And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that Jehovah thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; therefore we were sore afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

And, answering Joshua, they said, Because it came to the ears of your servants that the Lord your God had given orders to his servant Moses to give you all this land, and to send destruction on all the people living in it, because of you; so, fearing greatly for our lives because of you, we have done this.

Και απεκριθησαν προς τον Ιησουν λεγοντες, Επειδη οι δουλοι σου εμαθον μετα πληροφοριας οσα Κυριος ο Θεος σου διεταξεν εις τον δουλον αυτου Μωυσην, να δωση εις εσας πασαν την γην και να εξολοθρευση εμπροσθεν σας παντας τους κατοικους της γης, δια τουτο εφοβηθημεν απο σας σφοδρα δια την ζωην ημων και εκαμομεν το πραγμα τουτο·
