23 And now YOU are cursed+ people, and a slave’s position+ and being gatherers* of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God will never be cut off from YOU.”+

28 And it came about that Israel grew strong+ and proceeded to set the Caʹnaan·ites to forced labor,+ and they did not drive them out completely.+

21 their sons who had been left over after them in the land whom the sons of Israel had been unable to devote to destruction,+ Solʹo·mon kept levying them for slavish forced labor until this day.+
