Joshua 9:23-27

23Now therefore, you are 1cursed, and 2you shall never cease being slaves, both hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.”

24So they answered Joshua and said, “3Because it was certainly told your servants that the Lord your God had commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land before you; therefore we feared greatly for our lives because of you, and have done this thing.

25Now behold, 4we are in your hands; do as it seems good and right in your sight to do to us.”

26Thus he did to them, and delivered them from the hands of the sons of Israel, and they did not kill them.

27But Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of the Lord, to this day, 5in the place which He would choose.
