Joshua 9:23-25

Jubilee Bible 2000

²³ Now, therefore, ye are cursed, and ye shall always be slaves and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.

²⁴ And they answered Joshua and said, Because it was certainly told thy slaves how the LORD thy God commanded his slave Moses that he was to give you the land and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you; therefore, we feared greatly of our lives because of you and have done this thing.

²⁵ And now, behold, we are in thy hand; as it seems good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.
