light_n and_o discovery_n of_o it_o because_o he_o do_v not_o advise_v with_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o seven_o verse_n say_v the_o man_n of_o israel_n to_o the_o hivites_n peradventure_o you_o dwell_v among_o we_o and_o how_o shall_v we_o make_v league_n with_o you_o here_o the_o israelite_n do_v guess_v aright_o it_o be_v pass_v a_o peradventure_o for_o they_o do_v live_v among_o they_o and_o therefore_o can_v not_o make_v a_o league_n with_o they_o how_o right_o do_v they_o hi●_n how_o true_a be_v their_o conjecture_n now_o the_o lock_n of_o opportunity_n be_v before_o they_o they_o may_v
