Joshua 9:3-5
New Life Version
3 The people of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai. 4 So they went out to fool him, as men from another land. They took old bags on their donkeys, and skin bags of wine that were old and torn and mended. 5 They wore old and mended shoes on their feet, and old clothes on themselves. All their bread was dry and broken.

Joshua 9:3-5
New International Version
3 However, when the people of Gibeon(A) heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,(B) 4 they resorted to a ruse: They went as a delegation whose donkeys were loaded[a] with worn-out sacks and old wineskins, cracked and mended. 5 They put worn and patched sandals on their feet and wore old clothes. All the bread of their food supply was dry and moldy.
