Joshua 9:23-27

23Now therefore, you are 1cursed, and 2you will never cease to be slaves, both gatherers of firewood and 3labor to draw water for the house of my God.”

24So they answered Joshua and said, “4Since your servants were fully informed 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, we feared greatly for our lives because of you, and did this thing.

25And now behold, 5we are in your hands; do to us as it seems good and right in your sight to do.”

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

27But on that day Joshua made them gatherers of firewood and 6labor to draw water for the congregation and for the altar of the Lord, to this day, 7in the place which He would choose.
