And the princes said unto them, Let them live: so they became hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation, as the princes had spoken unto them.

Keep them living, and let them be servants, cutting wood and getting water for all the people. And all the people did as the chiefs had said to them.

Και οι αρχοντες ειπον προς αυτους, Ας ζωσι· πλην ας ηναι ξυλοκοποι και υδροφοροι εις πασαν συναγωγην· καθως οι αρχοντες υπεσχεθησαν προς αυτους.

And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had promised them.
