## Joshua 9:27 in Context (Verses 24–27 KJV)
 
 [24 ](/kjv/joshua/9/24) And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/joshua/9/25) And now, behold, we *are* in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/joshua/9/26) And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/joshua/9/27) And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.*
