Joshua 9:24 in Context — Joshua 9
22 E chamando-os Josué, lhes falou dizendo: Por que nos enganastes, dizendo, Habitamos muito longe de vós; uma vez que morais em meio de nós?
23 Vós pois agora sois malditos, e não faltará de vós servo, e quem corte a lenha e tire a água para a casa de meu Deus.
24 E eles responderam a Josué, e disseram: Quando foi dado a entender a teus servos, que o SENHOR teu Deus havia mandado a Moisés seu servo que vos havia de dar toda a terra, e que havia de destruir todos os moradores da terra diante de vós, por isto temos muito medo de vós por nossas vidas, e fizemos isto.
25 Agora pois, eis-nos aqui em tua mão; o que te parecer bom e correto fazer de nós, faze-o.
26 E ele o fez assim; que os livrou da mão dos filhos de Israel, para que não os matassem.
