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 land?

23NowH6258 therefore, you are 3cursedH779, and 4you will neverH3808 ceaseH3772 to be slavesH5650, both gatherersH2404 of firewoodH6086 and 5labor to drawH7579 waterH4325 for the houseH1004 of my GodH430.”

24So they answeredH6030 JoshuaH3091 and saidH559, “6SinceH3588 your servantsH5650 were fullyH5046 informedH5046 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, we fearedH3372 greatlyH3966 for our livesH5315 becauseH4480H6440 of you, and didH6213 thisH2088 thingH1697.

25And nowH6258 beholdH2009, 7we are in your handsH3027; doH6213 to us as it seems goodH2896 and rightH3477 in your sightH5869 to doH6213.”

26ThisH3651 he didH6213 to them, and savedH5337 them from the handsH3027 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, and they did not killH2026 them.

27But on that dayH3117 JoshuaH3091 madeH5414 them gatherersH2404 of firewoodH6086 and 8labor to drawH7579 waterH4325 for the congregationH5712 and for the altarH4196 of the LordH3068, to thisH2088 dayH3117, 9in the placeH4725 whichH834 He would chooseH977.
