Joshua 9:22-27

22And JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 for them, and he spakeH1696 unto them, sayingH559, Wherefore have ye beguiledH7411 us, sayingH559, We are veryH3966 farH7350 from you; when ye dwellH3427 amongH7130 us? 23Now therefore ye are cursedH779, and there shall none of you be freedH3772 from being bondmenH5650, and hewersH2404 of woodH6086 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 for the houseH1004 of my GodH430.1 24And they answeredH6030 JoshuaH3091, and saidH559, Because it was certainlyH5046 toldH5046 thy servantsH5650, how that YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 commandedH6680 his servantH5650 MosesH4872 to giveH5414 you all the landH776, and to destroyH8045 all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 from beforeH6440 you, therefore we were soreH3966 afraidH3372 of our livesH5315 becauseH6440 of you, and have doneH6213 this thingH1697. 25And now, behold, weH2009 are in thine handH3027: as it seemethH5869 goodH2896 and rightH3477 unto thee to doH6213 unto us, doH6213. 26And so didH6213 he unto them, and deliveredH5337 them out of the handH3027 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, that they slewH2026 them not. 27And JoshuaH3091 madeH5414 them that dayH3117 hewersH2404 of woodH6086 and drawersH7579 of waterH4325 for the congregationH5712, and for the altarH4196 of YhwhH3068, even unto this dayH3117, in the placeH4725 which he should chooseH977.2
