Joshua 9:15-27

And Joshua
<03091>
made
<06213> (8799)
peace
<07965>
with them, and made
<03772> (8799)
a league
<01285>
with them, to let them live
<02421> (8763)_:
and the princes
<05387>
of the congregation
<05712>
sware
<07650> (8735)
unto them.
And it came to pass at the end
<07097>
of three
<07969>
days
<03117>
after
<0310>
they had made
<03772> (8804)
a league
<01285>
with them, that they heard
<08085> (8799)
that they [were] their neighbours
<07138>_,
and [that] they dwelt
<03427> (8802)
among
<07130>
them.
And the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
journeyed
<05265> (8799)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
unto their cities
<05892>
on the third
<07992>
day
<03117>_.
Now their cities
<05892>
[were] Gibeon
<01391>_,
and Chephirah
<03716>_,
and Beeroth
<0881>_,
and Kirjathjearim
<07157>_.
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}
