The Gemara deduced from the separate mention of "all the men of Israel," "your stranger," and "the hewer of your wood to the drawer of your water" in that Moses meant to decree that the hewers of wood and the drawers of water (whom the Gemara deduced from were Gibeonites) were to be considered neither Israelites nor converts in that generation. The Gemara further deduced that in , Joshua extended that decree of separation for the period during which the Sanctuary existed, and in , David extended the decree for all generations.
