But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 19 is found in chapter 9 of Joshua. Three days later Israel discovers the deception. Nevertheless, the leaders uphold the oath because they had sworn by the name of the Lord. The Gibeonites are made servants associated with worship, responsible for providing wood and water. The tension between deception and the obligation of an oath shows that words spoken before God have consequences. Israel must face the consequences of its decision rather than treating the breaking of an oath as a convenient solution.
