Joshua

Chapter 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 of4480 the accursed thing:2764 and the anger639 of the LORD3068 was kindled2734 against the children1121 of Israel.3478

2 And Joshua3091 sent7971 men376 from Jericho4480 3405 to Ai,5857 which834 is beside5973 Beth-aven,1007 on the east side4480 6924 of Bethel,1008 and spoke559 unto413 them, saying,559 Go up5927 and view7270 853 the country.776 And the men376 went up5927 and viewed7270 853 Ai.5857

3 And they returned7725 to413 Joshua,3091 and said559 unto413 him, Let not408 all3605 the people5971 go up;5927 but let about two505 or176 three7969 thousand505 men376 go up5927 and smite5221 853 Ai;5857 and make not408 853 all3605 the people5971 to labor3021 thither;8033 for3588 they1992 are but few.4592

4 So there went up5927 thither8033 of4480 the people5971 about three7969 thousand505 men:376 and they fled5127 before6440 the men376 of Ai.5857

5 And the men376 of Ai5857 smote5221 of4480 them about thirty7970 and six8337 men:376 for they chased7291 them from before6440 the gate8179 even unto5704 Shebarim,7671 and smote5221 them in the going down:4174 wherefore the hearts3824 of the people5971 melted,4549 and became1961 as water.4325

6 And Joshua3091 rent7167 his clothes,8071 and fell5307 to the earth776 upon5921 his face6440 before6440 the ark727 of the LORD3068 until5704 the eventide,6153 he1931 and the elders2205 of Israel,3478 and put5927 dust6083 upon5921 their heads.7218

7 And Joshua3091 said,559 Alas,162 O Lord136 GOD,3069 wherefore4100 hast thou at all brought5674 5674 853 this2088 people5971 over5674 853 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!3383

8 O994 Lord,136 what4100 shall I say,559 when310 834 Israel3478 turneth2015 their backs6203 before6440 their enemies!341

9 For the Canaanites3669 and all3605 the inhabitants3427 of the land776 shall hear8085 of it, and shall environ us round,5437 5921 and cut off3772 853 our name8034 from4480 the earth:776 and what4100 wilt thou do6213 unto thy great1419 name?8034

10 And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 Joshua,3091 Get thee up;6965 wherefore4100 liest5307 thou859 thus2088 upon5921 thy face?6440

11 Israel3478 hath sinned,2398 and they have also1571 transgressed5674 853 my covenant1285 which834 I commanded6680 them: for they have even1571 taken3947 of4480 the accursed thing,2764 and have also1571 stolen,1589 and dissembled3584 also,1571 and they have put7760 it even1571 among their own stuff.3627

12 Therefore the children1121 of Israel3478 could3201 not3808 stand6965 before6440 their enemies,341 but turned6437 their backs6203 before6440 their enemies,341 because3588 they were1961 accursed:2764 neither3808 will I be1961 with5973 you any more,3254 except518 3808 ye destroy8045 the accursed2764 from among4480 7130 you.

13 Up,6965 sanctify6942 853 the people,5971 and say,559 Sanctify yourselves6942 against tomorrow:4279 for3588 thus3541 saith559 the Lord3068 God430 of Israel.3478 There is an accursed thing2764 in the midst7130 of thee, O Israel:3478 thou canst3201 not3808 stand6965 before6440 thine enemies,341 until5704 ye take away5493 the accursed thing2764 from among4480 7130 you.

14 In the morning1242 therefore ye shall be brought7126 according to your tribes:7626 and it shall be,1961 that the tribe7626 which834 the LORD3068 taketh3920 shall come7126 according to the families4940 thereof; and the family4940 which834 the LORD3068 shall take3920 shall come7126 by households;1004 and the household1004 which834 the LORD3068 shall take3920 shall come7126 man by man.1397

15 And it shall be,1961 that he that is taken3920 with the accursed thing2764 shall be burnt8313 with fire,784 he and all3605 that834 he hath: because3588 he hath transgressed5674 853 the covenant1285 of the LORD,3068 and because3588 he hath wrought6213 folly5039 in Israel.3478

16 So Joshua3091 rose up early7925 in the morning,1242 and brought7126 853 Israel3478 by their tribes;7626 and the tribe7626 of Judah3063 was taken: 3920

17 And he brought7126 853 the family4940 of Judah;3063 and he took3920 853 the family4940 of the Zarhites:2227 and he brought7126 853 the family4940 of the Zarhites2227 man by man;1397 and Zabdi2067 was taken: 3920

18 And he brought7126 853 his household1004 man 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.3920

19 And Joshua3091 said559 unto413 Achan,5912 My son,1121 give,7760 I pray thee,4994 glory3519 to the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 and make5414 confession8426 unto him; and tell5046 me now4994 what4100 thou hast done;6213 hide3582 it not408 from4480 me.

