1 But the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 committedH4603 a trespassH4604 in the accursed thing:H2764 for Achan,H5912 the sonH1121 of Carmi,H3756 the sonH1121 of Zabdi,H2067 the sonH1121 of Zerah,H2226 of the tribeH4294 of Judah,H3063 tookH3947 of the accursed thing:H2764 and the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against the childrenH1121 of Israel.H3478 2 And JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 menH582 from JerichoH3405 to Ai,H5857 which is besideH5973 Bethaven,H1007 on the east sideH6924 of Bethel,H1008 and spakeH559 unto them, saying,H559 Go upH5927 and viewH7270 the country.H776 And the menH582 went upH5927 and viewedH7270 Ai.H5857 3 And they returnedH7725 to Joshua,H3091 and saidH559 unto him, Let not all the peopleH5971 go up;H5927 but let about two or threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 go upH5927 and smiteH5221 Ai;H5857 and make not all the peopleH5971 to labourH3021 thither; for they are but few.H4592 4 So there went upH5927 thither of the peopleH5971 about threeH7969 thousandH505 men:H376 and they fledH5127 beforeH6440 the menH582 of Ai.H5857 5 And the menH582 of AiH5857 smoteH5221 of them about thirtyH7970 and sixH8337 men:H376 for they chasedH7291 them from beforeH6440 the gateH8179 even unto Shebarim,H7671 and smoteH5221 them in the going down:H4174 wherefore the heartsH3824 of the peopleH5971 melted,H4549 and became as water.H4325 6 And JoshuaH3091 rentH7167 his clothes,H8071 and fellH5307 to the earthH776 upon his faceH6440 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 until the eventide,H6153 he and the eldersH2205 of Israel,H3478 and putH5927 dustH6083 upon their heads.H7218 7 And JoshuaH3091 said,H559 Alas, OH162 LordH136 GOD,H3069 wherefore hast thou at allH5674 broughtH5674 this peopleH5971 overH5674 Jordan,H3383 to deliverH5414 us into the handH3027 of the Amorites,H567 to destroyH6 us? would to GodH3863 we had been content,H2974 and dweltH3427 on the other sideH5676 Jordan!H3383 8 OH994 Lord,H136 what shall I say,H559 whenH310 IsraelH3478 turnethH2015 their backsH6203 beforeH6440 their enemies!H341 9 For the CanaanitesH3669 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 shall hearH8085 of it, and shall environ us round,H5437 and cut offH3772 our nameH8034 from the earth:H776 and what wilt thou doH6213 unto thy greatH1419 name?H8034 10 And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto Joshua,H3091 Get thee up;H6965 wherefore liestH5307 thou thus upon thy face?H6440 11 IsraelH3478 hath sinned,H2398 and they have also transgressedH5674 my covenantH1285 which I commandedH6680 them: for they have even takenH3947 of the accursed thing,H2764 and have also stolen,H1589 and dissembledH3584 also, and they have putH7760 it even among their own stuff.H3627 12 Therefore the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 couldH3201 not standH6965 beforeH6440 their enemies,H341 but turnedH6437 their backsH6203 beforeH6440 their enemies,H341 because they were accursed:H2764 neither will I be with you any more,H3254 exceptH3808 ye destroyH8045 the accursedH2764 from amongH7130 you. 13 Up,H6965 sanctifyH6942 the people,H5971 and say,H559 SanctifyH6942 yourselves against to morrow:H4279 for thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of Israel,H3478 There is an accursed thingH2764 in the midstH7130 of thee, O Israel:H3478 thou canstH3201 not standH6965 beforeH6440 thine enemies,H341 until ye take awayH5493 the accursed thingH2764 from amongH7130 you. 14 In the morningH1242 therefore ye shall be broughtH7126 according to your tribes:H7626 and it shall be, that the tribeH7626 which the LORDH3068 takethH3920 shall comeH7126 according to the familiesH4940 thereof; and the familyH4940 which the LORDH3068 shall takeH3920 shall comeH7126 by households;H1004 and the householdH1004 which the LORDH3068 shall takeH3920 shall comeH7126 manH1397 by man.H1397 15 And it shall be, that he that is takenH3920 with the accursed thingH2764 shall be burntH8313 with fire,H784 he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressedH5674 the covenantH1285 of the LORD,H3068 and because he hath wroughtH6213 follyH5039 in Israel.H3478 16 So JoshuaH3091 rose up earlyH7925 in the morning,H1242 and broughtH7126 IsraelH3478 by their tribes;H7626 and the tribeH7626 of JudahH3063 was taken:H3920 17 And he broughtH7126 the familyH4940 of Judah;H3063 and he tookH3920 the familyH4940 of the Zarhites:H2227 and he broughtH7126 the familyH4940 of the ZarhitesH2227 manH1397 by man;H1397 and ZabdiH2067 was taken:H3920 18 And he broughtH7126 his householdH1004 manH1397 by man;H1397 and Achan,H5912 the sonH1121 of Carmi,H3756 the sonH1121 of Zabdi,H2067 the sonH1121 of Zerah,H2226 of the tribeH4294 of Judah,H3063 was taken.H3920 19 And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto Achan,H5912 My son,H1121 give,H7760 I pray thee, gloryH3519 to the LORDH3068 GodH430 of Israel,H3478 and makeH5414 confessionH8426 unto him; and tellH5046 me now what thou hast done;H6213 hideH3582 it not from me. 20 And AchanH5912 answeredH6030 Joshua,H3091 and said,H559 IndeedH546 I have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 GodH430 of Israel,H3478 and thus and thus have I done:H6213 21 When I sawH7200 among the spoilsH7998 aH259 goodlyH2896 BabylonishH8152 garment,H155 and two hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of silver,H3701 and aH259 wedgeH3956 of goldH2091 of fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 weight,H4948 then I covetedH2530 them, and tookH3947 them; and, behold, they are hidH2934 in the earthH776 in the midstH8432 of my tent,H168 and the silverH3701 under it. 22 So JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 messengers,H4397 and they ranH7323 unto the tent;H168 and, behold, it was hidH2934 in his tent,H168 and the silverH3701 under it. 23 And they tookH3947 them out of the midstH8432 of the tent,H168 and broughtH935 them unto Joshua,H3091 and unto all the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 and laid them outH3332 beforeH6440 the LORD.H3068 24 And Joshua,H3091 and all IsraelH3478 with him, tookH3947 AchanH5912 the sonH1121 of Zerah,H2226 and the silver,H3701 and the garment,H155 and the wedgeH3956 of gold,H2091 and his sons,H1121 and his daughters,H1323 and his oxen,H7794 and his asses,H2543 and his sheep,H6629 and his tent,H168 and all that he had: and they broughtH5927 them unto the valleyH6010 of Achor.H5911 25 And JoshuaH3091 said,H559 WhyH4100 hast thou troubledH5916 us? the LORDH3068 shall troubleH5916 thee this day.H3117 And all IsraelH3478 stonedH7275 him with stones,H68 and burnedH8313 them with fire,H784 after they had stonedH5619 them with stones.H68 26 And they raisedH6965 over him a greatH1419 heapH1530 of stonesH68 unto this day.H3117 So the LORDH3068 turnedH7725 from the fiercenessH2740 of his anger.H639 Wherefore the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 was called,H7121 The valleyH6010 of Achor,H5911 unto this day.H3117
