Joshua 9:23-25

The Voice

²³ Your lie comes with a curse. You will live, but you will always be our slaves, carrying our water and chopping wood for the sanctuary of my True God from now on.

Gibeonite Leaders (to Joshua): ²⁴ We knew for a fact that the Eternal One, your True God, had told His servant Moses that He would give you all of this land and that you would destroy all of the people in it. We were so afraid of you that this seemed the best thing to do. ²⁵ But now we are in your hands. Do to us what seems fair and just to you, and we will accept it.
