Joshua 7:1-26

But the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
committed
<04603> (8799)
a trespass
<04604>
in the accursed thing
<02764>_:
for Achan
<05912>_,
the son
<01121>
of Carmi
<03756>_,
the son
<01121>
of Zabdi
<02067>_,
the son
<01121>
of Zerah
<02226>_,
of the tribe
<04294>
of Judah
<03063>_,
took
<03947> (8799)
of the accursed thing
<02764>_:
and the anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)
against the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_.
{Achan: also called, Achar} {Zabdi: also called, Zimri}
And Joshua
<03091>
sent
<07971> (8799)
men
<0582>
from Jericho
<03405>
to Ai
<05857>_,
which [is] beside
<05973>
Bethaven
<01007>_,
on the east side
<06924>
of Bethel
<01008>_,
and spake
<0559> (8799)
unto them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go up
<05927> (8798)
and view
<07270> (8761)
the country
<0776>_.
And the men
<0582>
went up
<05927> (8799)
and viewed
<07270> (8762)
Ai
<05857>_.
And they returned
<07725> (8799)
to Joshua
<03091>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Let not all the people
<05971>
go up
<05927> (8799)_;
but let about two or three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
go up
<05927> (8799)
and smite
<05221> (8686)
Ai
<05857>_;
[and] make not all the people
<05971>
to labour
<03021> (8762)
thither; for they [are but] few
<04592>_.
{about...: Heb. about two thousand men, or, about three thousand men}
So there went up
<05927> (8799)
thither of the people
<05971>
about three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>_:
and they fled
<05127> (8799)
before
<06440>
the men
<0582>
of Ai
<05857>_.
And the men
<0582>
of Ai
<05857>
smote
<05221> (8686)
of them about thirty
<07970>
and six
<08337>
men
<0376>_:
for they chased
<07291> (8799)
them [from] before
<06440>
the gate
<08179>
[even] unto Shebarim
<07671>_,
and smote
<05221> (8686)
them in the going down
<04174>_:
wherefore the hearts
<03824>
of the people
<05971>
melted
<04549> (8735)_,
and became as water
<04325>_.
{in...: or, in Morad}
And Joshua
<03091>
rent
<07167> (8799)
his clothes
<08071>_,
and fell
<05307> (8799)
to the earth
<0776>
upon his face
<06440>
before
<06440>
the ark
<0727>
of the LORD
<03068>
until the eventide
<06153>_,
he and the elders
<02205>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and put
<05927> (8686)
dust
<06083>
upon their heads
<07218>_.
And Joshua
<03091>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Alas, O
<0162>
Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>_,
wherefore hast thou at all
<05674> (8687)
brought
<05674> (0)
this people
<05971>
over
<05674> (8689)
Jordan
<03383>_,
to deliver
<05414> (8800)
us into the hand
<03027>
of the Amorites
<0567>_,
to destroy
<06> (8687)
us? would to God
<03863>
we had been content
<02974> (8689)_,
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
on the other side
<05676>
Jordan
<03383>_!
O
<0994>
Lord
<0136>_,
what shall I say
<0559> (8799)_,
when
<0310>
Israel
<03478>
turneth
<02015> (8804)
their backs
<06203>
before
<06440>
their enemies
<0341> (8802)_!
{backs: Heb. necks}
For the Canaanites
<03669>
and all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the land
<0776>
shall hear
<08085> (8799)
[of it], and shall environ us round
<05437> (8738)_,
and cut off
<03772> (8689)
our name
<08034>
from the earth
<0776>_:
and what wilt thou do
<06213> (8799)
unto thy great
<01419>
name
<08034>_?
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Joshua
<03091>_,
Get thee up
<06965> (8798)_;
wherefore liest
<05307> (8802)
thou thus upon thy face
<06440>_?
{liest: Heb. fallest}
Israel
<03478>
hath sinned
<02398> (8804)_,
and they have also transgressed
<05674> (8804)
my covenant
<01285>
which I commanded
<06680> (8765)
them: for they have even taken
<03947> (8804)
of the accursed thing
<02764>_,
and have also stolen
<01589> (8804)_,
and dissembled
<03584> (8765)
also, and they have put
<07760> (8804)
[it] even among their own stuff
<03627>_.
Therefore the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
could
<03201> (8799)
not stand
<06965> (8800)
before
<06440>
their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
[but] turned
<06437> (8799)
[their] backs
<06203>
before
<06440>
their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
because they were accursed
<02764>_:
neither will I be with you any more
<03254> (8686)_,
except
<03808>
ye destroy
<08045> (8686)
the accursed
<02764>
from among
<07130>
you.
Up
<06965> (8798)_,
sanctify
<06942> (8761)
the people
<05971>_,
and say
<0559> (8804)_,
Sanctify
<06942> (8690)
yourselves against to morrow
<04279>_:
for thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
[There is] an accursed thing
<02764>
in the midst
<07130>
of thee, O Israel
<03478>_:
thou canst
<03201> (8799)
not stand
<06965> (8800)
before
<06440>
thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
until ye take away
<05493> (8687)
the accursed thing
<02764>
from among
<07130>
you.
