Joshua 9:18-20

Tree of Life Version

¹⁸ But Bnei-Yisrael did not strike them, because the leaders of the community had sworn to them by Adonai, God of Israel. Then the entire community murmured against the leaders, ¹⁹ but all the leaders answered the entire community, “We have sworn to them by Adonai, God of Israel, so now we cannot touch them. ²⁰ This is what we will do to them: We will let them live, lest wrath be upon us because of the oath which we swore to them.”
