The inhabitants of Gibeon resort to a ruse and come to the camp at Gilgal

기브온 거민들이 꾀를 내어 사신의 모양을 꾸미고 길갈 진으로 옴

Joshua 9:3–6: when the inhabitants of Gibeon hear what Joshua had done to Jericho and to Ai, they also resort to a ruse, and go and make as if they had been ambassadors: they take old sacks on their donkeys, and old, torn-up and bound up wineskins, and old and patched sandals on their feet, and wear old garments, and all the bread of their food supply is dry and moldy. They go to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, and say to him and to the men of Israel, “We have come from a far country. Now therefore make a covenant with us.”
