Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 23 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.
