Joshua 9:12-15 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

12. See this dry, crumbly bread of ours? It was hot out of the oven when we packed the food on the day we left our homes.

13. These cracked wineskins were new when we filled them, and our clothes and sandals are worn out because we have travelled so far.

14. The Israelites tried some of the food, but they did not ask the Lord if he wanted them to make a treaty.

15. So Joshua made a peace treaty with the messengers and promised that Israel would not kill their people. Israel's leaders swore that Israel would keep this promise.
