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

9:9a

“Your servants have come from a very distant land,” they replied,

Your servants have come from a very distant land: The Gibeonites lied to Joshua so that they could make a treaty with the Israelites. The phrase from a very distant land is placed at the beginning of the sentence in the Hebrew text to emphasize it. If a location phrase at the beginning of the sentence is not natural, you should use some other means in your language to show this emphasis.

they replied: In some languages it may be more natural to translate the word replied as “answered.”

9:9b

“because of the fame of the LORD your God.

because of the fame of the LORD your God: The phrase the fame of the LORD your God refers to the reputation, or name, that Yahweh had because of the miracles he did for the Israelites. He made it possible for them to leave Egypt and then to defeat the kings of the Amorites.

9:9c

For we have heard the reports about Him: all that He did in Egypt,

For we have heard the reports about Him: The clause we have heard the reports about Him indicates that the news about Yahweh had spread among the people in the surrounding area.

all that He did in Egypt: The clause all that He did in Egypt indicates that the Gibeonites heard about the miracles Yahweh did when he helped the Israelites escape from Egypt. These events are described in Exodus chapters 5–14.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

מֵ⁠אֶ֨רֶץ רְחוֹקָ֤ה מְאֹד֙ בָּ֣אוּ עֲבָדֶ֔י⁠ךָ לְ⁠שֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֑י⁠ךָ

from,a_land far very they_went your=servants to,the_name_of YHWH God_of,your

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Because of the name of Yahweh your God, your servants have come from a very distant land]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

עֲבָדֶ֔י⁠ךָ

your=servants

To show respect to Joshua, the Gibeonites are speaking about themselves in the third person. They are not assuming that he has already agreed to let them serve him as their ruler. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [We, your servants]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠שֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה

to,the_name_of YHWH

Here, as in [7:9](../07/09.md), Yahweh’s name represents his reputation. Alternate translation: [because of the reputation of Yahweh]

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.
