Joshua makes the inhabitants of Gibeon wood cutters and drawers of water for the LORD’s altar

여호수아가 기브온 거민들을 여호와의 단을 위하여 나무 패며 물 긷는 자로 삼음

Joshua 9:22–27: Joshua calls for them, and he speaks to them, saying, “Why have you deceived us, saying, ‘We are very far from you,’ when you live among us? Now therefore you are cursed, and some of you will never fail to be slaves, both wood cutters and drawers of water for the house of my God.” They answer Joshua, “Because your servants were certainly told how the LORD your God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you. Therefore we were very afraid for our lives because of you, and have done this thing. Now, behold, we are in your hand. Do to us as it seems good and right to you to do.” He does so to them, and delivers them out of the hand of the children of Israel, so that they don’t kill them. That day Joshua makes them wood cutters and drawers of water for the congregation and for the LORD’s altar to this day, in the place which he should choose (the Korean Revised Version: 여호와의 택하신 곳, the place the LORD chose). Where WEB has “some of you” at 9:23, the Korean Revised Version has all of them be slaves forever.
