Joshua 9:20-22

New Century Version

²⁰ This is what we must do. We must let them live. Otherwise, God’s anger will be against us for breaking the oath we swore to them. ²¹ So let them live, but they will cut wood and carry water for our people.” So the leaders kept their promise to them.

²² Joshua called for the Gibeonites and asked, “Why did you lie to us? Your land was near our camp, but you told us you were from a far country.