20 And Achan5912 answered6030 853 Joshua,3091 and said,559 Indeed546 I595 have sinned2398 against the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 and thus2063 and thus2063 have I done: 6213

21 When I saw7200 among the spoils7998 a259 goodly2896 Babylonish8152 garment,155 and two hundred3967 shekels8255 of silver,3701 and a259 wedge3956 of gold2091 of fifty2572 shekels8255 weight,4948 then I coveted2530 them, and took3947 them; and, behold,2009 they are hid2934 in the earth776 in the midst8432 of my tent,168 and the silver3701 under8478 it.

22 So Joshua3091 sent7971 messengers,4397 and they ran7323 unto the tent;168 and, behold,2009 it was hid2934 in his tent,168 and the silver3701 under8478 it.

23 And they took3947 them out of the midst4480 8432 of the tent,168 and brought935 them unto413 Joshua,3091 and unto413 all3605 the children1121 of Israel,3478 and laid them out3332 before6440 the LORD.3068

24 And Joshua,3091 and all3605 Israel3478 with5973 him, took3947 853 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 all3605 that834 he had: and they brought5927 them unto the valley6010 of Achor.5911

25 And Joshua3091 said,559 Why4100 hast thou troubled5916 us? the LORD3068 shall trouble5916 thee this2088 day.3117 And all3605 Israel3478 stoned5619 him with stones,68 and burned8313 them with fire,784 after they had stoned7275 them with stones.68

26 And they raised6965 over5921 him a great1419 heap1530 of stones68 unto5704 this2088 day.3117 So the LORD3068 turned7725 from the fierceness4480 2740 of his anger.639 Wherefore5921 3651 the name8034 of that1931 place4725 was called,7121 The valley6010 of Achor,5911 unto5704 this2088 day.3117

Joshua

Chapter 7

1 BUT the children of Israel committed a trespass in the devoted things; for Achar, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things, and hid them; and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.

2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aon, on the east side of Beth-el, and said to them, Go up and spy out the land. And the men went up and spied out Ai.

3 And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up, and destroy Ai; and do not send all the people there, for the men of Ai are but few.

4 So there went up about three thousand men; and they fled before the men of Ai.

5 And the men of Ai smote thirty-six of the Israelites; and they chased them from before the gate until they were defeated, and they smote them with a great slaughter; wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

6 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.

7 And Joshua said, Alas, O LORD God, why hast thou brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites? Would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan!

8 Now, what shall I say, when Israel has turned their backs before their enemies!

9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall gather together against us, and cut off our name from the face of the earth; and what wilt thou do to thy great name?

10 And the LORD said to Joshua, Get up; why do you lie upon your face on the earth?

11 Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed the commandment which I commanded them; for they have even taken some of the devoted things, and have also stolen, and lied, and they have hidden them among their own stuff.

12 Therefore the children of Israel cannot stand again before their enemies, but they shall turn their backs before their enemies, because they are accursed; neither will I be with you any more, unless you remove the curse from among you.

13 Up, summon this people, and say, Be ready tomorrow; for thus says the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of you, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies any more until you remove the accursed thing from among you.

14 In the morning therefore you shall be brought near according to your tribes; and it shall be that the tribe which the LORD takes shall come by families; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.

15 And it shall be that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has; because he has transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and because he has done wickedness in Israel.

16 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought forward Israel by tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken;

17 And he brought the tribe of Judah by families; and the family of the Zarhites was taken; and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken.

18 Then he brought his household man by man; and Achar, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

19 And Joshua said to Achar, Give glory to the LORD God of Israel, and give praise to him; and tell me now what you have done; and do not hide it from me.

20 Achar answered Joshua, and said, Truly I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and this is what I did:

21 When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonian tapestry and two hundred shekels of silver and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, then I coveted them and took them; and, behold, they are hidden in the earth inside of my tent, and the silver under it.

22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to his tent, and, behold, it was hidden in his tent, and the silver under it.

23 And they took them out of his tent, and brought them to Joshua and to all the people of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD.

24 And Joshua and all Israel with him took Achar the son of Zerah and the silver and the tapestry and the wedge of gold and his sons and his daughters and his oxen and his asses and his sheep and his tent and all that he had; and they brought them to the valley of Achar.

25 And Joshua said to him, Why have you troubled us? The LORD shall trouble you this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, both him and all that he had, and burned them with fire.

26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones which remain to this day. So the LORD turned from his fierce anger. Therefore the name of that place is called the Valley of Achar, to this day.

