Joshua 9:22-27

22Then JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 for them and spokeH1696 to them, sayingH559, “WhyH4100 have you deceivedH7411 us, sayingH559, ‘We are veryH3966 farH7350 from you,’ 1when you are livingH3427 2withinH7130 our landH7130?

23NowH6258 therefore, you are 3cursedH779, and 4you shall neverH3808 ceaseH3772 being slavesH5650, both hewersH2404 of woodH2404 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 for the houseH1004 of my GodH430.”

24So they answeredH6030 JoshuaH3091 and saidH559, “5BecauseH3588 it was certainlyH5046 toldH5046 your servantsH5650 that the LordH3068 your GodH430 had commandedH6680 His servantH5650 MosesH4872 to giveH5414 you allH3605 the landH776, and to destroyH8045 allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 beforeH4480H6440 you; therefore we fearedH3372 greatlyH3966 for our livesH5315 becauseH4480H6440 of you, and have doneH6213 thisH2088 thingH1697.

25NowH6258 beholdH2009, 6we are in your handsH3027; doH6213 as it seems goodH2896 and rightH3477 in your sightH5869 to doH6213 to us.”

26ThusH3651 he didH6213 to them, and deliveredH5337 them from the handsH3027 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, and they did not killH2026 them.

27But JoshuaH3091 madeH5414 them that dayH3117 hewersH2404 of woodH2404 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 for the congregationH5712 and for the altarH4196 of the LordH3068, to thisH2088 dayH3117, 7in the placeH4725 whichH834 He would chooseH977.
