Yehoshua 9:23-25

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²³ Now therefore ye are arurim, and there shall none of you be yikaret (be cut off) from being eved, and woodcutters and water carriers for the Bais Elohai.

²⁴ And they answered Yehoshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy avadim, how that Hashem Eloheicha commanded His Eved Moshe to give you kol HaAretz, and to destroy all the inhabitants of HaAretz from before you, therefore we were greatly afraid for nafshoteinu because of you, so we have done this thing.

²⁵ And now, behold, we are in thine yad; as it seemeth tov and yashar unto thee to do unto us, do.