In the morning
<01242>
therefore ye shall be brought
<07126> (8738)
according to your tribes
<07626>_:
and it shall be, [that] the tribe
<07626>
which the LORD
<03068>
taketh
<03920> (8799)
shall come
<07126> (8799)
according to the families
<04940>
[thereof]; and the family
<04940>
which the LORD
<03068>
shall take
<03920> (8799)
shall come
<07126> (8799)
by households
<01004>_;
and the household
<01004>
which the LORD
<03068>
shall take
<03920> (8799)
shall come
<07126> (8799)
man
<01397>
by man
<01397>_.
And it shall be, [that] he that is taken
<03920> (8737)
with the accursed thing
<02764>
shall be burnt
<08313> (8735)
with fire
<0784>_,
he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed
<05674> (8804)
the covenant
<01285>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and because he hath wrought
<06213> (8804)
folly
<05039>
in Israel
<03478>_.
{folly: or, wickedness}
So Joshua
<03091>
rose up early
<07925> (8686)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and brought
<07126> (8686)
Israel
<03478>
by their tribes
<07626>_;
and the tribe
<07626>
of Judah
<03063>
was taken
<03920> (8735)_:
And he brought
<07126> (8686)
the family
<04940>
of Judah
<03063>_;
and he took
<03920> (8799)
the family
<04940>
of the Zarhites
<02227>_:
and he brought
<07126> (8686)
the family
<04940>
of the Zarhites
<02227>
man
<01397>
by man
<01397>_;
and Zabdi
<02067>
was taken
<03920> (8735)_:
And he brought
<07126> (8686)
his household
<01004>
man
<01397>
by man
<01397>_;
and Achan
<05912>_,
the son
<01121>
of Carmi
<03756>_,
the son
<01121>
of Zabdi
<02067>_,
the son
<01121>
of Zerah
<02226>_,
of the tribe
<04294>
of Judah
<03063>_,
was taken
<03920> (8735)_.
And Joshua
<03091>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Achan
<05912>_,
My son
<01121>_,
give
<07760> (8798)_,
I pray thee, glory
<03519>
to the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and make
<05414> (8798)
confession
<08426>
unto him; and tell
<05046> (8685)
me now what thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_;
hide
<03582> (8762)
[it] not from me.
And Achan
<05912>
answered
<06030> (8799)
Joshua
<03091>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Indeed
<0546>
I have sinned
<02398> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and thus and thus have I done
<06213> (8804)_:
When I saw
<07200> (8799)
among the spoils
<07998>
a
<0259>
goodly
<02896>
Babylonish
<08152>
garment
<0155>_,
and two hundred
<03967>
shekels
<08255>
of silver
<03701>_,
and a
<0259>
wedge
<03956>
of gold
<02091>
of fifty
<02572>
shekels
<08255>
weight
<04948>_,
then I coveted
<02530> (8799)
them, and took
<03947> (8799)
them; and, behold, they [are] hid
<02934> (8803)
in the earth
<0776>
in the midst
<08432>
of my tent
<0168>_,
and the silver
<03701>
under it. {wedge: Heb. tongue}
So Joshua
<03091>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>_,
and they ran
<07323> (8799)
unto the tent
<0168>_;
and, behold, [it was] hid
<02934> (8803)
in his tent
<0168>_,
and the silver
<03701>
under it.
And they took
<03947> (8799)
them out of the midst
<08432>
of the tent
<0168>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
them unto Joshua
<03091>_,
and unto all the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
and laid them out
<03332> (8686)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_.
{laid: Heb. poured}
And Joshua
<03091>_,
and all Israel
<03478>
with him, took
<03947> (8799)
Achan
<05912>
the son
<01121>
of Zerah
<02226>_,
and the silver
<03701>_,
and the garment
<0155>_,
and the wedge
<03956>
of gold
<02091>_,
and his sons
<01121>_,
and his daughters
<01323>_,
and his oxen
<07794>_,
and his asses
<02543>_,
and his sheep
<06629>_,
and his tent
<0168>_,
and all that he had: and they brought
<05927> (8686)
them unto the valley
<06010>
of Achor
<05911>_.
And Joshua
<03091>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Why
<04100>
hast thou troubled
<05916> (8804)
us? the LORD
<03068>
shall trouble
<05916> (8799)
thee this day
<03117>_.
And all Israel
<03478>
stoned
<07275> (8799)
him with stones
<068>_,
and burned
<08313> (8799)
them with fire
<0784>_,
after they had stoned
<05619> (8799)
them with stones
<068>_.
And they raised
<06965> (8686)
over him a great
<01419>
heap
<01530>
of stones
<068>
unto this day
<03117>_.
So the LORD
<03068>
turned
<07725> (8799)
from the fierceness
<02740>
of his anger
<0639>_.
Wherefore the name
<08034>
of that place
<04725>
was called
<07121> (8804)_,
The valley
<06010>
of Achor
<05911>_,
unto this day
<03117>_.
{Achor: that is, Trouble}
