Joshua 7:1 But the children1121 of Israel3478 committed4603 a trespass4604 in the accursed thing:2764 for Achan,5912 the son1121 of Carmi,3756 the son1121 of Zabdi,2067 the son1121 of Zerah,2226 of the tribe4294 of Judah,3063 took3947 of the accursed thing:2764 and the anger639 of the LORD3068 was kindled2734 against the children1121 of Israel.34782 And Joshua3091 sent7971 men582 from Jericho3405 to Ai,5857 which is beside5973 Bethaven,1007 on the east side6924 of Bethel,1008 and spake559 unto them, saying,559 Go up5927 and view7270 the country.776 And the men582 went up5927 and viewed7270 Ai.58573 And they returned7725 to Joshua,3091 and said559 unto him, Let not all the people5971 go up;5927 but let about two or three7969 thousand505 men376{Heb. about 2000 men. Or, about 3000 men} go up5927 and smite5221 Ai;5857and make not all the people5971 to labour3021 thither; for they arebut few.45924 So there went up5927 thither of the people5971 about three7969 thousand505 men:376 and they fled5127 before6440 the men582 of Ai.58575 And the men582 of Ai5857 smote5221 of them about thirty7970 and six8337 men:376 for they chased7291 them from before6440 the gate8179even unto Shebarim,7671 and smote5221 them in the going down:4174{Or, in Morad} wherefore the hearts3824 of the people5971 melted,4549 and became as water.4325
Joshua 7:6 And Joshua3091 rent7167 his clothes,8071 and fell5307 to the earth776 upon his face6440 before6440 the ark727 of the LORD3068 until the eventide,6153 he and the elders2205 of Israel,3478 and put5927 dust6083 upon their heads.72187 And Joshua3091 said,559 Alas, O162 Lord136 GOD,3069 wherefore hast thou at all5674 brought56742794 this people5971 over5674 Jordan,3383 to deliver5414 us into the hand3027 of the Amorites,567 to destroy6 us? would to God3863 we had been content,2974 and dwelt3427 on the other side5676 Jordan!33838 O994 Lord,136 what shall I say,559 when310 Israel3478 turneth2015 their backs6203{Heb. necks} before6440 their enemies!3419 For the Canaanites3669 and all the inhabitants3427 of the land776 shall hear8085ofit, and shall environ us round,5437 and cut off3772 our name8034 from the earth:776 and what wilt thou do6213 unto thy great1419 name?8034
Joshua 7:10 And the LORD3068 said559 unto Joshua,3091 Get thee up;6965 wherefore liest5307{Heb. fallest} thou thus upon thy face?644011 Israel3478 hath sinned,2398 and they have also transgressed5674 my covenant1285 which I commanded6680 them: for they have even taken3947 of the accursed thing,2764 and have also stolen,1589 and dissembled3584 also, and they have put7760it even among their own stuff.362712 Therefore the children1121 of Israel3478 could3201 not stand6965 before6440 their enemies,341but turned6437their backs6203 before6440 their enemies,341 because they were accursed:2764 neither will I be with you any more,3254 except3808 ye destroy8045 the accursed2764 from among7130 you.
13 Up,6965 sanctify6942 the people,5971 and say,559 Sanctify6942 yourselves against to morrow:4279 for thus saith559 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478Thereis an accursed thing2764 in the midst7130 of thee, O Israel:3478 thou canst3201 not stand6965 before6440 thine enemies,341 until ye take away5493 the accursed thing2764 from among7130 you.
14 In the morning1242 therefore ye shall be brought7126 according to your tribes:7626 and it shall be, that the tribe7626 which the LORD3068 taketh3920 shall come7126 according to the families4940thereof; and the family4940 which the LORD3068 shall take3920 shall come7126 by households;1004 and the household1004 which the LORD3068 shall take3920 shall come7126 man1397 by man.139715 And it shall be, that he that is taken3920 with the accursed thing2764 shall be burnt8313 with fire,784 he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed5674 the covenant1285 of the LORD,3068 and because he hath wrought6213 folly5039{Or, wickedness} in Israel.3478
Joshua 7:16 So Joshua3091 rose up early7925 in the morning,1242 and brought7126 Israel3478 by their tribes;7626 and the tribe7626 of Judah3063 was taken:392017 And he brought7126 the family4940 of Judah;3063 and he took3920 the family4940 of the Zarhites:2227 and he brought7126 the family4940 of the Zarhites2227 man1397 by man;1397 and Zabdi2067 was taken:392018 And he brought7126 his household1004 man1397 by man;1397 and Achan,5912 the son1121 of Carmi,3756 the son1121 of Zabdi,2067 the son1121 of Zerah,2226 of the tribe4294 of Judah,3063 was taken.392019 And Joshua3091 said559 unto Achan,5912 My son,1121 give,7760 I pray thee, glory3519 to the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 and make5414 confession8426 unto him; and tell5046 me now what thou hast done;6213 hide3582it not from me.
20 And Achan5912 answered6030 Joshua,3091 and said,559 Indeed546 I have sinned2398 against the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 and thus and thus have I done:621321 When I saw7200 among the spoils7998 a259 goodly2896 Babylonish8152 garment,155 and two hundred3967 shekels8255 of silver,3701 and a259 wedge3956{Heb. tongue} of gold2091 of fifty2572 shekels8255 weight,4948 then I coveted2530 them, and took3947 them; and, behold, they are hid2934 in the earth776 in the midst8432 of my tent,168 and the silver3701 under it.
Joshua 7:22 So Joshua3091 sent7971 messengers,4397 and they ran7323 unto the tent;168 and, behold, itwas hid2934 in his tent,168 and the silver3701 under it.
23 And they took3947 them out of the midst8432 of the tent,168 and brought935 them unto Joshua,3091 and unto all the children1121 of Israel,3478 and laid{Heb. powered} them out3332 before6440 the LORD.306824 And Joshua,3091 and all Israel3478 with him, took3947 Achan5912 the son1121 of Zerah,2226 and the silver,3701 and the garment,155 and the wedge3956 of gold,2091 and his sons,1121 and his daughters,1323 and his oxen,7794 and his asses,2543 and his sheep,6629 and his tent,168 and all that he had: and they brought5927 them unto the valley6010 of Achor.591125 And Joshua3091 said,559 Why4100 hast thou troubled5916 us? the LORD3068 shall trouble5916 thee this day.3117 And all Israel3478 stoned7275 him with stones,68 and burned8313 them with fire,784 after they had stoned5619 them with stones.6826 And they raised6965 over him a great1419 heap1530 of stones68 unto this day.3117 So the LORD3068 turned7725 from the fierceness2740 of his anger.639 Wherefore the name8034 of that place4725 was called,7121 The valley6010 of Achor,5911{That is, trouble} unto this day.3117
