OET (OET-RV) They went to Yehoshua in the camp at Gilgal and told him, “We’ve come from a far-off land and want you to make a treaty with us.”

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

9:6a

They went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal

They went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: After the Gibeonite men got their things together, they traveled to the Israelite camp at Gilgal to talk to Joshua.

Gilgal: Gilgal was first mentioned in 4:19. You should translate it the same way you did there.

9:6b

and said to him and the men of Israel,

and said to him and the men of Israel: The Gibeonite men met with Joshua and the Israelites. The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as men of Israel is more literally “man of Israel.” This is a collective term that is frequently used for the Israelite army.9:6 Howard, p. 224. The phrase men of Israel probably refers to the leaders of the Israelites, rather than to all the male Israelites.

9:6c

“We have come from a distant land; please make a treaty with us.”

We have come from a distant land: The Gibeonites claimed that they had traveled a long distance and lived far away from the land of Canaan.

We: The word We is exclusive. It refers to the Gibeonites and not to the Israelites.

please make a treaty with us: The clause make a treaty with us is a request for the Israelites to make a treaty or agreement of friendship with them. A treaty is a formal agreement between two people or groups of people.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

אִ֣ישׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל

(a)_man Yisrael

The author is not referring to a specific man. He means the men of Israel in general and, as verses 15 and 18–21 indicate, most likely the leaders of Israel. Alternate translation: [the leaders of Israel]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠עַתָּ֖ה

and=now

See how you translated in [1:2](../01/02.md) this expression that people of this time used to introduce the main business of a message.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כִּרְתוּ־לָ֥⁠נוּ בְרִֽית

make to/for=us treaty

See the discussion of this phrase in the Introduction to this chapter. Alternate translation: [make a covenant with us]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

9:1-27 Joshua once again failed to consult God (9:14; cp. 7:2-4), this time over an unexpected request. Other ancient Near Eastern accounts tell only of a leader’s triumphs; this author also recorded the shortcomings of Joshua and Israel’s elders. The real hero of the story is God, whose accomplishments the author wished to tell.
