So did many other people. The Israelites also took large flocks and herds with them.

There is no Jew or Gentile. There is no slave or free person. There is no male or female. That’s because you are all one in Christ Jesus.

“ Suppose an outsider living among you wants to celebrate the Lord’ s Passover. Then all the males in that home must be circumcised. After that, the person can take part, just like an Israelite. Only circumcised males may eat it.The same law applies to Israelites and to outsiders living among you.”

Some people with them began to wish for other food. Again the Israelites began to cry out. They said,“ We wish we had meat to eat.

Here there is no Gentile or Jew. There is no difference between those who are circumcised and those who are not. There is no rude outsider, or even a Scythian. There is no slave or free person. But Christ is everything. And he is in everything.

They continued,“ Let them live. But make them cut wood and carry water to serve the whole community.” So the leaders kept their promise to them.Joshua sent for the people of Gibeon. He said to them,“ Why did you trick us? You said,‘ We live far away from you.’ But in fact you live close to us.So now you are under a curse. You will always serve us. You will always cut wood and carry water for the house of my God.”They answered Joshua,“ We were clearly told what the Lord your God had commanded his servant Moses to do. He commanded him to give you the whole land. He also ordered him to wipe out all its people to make room for you. So we were afraid you would kill us. That’s why we tricked you.We are now under your control. Do to us what you think is good and right.”So Joshua saved the people of Gibeon. He didn’t let the Israelites kill them.That day he made them cut wood and carry water. They had to serve the community of Israel. They also had to do work connected with the altar of the Lord. The altar would be at the place the Lord would choose. And they still serve the Israelites to this day.

But the seventh day is a sabbath to honor the Lord your God. Do not do any work on that day. The same command applies to your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, your oxen, your donkeys and your other animals. It also applies to any outsiders who live in your towns. I want your male and female servants to rest, just as you do.
