Joshua 7:1--8:29

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}

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

Fear
<03372> (8799)

not, neither be thou dismayed
<02865> (8735)_:

take
<03947> (8798)

all the people
<05971>

of war
<04421>

with thee, and arise
<06965> (8798)_,

go up
<05927> (8798)

to Ai
<05857>_:

see
<07200> (8798)_,

I have given
<05414> (8804)

into thy hand
<03027>

the king
<04428>

of Ai
<05857>_,

and his people
<05971>_,

and his city
<05892>_,

and his land
<0776>_:

And thou shalt do
<06213> (8804)

to Ai
<05857>

and her king
<04428>

as thou didst
<06213> (8804)

unto Jericho
<03405>

and her king
<04428>_:

only the spoil
<07998>

thereof, and the cattle
<0929>

thereof, shall ye take for a prey
<0962> (8799)

unto yourselves: lay
<07760> (8798)

thee an ambush
<0693> (8802)

for the city
<05892>

behind
<0310>

it.

So Joshua
<03091>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and all the people
<05971>

of war
<04421>_,

to go up
<05927> (8800)

against Ai
<05857>_:

and Joshua
<03091>

chose out
<0977> (8799)

thirty
<07970>

thousand
<0505>

mighty
<01368>

men
<0376>

of valour
<02428>_,

and sent them away
<07971> (8799)

by night
<03915>_.

And he commanded
<06680> (8762)

them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold
<07200> (8798)_,

ye shall lie in wait
<0693> (8802)

against the city
<05892>_,

[even] behind
<0310>

the city
<05892>_:

go
<07368> (0)

not very
<03966>

far
<07368> (8686)

from the city
<05892>_,

but be ye all ready
<03559> (8737)_:

And I, and all the people
<05971>

that [are] with me, will approach
<07126> (8799)

unto the city
<05892>_:

and it shall come to pass, when they come out
<03318> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

us, as at the first
<07223>_,

that we will flee
<05127> (8804)

before
<06440>

them,

(For they will come out
<03318> (8804)

after
<0310>

us) till we have drawn
<05423> (8687)

them from the city
<05892>_;

for they will say
<0559> (8799)_,

They flee
<05127> (8801)

before
<06440>

us, as at the first
<07223>_:

therefore we will flee
<05127> (8804)

before
<06440>

them. {drawn: Heb. pulled}

Then ye shall rise up
<06965> (8799)

from the ambush
<0693> (8802)_,

and seize
<03423> (8689)

upon the city
<05892>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

will deliver
<05414> (8804)

it into your hand
<03027>_.

And it shall be, when ye have taken
<08610> (8800)

the city
<05892>_,

[that] ye shall set
<03341> (8686)

the city
<05892>

on fire
<0784>_:

according to the commandment
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

shall ye do
<06213> (8799)_.

See
<07200> (8798)_,

I have commanded
<06680> (8765)

you.

Joshua
<03091>

therefore sent them forth
<07971> (8799)_:

and they went
<03212> (8799)

to lie in ambush
<03993>_,

and abode
<03427> (8799)

between Bethel
<01008>

and Ai
<05857>_,

on the west side
<03220>

of Ai
<05857>_:

but Joshua
<03091>

lodged
<03885> (8799)

that night
<03915>

among
<08432>

the people
<05971>_.

And Joshua
<03091>

rose up early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and numbered
<06485> (8799)

the people
<05971>_,

and went up
<05927> (8799)_,

he and the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>_,

before
<06440>

the people
<05971>

to Ai
<05857>_.

And all the people
<05971>_,

[even the people] of war
<04421>

that [were] with him, went up
<05927> (8804)_,

and drew nigh
<05066> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

before the city
<05892>_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

on the north side
<06828>

of Ai
<05857>_:

now [there was] a valley
<01516>

between them and Ai
<05857>_.

And he took
<03947> (8799)

about five
<02568>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_,

and set
<07760> (8799)

them to lie in ambush
<0693> (8802)

between Bethel
<01008>

and Ai
<05857>_,

on the west side
<03220>

of the city
<05857> (8675) <05892>_.

{of...: or, of Ai}

And when they had set
<07760> (8799)

the people
<05971>_,

[even] all the host
<04264>

that [was] on the north
<06828>

of the city
<05892>_,

and their liers in wait
<06119>

on the west
<03220>

of the city
<05892>_,

Joshua
<03091>

went
<03212> (8799)

that night
<03915>

into the midst
<08432>

of the valley
<06010>_.

{liers...: Heb. lying in wait}

And it came to pass, when the king
<04428>

of Ai
<05857>

saw
<07200> (8800)

[it], that they hasted
<04116> (8762)

and rose up early
<07925> (8686)_,

and the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>

went out
<03318> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

Israel
<03478>

to battle
<04421>_,

he and all his people
<05971>_,

at a time appointed
<04150>_,

before
<06440>

the plain
<06160>_;

but he wist
<03045> (8804)

not that [there were] liers in ambush
<0693> (8802)

against him behind
<0310>

the city
<05892>_.

