Joshua 9:20-22

Revised Geneva Translation

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.”

²¹ And the princes said to them again, “Let them live. But they shall cut wood and draw water for all the Congregation, as the princes appoint them.”

²² Joshua then called them, and talked with them, and said, “Why have you tricked us, saying, ‘We are very far from you’, when you dwell among us?
