21 And the leaders said to them, “Let them live.” So they became ^ycutters of wood and drawers of water for all the congregation, just as the leaders had said of them.

23 Now therefore you are cursed, and some of you shall never be anything but servants, cutters of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.”

27 But Joshua made them that day cutters of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of the Lord, to this day, in the place that he should ^bchoose.
