MLV(i)
21 And the rulers said to them, Let them live. So they became hewers of wood and drawers of water to all the congregation, as the rulers had spoken to them.
22 And Joshua called for them and he spoke to them, saying, Why have you* beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you*, when you* dwell among us? 23 Now therefore you* are cursed and there will never fail to be bondmen of you*, both 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 your servants, how that Jehovah your God commanded his servant Moses to give you* all the land and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you*. Therefore we were very afraid for our lives because of you* and have done this thing. 25 And now, behold, we are in your hand. As it seems good and right to you to do to us, do. 26 And so he did to them and delivered them out of the hand of the sons of Israel, that they did not kill them. 27 And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of Jehovah to this day in the place which he should choose.
