They deceived the Israelites and made a treaty of friendship with them.

Later, the Israelites learned that the Gibeonites lied to them, and that they lived quite close to them. They could not kill them because of the treaty, so they made them be water carriers and woodcutters for the Israelites.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The people of Gibeon

The Gibeon people tricked the Israelites and made a treaty with them

9:25a

Now we are in your hands.

Now: The word Now calls attention to what the Gibeonites said next. It is a way to emphasize it. Use whatever means is natural to show this emphasis.

we are in your hands: The clause we are in your hands is an idiom. It indicates that the Gibeonites know the Israelites are stronger than them and can do whatever they want to them.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

we are in your power (NET)

you are strong enough to do anything to us that you want (CEV)

9:25b

Do to us whatever seems good and right to you.”

Do to us whatever seems good and right to you: The phrase Do to us whatever seems good and right to you indicates that the Gibeonites asked the Israelites to treat them in whatever way seemed just to the Israelites.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

do to us what you think is good and appropriate (NET)

do to us whatever you think is right (NLT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠עַתָּ֖ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=now here,we [are]_in,hand_of,your according,the_good and,according,the_right in,eyes_of,your for=doing to/for=us make/work/create/deal )

See how you translated the same expression in [Joshua 9:23](../09/23.md).

Note 2 topic: writing-politeness

הִנְ⁠נ֣וּ

here,we

The Gibeonite men are responding with the courteous expression that a person in this culture would use to tell a superior that he was ready and willing to submit and obey. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [here we are]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְ⁠יָדֶ֑⁠ךָ

[are]_in,hand_of,your

Here, the hand represents the power or control that a person has over someone or something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [in your control] or [under your control]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

כַּ⁠טּ֨וֹב וְ⁠כַ⁠יָּשָׁ֧ר

(Some words not found in UHB: and=now here,we [are]_in,hand_of,your according,the_good and,according,the_right in,eyes_of,your for=doing to/for=us make/work/create/deal )

The terms good and right mean similar things. The author is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [as is most appropriate]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בְּ⁠עֵינֶ֛י⁠ךָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=now here,we [are]_in,hand_of,your according,the_good and,according,the_right in,eyes_of,your for=doing to/for=us make/work/create/deal )

The Gibeonites are using the common expression of their culture, in the eyes of to mean “in the judgment of” or “in the opinion of.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [in your opinion] or [in your judgment]
