Joshua 9:7Easy To Read VersionThe men of Israel said to these Hivite men, “Maybe you are trying to trick us. Maybe you live near us. We can’t make a peace agreement with you until we know where you are from.” See the chapter |
Now I will go down and save my people from the Egyptians. I will take them from that land. And I will lead them to a good land where they can be free from troubles. [17] It is a land filled with many good things. [18] Many different people live in that land: the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
All the kings west of the Jordan River heard about these things. These were the kings of the Hittite people, the Amorite people, the Canaanite people, the Perizzite people, the Hivite people, and the Jebusite people. They lived in the hill country and in the plains. They also lived along the sea coast of the Mediterranean Sea as far as Lebanon.
