'Treaty' in the Bible

They came to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal and said to him and the men of Israel, "We have come from a distant land. Make a treaty with us."

The men of Israel said to the Hivites, "Perhaps you live near us. So how can we make a treaty with you?"

Our leaders and all who live in our land told us, 'Take provisions for your journey and go meet them. Tell them, "We are willing to be your subjects. Make a treaty with us."'

Joshua made a peace treaty with them and agreed to let them live. The leaders of the community sealed it with an oath.

Three days after they made the treaty with them, the Israelites found out they were from the local area and lived nearby.
