Joshua 9:23Conservative English VersionNow you are under a curse, and your people will have to send workers to cut wood and carry water for the place of worship." See the chapter |
but he did tell the Gibeonites that they would have to be servants of the nation of Israel. They would have to cut firewood and bring it for the priests to use for burning sacrifices on the LORD's altar, wherever the LORD decided the altar would be. The Gibeonites would also have to carry water for the priests. And that is still the work of the Gibeonites.
