Context — The Deception of the Gibeonitesgenerated
Joshua 9:13 describes how the Gibeonites, fearing the Israelites, pretended to be from a distant land by showing worn provisions and cracked wineskins. Their strategy was to gain a peace treaty with Israel. This tactic reflects their desperation and cunning, as they sought to avoid destruction by the Israelites, who were commanded to conquer the land.
Cross References
The Key Word — חֲדָשִׁ֔ים, cha.da.Shimgenerated
The word חֲדָשׁ (chadash) means 'new' or 'fresh.' It is often used to describe something that has recently come into existence or has been renewed. In this verse, it describes the wineskins when they were first filled, emphasizing their original condition before the wear from travel.
The parsing indicates that it is an adjective, which modifies the noun נֹאד֤וֹת (noDot), meaning 'wineskins.' This highlights the contrast between their initial state and their current condition, which is crucial for the Gibeonites' deception.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In the Berean Standard Bible, the word new is used, which is consistent across other translations such as the KJV and ASV.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is מִלֵּ֣אנוּ (we filled), which governs the subject and several phrases describing the condition of the wineskins and clothing. The structure emphasizes the contrast between the past and present states of the items.
The sentence flows with a series of noun phrases that describe the wineskins and clothing, culminating in the verbs that indicate their current state, creating a clear picture of wear and age.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates נֹאד֤וֹת as ἀσκοὶ (askoi), which means 'bottles' or 'skins.' This choice reflects the same concept of containers for liquids, aligning with the Hebrew meaning.
The Greek word καὶ is used for the conjunction 'and,' indicating a straightforward correspondence with the Hebrew structure.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Joshua 9:13 shows how the Gibeonites used worn-out wineskins and clothes to convince the Israelites they had traveled from a faraway land. They claimed their wineskins were new when filled, but now they are cracked, and their clothes and sandals are worn out from a long journey.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

Reflection Questionsgenerated
- What are some ways we might be deceived by appearances in our own lives?
- How can we ensure we are discerning when faced with claims that seem too good to be true?

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

Wine
The common Hebrew word for wine is yayin, from a root meaning “to boil up,” “to be in a ferment.” Others derive it from a root meaning “to tread out,” and hence the juice of the grape trodden out. The Greek word for wine is oinos_, and the Latin _vinun. But besides this common Hebrew word, there are several others which are thus rendered.
(1.) Ashishah (2 Sam. 6:19; 1 Chr. 16:3; Cant. 2:5; Hos. 3:1), which, however, rather denotes a solid cake of pressed grapes, or, as in the Revised Version, a cake of raisins.
(2.) ‘Asis, “sweet wine,” or “new wine,” the product of the same year (Cant. 8:2;
The manufacture of wine is carried back in the Bible to the age of Noah, (Genesis 9:20,21) to whom the discovery of the process is apparently, though not explicitly, attributed. The natural history and culture of the vine are described under a separate head. [VINE] The only other plant whose fruit is noticed as having been converted into wine was the pomegranate. (Solomon 8:2) In Palestine the vintage takes place in September, and is celebrated with great rejoicing. The ripe fruit was gathered in baskets, (Jeremiah 6:9) as represented in Egyptian paintings, and was carried to the wine-press. It was then placed in the upper one of the two vats or receptacles of which the winepress was formed, and was subjected to the process of "treading," which has prevailed in all ages in Oriental…
The vine being natural to the soil of Canaan and its vicinity, wine was much used as a beverage, especially at festivals, Es 1:7 5:6 Da 5:1-4 Joh 2:3. As one of the staple products of the Holy Land, it was employed for drink-offerings in the temple service, Ex 20:26 Nu 15:4-10; it was included among the "first-fruits," De 18:4, and was used in the celebration of the Passover, and subsequently of the Lord’s supper, Mt 26:27-29. Together with corn and oil it denoted all temporal supplies,

Prep | N-cs — Preposition · noun common masculine singular constructHR/Ncmsc
ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

See DAY'S JOURNEY; SABBATH DAY'S JOURNEY.
Journey
(1.) A day’s journey in the East is from 16 to 20 miles (Num. 11:31).
(2.) A Sabbath-day’s journey is 2,000 paces or yards from the city walls (Acts 1:12). According to Jewish tradition, it was the distance one might travel without violating the law of Ex. 16:29. (See SABBATH.)
A "sabbath-day’s journey," among the Jews, seems to have been reckoned at about seven furlongs, or nearly one mile, Mt 24:20 Ac 1:12. An ordinary day’s journey is about twenty miles. Persons starting on a journey in the East frequently make their first stage a short one, that they may the more easily send back for any forgotten articles or necessary supplies. This may perhaps apply to the "day’s journey" of the parents of Jesus, mentioned in Lu 2:44.
For the journeyings of the Israelites, see EXODUS, and WANDERINGS.
