And the whole assembly grumbled against the leaders. 19 But all the leaders said to the assembly, 'We have sworn an oath to them by the LORD, the God of Israel, and now we cannot touch them.' 20 This is what we will do to them: We will let them live so that no wrath will fall on us for breaking the oath we swore to them. 21 They also said, 'Let them live, but let them be woodcutters and water carriers for the entire assembly,' just as the leaders had directed. 22 Then Joshua summoned them and said, 'Why did you deceive us by saying, “We live far away from you,” while in fact you live among us?' 23 'Now therefore, you are under a curse and will always serve as woodcutters and water carriers for the house of my God.'