And Joshua
<03091>

and all Israel
<03478>

made as if they were beaten
<05060> (8735)

before
<06440>

them, and fled
<05127> (8799)

by the way
<01870>

of the wilderness
<04057>_.

And all the people
<05971>

that [were] in Ai
<05857> (8675) <05892>

were called
<02199> (8735)

together to pursue
<07291> (8800)

after
<0310>

them: and they pursued
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

Joshua
<03091>_,

and were drawn away
<05423> (8735)

from the city
<05892>_.

And there was not a man
<0376>

left
<07604> (8738)

in Ai
<05857>

or Bethel
<01008>_,

that went not out
<03318> (8804)

after
<0310>

Israel
<03478>_:

and they left
<05800> (8799)

the city
<05892>

open
<06605> (8803)_,

and pursued
<07291> (8799)

after Israel
<03478>_.

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

Stretch out
<05186> (8798)

the spear
<03591>

that [is] in thy hand
<03027>

toward Ai
<05857>_;

for I will give
<05414> (8799)

it into thine hand
<03027>_.

And Joshua
<03091>

stretched out
<05186> (8799)

the spear
<03591>

that [he had] in his hand
<03027>

toward the city
<05892>_.

And the ambush
<0693> (8802)

arose
<06965> (8804)

quickly
<04120>

out of their place
<04725>_,

and they ran
<07323> (8799)

as soon as he had stretched out
<05186> (8800)

his hand
<03027>_:

and they entered
<0935> (8799)

into the city
<05892>_,

and took
<03920> (8799)

it, and hasted
<04116> (8762)

and set
<03341> (8686)

the city
<05892>

on fire
<0784>_.

And when the men
<0582>

of Ai
<05857>

looked
<06437> (8799)

behind
<0310>

them, they saw
<07200> (8799)_,

and, behold, the smoke
<06227>

of the city
<05892>

ascended up
<05927> (8804)

to heaven
<08064>_,

and they had no power
<03027>

to flee
<05127> (8800)

this way or that way
<02008>_:

and the people
<05971>

that fled
<05127> (8801)

to the wilderness
<04057>

turned back
<02015> (8738)

upon the pursuers
<07291> (8802)_.

{power: Heb. hand}

And when Joshua
<03091>

and all Israel
<03478>

saw
<07200> (8804)

that the ambush
<0693> (8802)

had taken
<03920> (8804)

the city
<05892>_,

and that the smoke
<06227>

of the city
<05892>

ascended
<05927> (8804)_,

then they turned again
<07725> (8799)_,

and slew
<05221> (8686)

the men
<0582>

of Ai
<05857>_.

And the other
<0428>

issued out
<03318> (8804)

of the city
<05892>

against
<07125> (8800)

them; so they were in the midst
<08432>

of Israel
<03478>_,

some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote
<05221> (8686)

them, so that
<05704>

they let
<07604> (8689)

none of them remain
<08300>

or escape
<06412>_.

And the king
<04428>

of Ai
<05857>

they took
<08610> (8804)

alive
<02416>_,

and brought
<07126> (8686)

him to Joshua
<03091>_.

And it came to pass, when Israel
<03478>

had made an end
<03615> (8763)

of slaying
<02026> (8800)

all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Ai
<05857>

in the field
<07704>_,

in the wilderness
<04057>

wherein they chased
<07291> (8804)

them, and when they were all fallen
<05307> (8799)

on the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_,

until they were consumed
<08552> (8800)_,

that all the Israelites
<03478>

returned
<07725> (8799)

unto Ai
<05857>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

it with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_.

And [so] it was, [that] all that fell
<05307> (8802)

that day
<03117>_,

both of men
<0376>

and women
<0802>_,

[were] twelve
<08147> <06240>

thousand
<0505>_,

[even] all the men
<0582>

of Ai
<05857>_.

For Joshua
<03091>

drew
<07725> (0)

not his hand
<03027>

back
<07725> (8689)_,

wherewith he stretched out
<05186> (8804)

the spear
<03591>_,

until he had utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)

all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Ai
<05857>_.

Only the cattle
<0929>

and the spoil
<07998>

of that city
<05892>

Israel
<03478>

took for a prey
<0962> (8804)

unto themselves, according unto the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

which he commanded
<06680> (8765)

Joshua
<03091>_.

And Joshua
<03091>

burnt
<08313> (8799)

Ai
<05857>_,

and made
<07760> (8799)

it an heap
<08510>

for ever
<05769>_,

[even] a desolation
<08077>

unto this day
<03117>_.

And the king
<04428>

of Ai
<05857>

he hanged
<08518> (8804)

on a tree
<06086>

until eventide
<06256> <06153>_:

and as soon as the sun
<08121>

was down
<0935> (8800)_,

Joshua
<03091>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

that they should take
<03381> (0)

his carcase
<05038>

down
<03381> (8686)

from the tree
<06086>_,

and cast
<07993> (8686)

it at the entering
<06607>

of the gate
<08179>

of the city
<05892>_,

and raise
<06965> (8686)

thereon a great
<01419>

heap
<01530>

of stones
<068>_,

[that remaineth] unto this day
<03117>_.
