And these bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 9 of Joshua. The Gibeonites repeat their story, and Joshua eventually makes peace with them. The text explicitly states that the Israelites did not consult the Lord before making the decision. The alliance is bound by an oath, which will later prevent Israel from simply annulling it. The episode does not present deception as virtuous, but as a situation Israel should have avoided through discernment and consultation with God.

und diese Weinschläuche füllten wir neu, und siehe, sie sind zerrissen; und diese unsre Kleider und Schuhe sind alt geworden über der sehr langen Reise.
Estos cueros de vino también los henchimos nuevos; helos aquí ya rotos: también estos nuestros vestidos y nuestros zapatos están ya viejos a causa de lo muy largo del camino.
Estos odres de vino estaban nuevos cuando los llenamos, y ahora, mírenlos, están rotos. Estas ropas nuestras y nuestras sandalias se han gastado de tan largo viaje».
Ces outres à vin, que nous avons remplies toutes neuves, les voilà déchirées; nos vêtements et nos souliers se sont usés par l'excessive longueur de la marche.
e questi sono gli otri del vino, i quali noi empiemmo tutti nuovi; ed ecco, sono schiantati; e questi nostri vestimenti, e i nostri calzamenti, si son logorati per lo molto lungo viaggio.
E estes odres, que enchemos de vinho, eram novos, e ei-los aqui já rotos; e estas nossas roupas e nossos sapatos já se têm envelhecido, por causa do mui longo caminho.
這些皮酒袋,我們盛酒的時候還是新的;看哪,現在已經破裂了。我們這些衣服和鞋,因為路途非常遙遠,也都穿舊了。」
