Why our elders H2205 and all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of our country H776 spoke H559 to us, saying, H559 Take H3947 victuals H6720 with you for the journey, H1870 and go H3212 to meet H7125 them, and say H559 to them, We are your servants: H5650 therefore now H6258 make H3772 you a league H1285 with us.

Now H6258 therefore you are cursed, H779 and there shall none H3808 of you be freed H3772 from being slaves, H5650 and hewers H2404 of wood H6086 and drawers H7579 of water H4325 for the house H1004 of my God. H430

And now, H6258 behold, H2005 we are in your hand: H3027 as it seems H5869 good H2896 and right H3477 to you to do H6213 to us, do. H6213

And Joshua H3091 made H5414 them that day H3117 hewers H2404 of wood H6086 and drawers H7579 of water H4325 for the congregation, H5712 and for the altar H4196 of the LORD, H3068 even to this H2088 day, H3117 in the place H4725 which H834 he should choose. H977

And he said, H559 Cursed H779 be Canaan; H3667 a servant H5650 of servants H5650 shall he be to his brothers. H251

And he said, H559 Blessed H1288 be the LORD H3068 God H430 of Shem; H8035 and Canaan H3667 shall be his servant. H5650

And it shall be, if H518 it make you answer H6030 of peace, H7965 and open H6605 to you, then it shall be, that all H3605 the people H5971 that is found H4672 therein shall be tributaries H4522 to you, and they shall serve H5647 you.

And all H3605 the people H5971 that were left H3498 of the Amorites, H567 Hittites, H2850 Perizzites, H6522 Hivites, H2340 and Jebusites, H2983 which H834 were not of the children H1121 of Israel, H3478

Their children H1121 that were left H3498 after H310 them in the land, H776 whom the children H1121 of Israel H3478 also were not able H3201 utterly to destroy, H2763 on those did Solomon H8010 levy H5927 a tribute H4522 of slavery H5647 to this H2088 day. H3117

And he that was over H5921 the house, H1004 and he that was over H5921 the city, H5892 the elders H2205 also, and the bringers H539 up of the children, sent H7971 to Jehu, H3058 saying, H559 We are your servants, H5650 and will do H6213 all H3605 that you shall bid H559 us; we will not make any H376 king: H4427 do H6213 you that which is good H2896 in your eyes.
