OET (OET-RV) They found worn-out sandals that had been patched, and wore worn-out clothes. All the food that they took for the journey was already dry and disintegrating into crumbs.

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

9:5a

They put worn, patched sandals on their feet and threadbare clothing on their bodies,

They put worn, patched sandals on their feet and threadbare clothing on their bodies: It may be more natural in some languages to translate this as an independent sentence. For example:

They put on ragged clothes and worn-out sandals that had been mended (GNT)

The men put worn and patched sandals on their feet and wore old clothes (NIV)

9:5b

and their whole supply of bread was dry and moldy.

and their whole supply of bread was dry and moldy: The phrase their whole supply of bread refers to the bread they took with them to eat.

moldy: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as moldy is rarely used. Bible scholars and the English versions disagree about its meaning.

  1. It means crumbly or hard rather than moldy. This seems likely because mold requires moisture for growth, and the climate in Palestine is very dry.9:5 Howard, p. 223. For example:

    And all their provisions were dry and crumbly. (ESV) (ESV, GW, NAB, NASB, NET, NJB, NJPS, REB, CEV)

  2. It means moldy. For example:

    All the bread of their food supply was dry and moldy. (NIV) (BSB, NIV, RSV, NCV, NLT, GNT)

It is difficult to know the meaning of this word because it is rare. It occurs only three times in the Old Testament (Joshua 9:5, 12, and I Kings 13:4). Both options are used by English versions. Even though Palestine generally had a dry climate, there was also a wet season and old bread could get moldy. Either option is acceptable.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

נִקֻּדִֽים

crumbled

This word could mean (1) crumbs, as in the ULT, here and in [9:12](../09/12.md). (2) moldy. Alternate translation: [moldy]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
