Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Joshua 9:13
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.
And these bottles of wine, which we filled, [were] new,…. That is, on the day they came out on their journey:
and, behold, they be rent; which were owing to the long use that had been made of them, as they pretended:
and these our garments, and our shoes, are become old by reason of the very long journey: quite worn out through length of time and tedious travels. Isidore of Pelusium q thinks these Gibeonites were Cappadocians, of whom he gives a shocking character, and particularly that they were prone to lying and deceit; but his reason for it, that they were of the Philistines, will not hold good.
q L. 1. Ep. 281.
