• Newari: “Then they replied to Joshua, "We were told that the LORD your God had given the command to His servant Moses to give this whole land to you and to destroy all the people of this land. So we were very much afraid of you. For that reason, we have acted like this.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “They replied to Josue, ‘We (excl.) did this because we (excl.) (were) afraid that maybe you (plur.) would-kill us (excl.). For we (excl.) really heard that the LORD your (sing.) God commanded Moises his servant to-give to you (plur.) this land and to-kill all who live here.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “The men from Gibeon replied, ‘We lied to you because we were afraid that you would kill us. We heard that Yahweh, your God, declared to his servant Moses that he would enable you to conquer all the people in this land and to kill all the people who lived in it.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