Chapter 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 of4480 the accursed thing:2764 and the anger639 of the LORD3068 was kindled2734 against the children1121 of Israel.3478

1 BUT the children of Israel committed a trespass in the devoted things; for Achar, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things, and hid them; and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.

2 And Joshua3091 sent7971 men376 from Jericho4480 3405 to Ai,5857 which834 is beside5973 Beth-aven,1007 on the east side4480 6924 of Bethel,1008 and spoke559 unto413 them, saying,559 Go up5927 and view7270 853 the country.776 And the men376 went up5927 and viewed7270 853 Ai.5857

2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aon, on the east side of Beth-el, and said to them, Go up and spy out the land. And the men went up and spied out Ai.

3 And they returned7725 to413 Joshua,3091 and said559 unto413 him, Let not408 all3605 the people5971 go up;5927 but let about two505 or176 three7969 thousand505 men376 go up5927 and smite5221 853 Ai;5857 and make not408 853 all3605 the people5971 to labor3021 thither;8033 for3588 they1992 are but few.4592

3 And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up, and destroy Ai; and do not send all the people there, for the men of Ai are but few.

4 So there went up5927 thither8033 of4480 the people5971 about three7969 thousand505 men:376 and they fled5127 before6440 the men376 of Ai.5857

4 So there went up about three thousand men; and they fled before the men of Ai.

5 And the men376 of Ai5857 smote5221 of4480 them about thirty7970 and six8337 men:376 for they chased7291 them from before6440 the gate8179 even unto5704 Shebarim,7671 and smote5221 them in the going down:4174 wherefore the hearts3824 of the people5971 melted,4549 and became1961 as water.4325

5 And the men of Ai smote thirty-six of the Israelites; and they chased them from before the gate until they were defeated, and they smote them with a great slaughter; wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

6 And Joshua3091 rent7167 his clothes,8071 and fell5307 to the earth776 upon5921 his face6440 before6440 the ark727 of the LORD3068 until5704 the eventide,6153 he1931 and the elders2205 of Israel,3478 and put5927 dust6083 upon5921 their heads.7218

6 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.

7 And Joshua3091 said,559 Alas,162 O Lord136 GOD,3069 wherefore4100 hast thou at all brought5674 5674 853 this2088 people5971 over5674 853 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!3383

7 And Joshua said, Alas, O LORD God, why hast thou brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites? Would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan!

8 O994 Lord,136 what4100 shall I say,559 when310 834 Israel3478 turneth2015 their backs6203 before6440 their enemies!341

8 Now, what shall I say, when Israel has turned their backs before their enemies!

9 For the Canaanites3669 and all3605 the inhabitants3427 of the land776 shall hear8085 of it, and shall environ us round,5437 5921 and cut off3772 853 our name8034 from4480 the earth:776 and what4100 wilt thou do6213 unto thy great1419 name?8034

9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall gather together against us, and cut off our name from the face of the earth; and what wilt thou do to thy great name?

10 And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 Joshua,3091 Get thee up;6965 wherefore4100 liest5307 thou859 thus2088 upon5921 thy face?6440

10 And the LORD said to Joshua, Get up; why do you lie upon your face on the earth?

11 Israel3478 hath sinned,2398 and they have also1571 transgressed5674 853 my covenant1285 which834 I commanded6680 them: for they have even1571 taken3947 of4480 the accursed thing,2764 and have also1571 stolen,1589 and dissembled3584 also,1571 and they have put7760 it even1571 among their own stuff.3627

11 Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed the commandment which I commanded them; for they have even taken some of the devoted things, and have also stolen, and lied, and they have hidden them among their own stuff.

12 Therefore the children1121 of Israel3478 could3201 not3808 stand6965 before6440 their enemies,341 but turned6437 their backs6203 before6440 their enemies,341 because3588 they were1961 accursed:2764 neither3808 will I be1961 with5973 you any more,3254 except518 3808 ye destroy8045 the accursed2764 from among4480 7130 you.

12 Therefore the children of Israel cannot stand again before their enemies, but they shall turn their backs before their enemies, because they are accursed; neither will I be with you any more, unless you remove the curse from among you.

13 Up,6965 sanctify6942 853 the people,5971 and say,559 Sanctify yourselves6942 against tomorrow:4279 for3588 thus3541 saith559 the Lord3068 God430 of Israel.3478 There is an accursed thing2764 in the midst7130 of thee, O Israel:3478 thou canst3201 not3808 stand6965 before6440 thine enemies,341 until5704 ye take away5493 the accursed thing2764 from among4480 7130 you.

13 Up, summon this people, and say, Be ready tomorrow; for thus says the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of you, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies any more until you remove the accursed thing from among you.

