We can see several factors in Joshua chapter 9 that Joshua and the people used in coming to the conclusion that they should make a treaty with the Gibeonites. We can call the totality of those factors, just for convenience, an “information complex."
Let’s look at two of those factors this week and three more next week.
- First would be what we call today, “expert opinion”
from witnesses who should know the truth about a situation.
- The
second factor was the Israelites’ own "personal experience" with
similar situations.
What are the details in Joshua 9 that fit in these two categories?
I have asked Latayne Scott to compose these questions for discussion on this important topic. KL
