Joshua 9:24-26

Tree of Life Version

²⁴ So they answered Joshua and said: “It was because your servants were clearly told that Adonai your God had commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land before you. So we were very afraid for our lives because of you, and so we did this. ²⁵ Now behold, we are in your hand. Whatever seems good and right in your eyes to do to us, do.”

²⁶ Thus he did to them, delivering them from the hand of Bnei-Yisrael, so they did not slay them.