14 In the morning1242 therefore ye shall be brought7126 according to your tribes:7626 and it shall be,1961 that the tribe7626 which834 the LORD3068 taketh3920 shall come7126 according to the families4940 thereof; and the family4940 which834 the LORD3068 shall take3920 shall come7126 by households;1004 and the household1004 which834 the LORD3068 shall take3920 shall come7126 man by man.1397

14 In the morning therefore you shall be brought near according to your tribes; and it shall be that the tribe which the LORD takes shall come by families; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.

15 And it shall be,1961 that he that is taken3920 with the accursed thing2764 shall be burnt8313 with fire,784 he and all3605 that834 he hath: because3588 he hath transgressed5674 853 the covenant1285 of the LORD,3068 and because3588 he hath wrought6213 folly5039 in Israel.3478

15 And it shall be that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has; because he has transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and because he has done wickedness in Israel.

16 So Joshua3091 rose up early7925 in the morning,1242 and brought7126 853 Israel3478 by their tribes;7626 and the tribe7626 of Judah3063 was taken: 3920

16 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought forward Israel by tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken;

17 And he brought7126 853 the family4940 of Judah;3063 and he took3920 853 the family4940 of the Zarhites:2227 and he brought7126 853 the family4940 of the Zarhites2227 man by man;1397 and Zabdi2067 was taken: 3920

17 And he brought the tribe of Judah by families; and the family of the Zarhites was taken; and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken.

18 And he brought7126 853 his household1004 man 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.3920

18 Then he brought his household man by man; and Achar, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

19 And Joshua3091 said559 unto413 Achan,5912 My son,1121 give,7760 I pray thee,4994 glory3519 to the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 and make5414 confession8426 unto him; and tell5046 me now4994 what4100 thou hast done;6213 hide3582 it not408 from4480 me.

19 And Joshua said to Achar, Give glory to the LORD God of Israel, and give praise to him; and tell me now what you have done; and do not hide it from me.

20 And Achan5912 answered6030 853 Joshua,3091 and said,559 Indeed546 I595 have sinned2398 against the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 and thus2063 and thus2063 have I done: 6213

20 Achar answered Joshua, and said, Truly I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and this is what I did:

21 When I saw7200 among the spoils7998 a259 goodly2896 Babylonish8152 garment,155 and two hundred3967 shekels8255 of silver,3701 and a259 wedge3956 of gold2091 of fifty2572 shekels8255 weight,4948 then I coveted2530 them, and took3947 them; and, behold,2009 they are hid2934 in the earth776 in the midst8432 of my tent,168 and the silver3701 under8478 it.

21 When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonian tapestry and two hundred shekels of silver and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, then I coveted them and took them; and, behold, they are hidden in the earth inside of my tent, and the silver under it.

22 So Joshua3091 sent7971 messengers,4397 and they ran7323 unto the tent;168 and, behold,2009 it was hid2934 in his tent,168 and the silver3701 under8478 it.

22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to his tent, and, behold, it was hidden in his tent, and the silver under it.

23 And they took3947 them out of the midst4480 8432 of the tent,168 and brought935 them unto413 Joshua,3091 and unto413 all3605 the children1121 of Israel,3478 and laid them out3332 before6440 the LORD.3068

23 And they took them out of his tent, and brought them to Joshua and to all the people of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD.

24 And Joshua,3091 and all3605 Israel3478 with5973 him, took3947 853 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 all3605 that834 he had: and they brought5927 them unto the valley6010 of Achor.5911

24 And Joshua and all Israel with him took Achar the son of Zerah and the silver and the tapestry and the wedge of gold and his sons and his daughters and his oxen and his asses and his sheep and his tent and all that he had; and they brought them to the valley of Achar.

25 And Joshua3091 said,559 Why4100 hast thou troubled5916 us? the LORD3068 shall trouble5916 thee this2088 day.3117 And all3605 Israel3478 stoned5619 him with stones,68 and burned8313 them with fire,784 after they had stoned7275 them with stones.68

25 And Joshua said to him, Why have you troubled us? The LORD shall trouble you this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, both him and all that he had, and burned them with fire.

26 And they raised6965 over5921 him a great1419 heap1530 of stones68 unto5704 this2088 day.3117 So the LORD3068 turned7725 from the fierceness4480 2740 of his anger.639 Wherefore5921 3651 the name8034 of that1931 place4725 was called,7121 The valley6010 of Achor,5911 unto5704 this2088 day.3117

26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones which remain to this day. So the LORD turned from his fierce anger. Therefore the name of that place is called the Valley of Achar, to this day.
