They answered Joshua, “We lied, sir, because we greatly feared for our lives. We know for certain all about Moses and how he served YAHWEH, your God. We know for certain that YAHWEH will honor his promise to Moses and give you all these lands as your own. And we know for certain that he commanded you to wipe out all the inhabitants living here and thus take possession of this land. Now we are at your mercy, so do with us what you consider right and proper.” So Joshua had mercy and saved them from being killed by the Israelites. That day, he made them woodcutters and water carriers to serve the community of Israel for the altar of YAHWEH at his divinely chosen place. And that is what they do to this day.
