GIBEONITES HEWERS OF WOOD AND DRAWERS OF WATER

Hewers of wood and drawers of water. Joshua called the [Hivite] men and said, “Why did you deceive us, saying, ‘We live very far away from you,’ when [in fact] you live among us?
Now therefore, you are cursed, and you shall always be slaves, both cutters and gatherers of firewood and water carriers for the house of my God.”
