Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁹ Then all the leaders said to the whole congregation, “We have sworn to them by Yahweh, the God of Israel, so now we cannot touch them. ²⁰ This we will do to them, even let them live, so that wrath will not be upon us for the oath which we swore to them.” ²¹ So the leaders said to them, “Let them live.” Thus they became ^(A)hewers of wood and drawers of water for the whole congregation, just as the leaders had spoken to them.
