Joshua 9:22-27

22Then JoshuaH3091 summonedH7121 the Gibeonites and saidH1696, “WhyH4100 did you deceiveH7411 usH853H559 by telling usH559 you live far awayH7350H3966 from usH587, when in fact youH859 liveH3427 among usH7130? 23Now thereforeH6258 youH859 are under a curseH779 and will perpetuallyH3808H3772 serveH5650 as woodcuttersH2404H6086 and waterH4325 carriersH7579 for the houseH1004 of my GodH430.”

24The Gibeonites answeredH6030, “Your servantsH5650 were told clearlyH5046 thatH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 had commandedH6680 His servantH5650 MosesH4872 to giveH5414 you allH3605 the landH776 and wipe outH8045 allH3605 its inhabitantsH3427H776 before youH6440. So we greatlyH3966 fearedH3372 for our livesH5315 because of youH6440, and that is why we have doneH6213 thisH2088. 25NowH6258H2005 we are in your handsH3027. DoH6213 to us whatever seemsH5869 goodH2896 and rightH3477 to you.”

26SoH3651 Joshua did thisH6213 and deliveredH5337 themH853 from the handsH3027 of the IsraelitesH1121H3478, and they did notH3808 killH2026 the Gibeonites. 27On thatH1931 dayH3117 heH3091 made themH5414 woodcuttersH2404H6086 and waterH4325 carriersH7579, as they are to this dayH5704H3117H2088 for the congregationH5712 of the LORDH3068 and for the altarH4196 atH413 the placeH4725 He would chooseH977.
