Joshua 9:18-27

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

smote
<05221> (8689)

them not, because the princes
<05387>

of the congregation
<05712>

had sworn
<07650> (8738)

unto them by the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_.

And all the congregation
<05712>

murmured
<03885> (8735)

against the princes
<05387>_.

But all the princes
<05387>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto all the congregation
<05712>_,

We have sworn
<07650> (8738)

unto them by the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_:

now therefore we may
<03201> (8799)

not touch
<05060> (8800)

them.

This we will do
<06213> (8799)

to them; we will even let them live
<02421> (8687)_,

lest wrath
<07110>

be upon us, because of the oath
<07621>

which we sware
<07650> (8738)

unto them.

And the princes
<05387>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Let them live
<02421> (8799)_;

but let them be hewers
<02404> (8802)

of wood
<06086>

and drawers
<07579> (8802)

of water
<04325>

unto all the congregation
<05712>_;

as the princes
<05387>

had promised
<01696> (8765)

them.

And Joshua
<03091>

called
<07121> (8799)

for them, and he spake
<01696> (8762)

unto them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Wherefore have ye beguiled
<07411> (8765)

us, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

We [are] very
<03966>

far
<07350>

from you; when ye dwell
<03427> (8802)

among
<07130>

us?

Now therefore ye [are] cursed
<0779> (8803)_,

and there shall none of you be freed
<03772> (8735)

from being bondmen
<05650>_,

and hewers
<02404> (8802)

of wood
<06086>

and drawers
<07579> (8802)

of water
<04325>

for the house
<01004>

of my God
<0430>_.

{none...: Heb. not be cut off from you}

And they answered
<06030> (8799)

Joshua
<03091>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Because it was certainly
<05046> (8715)

told
<05046> (8717)

thy servants
<05650>_,

how that the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

his servant
<05650>

Moses
<04872>

to give
<05414> (8800)

you all the land
<0776>_,

and to destroy
<08045> (8687)

all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>

from before
<06440>

you, therefore we were sore
<03966>

afraid
<03372> (8799)

of our lives
<05315>

because
<06440>

of you, and have done
<06213> (8799)

this thing
<01697>_.

And now, behold, we
<02009>

[are] in thine hand
<03027>_:

as it seemeth
<05869>

good
<02896>

and right
<03477>

unto thee to do
<06213> (8800)

unto us, do
<06213> (8798)_.

And so did
<06213> (8799)

he unto them, and delivered
<05337> (8686)

them out of the hand
<03027>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

that they slew
<02026> (8804)

them not.

And Joshua
<03091>

made
<05414> (8799)

them that day
<03117>

hewers
<02404> (8802)

of wood
<06086>

and drawers
<07579> (8802)

of water
<04325>

for the congregation
<05712>_,

and for the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

even unto this day
<03117>_,

in the place
<04725>

which he should choose
<0977> (8799)_.

{made: Heb. gave, or, delivered to be}
