📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Joshua, the Israelites were conquering the Promised Land when the Gibeonites, a group of Canaanites, deceived them into a peace treaty by pretending to be from a distant land. The Israelite leaders swore an oath to spare the Gibeonites, but upon realizing the trickery, they could not break their vow due to God's emphasis on keeping promises. As a result, the Gibeonites were allowed to live but were made servants to handle menial tasks like cutting wood and drawing water for the Israelite community.
