Joshua 9:18-20

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁸ And the children of Israel did not kill them, because the princes of the Congregation had sworn to them by the LORD God of Israel. Therefore, all the Congregation murmured against the princes.

¹⁹ Then, all the princes said to all the Congregation, “We have sworn to them by the LORD God of Israel. Now, therefore, we may not touch them.

²⁰ “This we will do to them, and let them live, lest the Wrath be upon us because of the oath which we swore to them.”
