Joshua 9:17-21

17And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 journeyedH5265, and cameH935 unto their citiesH5892 on the thirdH7992 dayH3117. Now their citiesH5892 were GibeonH1391, and ChephirahH3716, and BeerothH881, and Kirjath–jearimH7157.

18And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 smoteH5221 them not, because the princesH5387 of the congregationH5712 had swornH7650 unto them by YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478. And all the congregationH5712 murmuredH3885 against the princesH5387.

19But all the princesH5387 saidH559 unto all the congregationH5712, We have swornH7650 unto them by YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478: now therefore we mayH3201 not touchH5060 them.

20This we will doH6213 to them; we will even let them liveH2421, lest wrathH7110 be upon us, because of the oathH7621 which we swareH7650 unto them.

21And the princesH5387 saidH559 unto them, Let them liveH2421; but let them be hewersH2404 of woodH6086 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 unto all the congregationH5712; as the princesH5387 had promisedH1696 them.
