Joshua 9:19 in Context — Joshua 9

17 E partiram-se os filhos de Israel, e ao terceiro dia chegaram a suas cidades: e suas cidades eram Gibeão, Quefira, Beerote, e Quiriate-Jearim.

18 E não os feriram os filhos de Israel, porquanto os príncipes da congregação lhes haviam jurado pelo SENHOR o Deus de Israel. E toda a congregação murmurava contra os príncipes.

19 Mas todos os príncipes responderam a toda a congregação: Nós lhes juramos pelo SENHOR Deus de Israel; portanto, agora não lhes podemos tocar.

20 Isto faremos com eles: lhes deixaremos viver, para que não venha ira sobre nós por causa do juramento que lhes fizemos.

21 E os príncipes lhes disseram: Vivam; mas sejam lenhadores e carregadores de água para toda a congregação, como os príncipes lhes disseram.
