Dessa vinläglar, som voro nya, när vi fyllde dem, se, de äro nu sönderspruckna. Och dessa kläder och skor som vi hava på oss hava blivit utslitna under vår mycket långa resa.»

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.
