Joshua 9:15-27 And Iosua made peace wyth them, and made a couenaunt with them, that they shulde be suffred to lyue: & the Lordes of the congregacyon sware vnto them.

Great⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And Iosua made peace wyth them, and made a couenaunt with them, that they shulde be suffred to lyue: & the Lordes of the congregacyon sware vnto them. ¹⁶ And it fortuned, that thre dayes after they had made peace wyth them, they hearde that they were their neyboures, & that they dwelte amonge them. ¹⁷ And the chyldren of Israel toke their Iourney, and came vnto their cyties the thyrde daye: and their cyties were Gibeon, & Caphira, Beeroth and kariat Iarim. ¹⁸ And the children of Israell slewe them not, because the Lordes of the congregacyon had sworne vnto them by the Lorde God of Israell. And all the multitude murmured against the Lordes. ¹⁹ But all the Lordes sayde vnto all the congregacyon: we haue sworne vnto them by the Lord God of Israel, & therfore we maye not hurte them. ²⁰ But this we wyll do to them: We will lett them lyue, lest wrath be vpon vs, because of the othe which we sware vnto them. ²¹ And the Lordes sayd vnto them agayne: Let them lyue, and hewe wodd, and drawe water vnto all the congregacion, and they did as the Lordes sayde vnto them. ²² And Iosua sent for them, & talked wyth them, and sayde: wherfore haue ye begyled vs, sayeng: We dwell farre from you, whan ye dwell amonge vs? ²³ and now are you curssed, & there shall not cease to be of you, bond men and hewers of wodd & drawers of water for the house of my God. ²⁴ And they aunswered Iosua and sayde: it was tolde thy seruauntes, how that the Lord thy God had commaunded his seruaunt Moses to geue you all the lande, and to destroye all the enhabytoures therof oute of youre syght, & therfore we were exceadyng sore afrayed for oure lyues at the presence of you, & haue done this thinge, ²⁵ & beholde we are in thine hande, as it semeth good & ryght in thyne eyes to do vnto vs, so do. ²⁶ And euen so dyd he vnto them, and ridde them oute of the hande of the children of Israel, and they slewe them not. ²⁷ And Iosua made them that same daye hewers of wodd, & drawers of water for the congregacyon and for the aulter of God vnto thys daye, in the place which God shulde chose.
