OET (OET-RV) An Israeli man asked the Hivite (because Gilead was in the Hivite region), “Perhaps you really live near by? How could we make a treaty with you?”

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

9:7a

But the men of Israel said to the Hivites,

But the men of Israel: 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. The phrase men of Israel probably refers to the leaders of the Israelites.

said to the Hivites: The Gibeonites were one part of the “Hivite” nation. God ordered Israel to destroy this nation in 3:10. This group of people was also mentioned in 9:1. You should translate the word Hivites the same way you translated it earlier.

9:7b

“Perhaps you dwell near us. How can we make a treaty with you?”

Perhaps you dwell near us. How can we make a treaty with you?: In Deuteronomy 7:1–7 Yahweh told the Israelites that they must not make any treaties with the people who lived in the land of Canaan. This question shows that the Israelites were suspicious of the Gibeonites’ statement that they came from a far away country. The Israelites wanted to make sure it was true. It may be more natural in some languages to translate this question as a statement. For example:

But maybe you really live near us. We can’t make a peace treaty with you if you live nearby. (CEV)

We(excl) want to know for sure that you(plur) do not live near us. We cannot make a treaty with any one who lives in the land of Canaan.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

אִֽישׁ־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל

(a)_man Yisrael

See how you translated the same expression in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [the leaders of Israel]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

הַ⁠חִוִּ֑י

the=Ḩiūī

The author is not referring to one Hivite. He means the Gibeonite messengers, who were Hivites. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: [these Hivites] or [the Hivites]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

וְ⁠אֵ֖יךְ אֶֽכְרָת־לְ⁠ךָ֥ בְרִֽית

and,how? (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_said (a)_man Yisrael to/towards the=Ḩiūī perhaps in,midst_of,my you(ms) live and,how? make to/for=yourself(m) treaty )

The Israelite leaders are using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [In that case, we could not cut a covenant with you!]

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.
