And Joshua called for them, and spake unto them, saying,—Wherefore did ye deceive us, saying—We are, very far, from you, whereas, ye, in our midst, are dwelling?
So they took their journey unto Joshua, unto the camp, at Gilgal,—and said unto him, and unto the men of Israel, From a far country, are we come, Now, therefore, solemnise with us a covenant.
And it came to pass, at the end of three days after they had solemnised with them a covenant, that they heard that, near neighbours, they were unto them, and, in their midst, they were dwelling.
And it came to pass in the morning, that lo! it was Leah,—and he said unto Laban, What is this thou hast done to me? Was it not, for Rachel, I served with thee? Wherefore then hast thou deceived me?
But I fear lest, by any means, as, the serpent, completely deceived Eve, in his craftiness, your minds should be corrupted from the singleness and the chasteness which are due unto the Christ.
