Joshua 9:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ The Israelites said to the Hivites, “Maybe you actually live among us, how could we make a covenant with you?” ⁸ They then said to Joshua, “We are your servants.” Joshua said to them, “Who are you, and where do you come from?” ⁹ They said to him, “We, your servants, come from a very distant land because of the name of the Lord, your God. We have heard reports about him and everything that he did in Egypt
