شرح للأطفال
Imagine you play a game with your friend and trick them, but then you feel really bad and tell them, 'You know what? I messed up. You can decide what happens next because I trust you to make the right choice.' That's what the Gibeonites are doing here with Joshua.
السياق التاريخي
The book of Joshua was likely written by Joshua himself or one of his contemporaries shortly after the events described. It was written for the Israelites who had just entered the Promised Land, detailing their conquests and the challenges they faced, including the deceit of the Gibeonites.
