Joshua 9:19-21

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁹ But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel; therefore, now we may not touch them.

²⁰ This we will do to them; we will let them live lest wrath come upon us because of the oath which we swore unto them.

²¹ And the princes said unto them, Let them live but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation, as the princes had said unto them.
