They went to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal and said to him and to the men of Israel, "We have come from a far country; now therefore, make a covenant with us."
The men of Israel said to the Hivites, "Perhaps you are living within our land; how then shall we make a covenant with you?"
But they said to Joshua, "We are your servants." Then Joshua said to them, "Who are you and where do you come from?"
They said to him, "Your servants have come from a very far country because of the fame of the LORD your God; for we have heard the report of Him and all that He did in Egypt,

"So our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, 'Take provisions in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them and say to them, "We are your servants; now then, make a covenant with us."'
