Joshua 7:1-25 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.

AKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H1121 But the children H3478 of Israel H4603 committed H4604 a trespass H2764 in the accursed H5912 thing: for Achan, H1121 the son H3756 of Carmi, H1121 the son H2067 of Zabdi, H1121 the son H2226 of Zerah, H4294 of the tribe H3063 of Judah, H3947 took H2764 of the accursed H639 thing: and the anger H3068 of the LORD H2734 was kindled H1121 against the children H3478 of Israel.

2 H3091 And Joshua H7971 sent H582 men H3405 from Jericho H5857 to Ai, H834 which H5973 is beside H1007 Bethaven, H6924 on the east H1008 of Bethel, H559 and spoke H559 to them, saying, H5927 Go H7270 up and view H776 the country. H582 And the men H5927 went H7270 up and viewed H5857 Ai.

3 H7725 And they returned H3091 to Joshua, H559 and said H3605 to him, Let not all H5971 the people H5927 go H176 up; but let about two or H7969 three H505 thousand H376 men H5927 go H5217 up and smite H5857 Ai; H3605 and make not all H5971 the people H3021 to labor H8033 thither; H4592 for they are but few.

4 H5927 So there went H8033 up thither H5971 of the people H7969 about three H505 thousand H376 men: H5127 and they fled H6440 before H582 the men H5857 of Ai.

5 H582 And the men H5857 of Ai H5221 smote H7970 of them about thirty H8337 and six H376 men: H7291 for they chased H6440 them from before H8179 the gate H7671 even to Shebarim, H5221 and smote H4174 them in the going H4174 down: H3824 why the hearts H5971 of the people H4549 melted, H1961 and became H4325 as water.

6 H3091 And Joshua H7167 rent H8071 his clothes, H5307 and fell H776 to the earth H6440 on his face H6440 before H727 the ark H3068 of the LORD H5704 until H6153 the eventide, H2205 he and the elders H3478 of Israel, H5927 and put H6083 dust H7218 on their heads.

7 H3091 And Joshua H559 said, H162 Alas, H136 O LORD H3069 God, H4100 why H5674 have you at all brought H2088 this H5971 people H5674 over H3383 Jordan, H5414 to deliver H3027 us into the hand H567 of the Amorites, H6 to destroy H3863 us? would H2974 to God we had been content, H3427 and dwelled H5676 on the other H5676 side H3383 Jordan!

8 H136 O LORD, H4100 what H559 shall I say, H6310 when H3478 Israel H2015 turns H6203 their backs H6440 before H341 their enemies!

9 H3669 For the Canaanites H3605 and all H3427 the inhabitants H776 of the land H8085 shall hear H5437 of it, and shall environ H5921 us round, H3772 and cut H8034 off our name H776 from the earth: H4100 and what H6213 will you do H1419 to your great H8034 name?

10 H3068 And the LORD H559 said H3091 to Joshua, H6965 Get H4100 you up; why H5307 lie H2088 you thus H6440 on your face?

11 H3478 Israel H2398 has sinned, H1571 and they have also H5674 transgressed H1285 my covenant H834 which H6680 I commanded H1571 them: for they have even H3947 taken H2764 of the accursed H1571 thing, and have also H1589 stolen, H3584 and dissembled H1571 also, H7760 and they have put H1571 it even H3627 among their own stuff.

12 H1121 Therefore the children H3478 of Israel H3201 could H6965 not stand H6440 before H341 their enemies, H6437 but turned H6203 their backs H6440 before H341 their enemies, H3588 because H2764 they were accursed: H3808 neither H3254 will I be with you any more, H518 except H3808 H8045 you destroy H2764 the accursed H7130 from among you.

13 H6942 Up, sanctify H5971 the people, H559 and say, H6942 Sanctify H4279 yourselves against to morrow: H3541 for thus H559 said H3068 the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel, H2764 There is an accursed H7130 thing in the middle H3478 of you, O Israel: H3201 you can H6965 not stand H6440 before H341 your enemies, H5704 until H5493 you take H2764 away the accursed H7130 thing from among you.

14 H1242 In the morning H7126 therefore you shall be brought H7626 according to your tribes: H7626 and it shall be, that the tribe H834 which H3068 the LORD H3920 takes H7126 shall come H4940 according to the families H4940 thereof; and the family H834 which H3068 the LORD H3920 shall take H7126 shall come H1004 by households; H1004 and the household H834 which H3068 the LORD H3920 shall take H7126 shall come H1397 man H1397 by man.

15 H3920 And it shall be, that he that is taken H2764 with the accursed H8313 thing shall be burnt H784 with fire, H3605 he and all H3588 that he has: because H5674 he has transgressed H1285 the covenant H3068 of the LORD, H3588 and because H6213 he has worked H5039 folly H3478 in Israel.

16 H3091 So Joshua H7925 rose H7925 up early H1242 in the morning, H7126 and brought H3478 Israel H7626 by their tribes; H7626 and the tribe H3063 of Judah H3920 was taken:

17 H7126 And he brought H4940 the family H3063 of Judah; H3920 and he took H4940 the family H2227 of the Zarhites: H7126 and he brought H4940 the family H2227 of the Zarhites H1397 man H1397 by man; H2067 and Zabdi H3920 was taken:

18 H7126 And he brought H1004 his household H1397 man H1397 by man; H5912 and Achan, H1121 the son H3756 of Carmi, H1121 the son H2067 of Zabdi, H1121 the son H2226 of Zerah, H4294 of the tribe H3063 of Judah, H3920 was taken.

19 H3091 And Joshua H559 said H5912 to Achan, H1121 My son, H7760 give, H4994 I pray H3519 you, glory H3068 to the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel, H5414 and make H8426 confession H5046 to him; and tell H4994 me now H4100 what H6213 you have done; H3582 hide it not from me.

20 H5912 And Achan H6030 answered H3091 Joshua, H559 and said, H546 Indeed H2398 I have sinned H3068 against the LORD H430 God H3478 of Israel, H2063 and thus H2063 and thus H6213 have I done:

21 H7200 When I saw H7998 among the spoils H2896 a goodly H8152 Babylonish H155 garment, H3967 and two hundred H8255 shekels H3701 of silver, H3956 and a wedge H2091 of gold H2572 of fifty H8255 shekels H4948 weight, H2530 then I coveted H3947 them, and took H2009 them; and, behold, H2934 they are hid H776 in the earth H8432 in the middle H168 of my tent, H3701 and the silver H8478 under it.

22 H3091 So Joshua H7971 sent H4397 messengers, H7323 and they ran H168 to the tent; H2009 and, behold, H2934 it was hid H168 in his tent, H3701 and the silver H8478 under it.

23 H3947 And they took H8432 them out of the middle H168 of the tent, H935 and brought H3091 them to Joshua, H3605 and to all H1121 the children H3478 of Israel, H3332 and laid H6440 them out before H3068 the LORD.

24 H3091 And Joshua, H3605 and all H3478 Israel H3947 with him, took H5912 Achan H1121 the son H2226 of Zerah, H3701 and the silver, H155 and the garment, H3956 and the wedge H2091 of gold, H1121 and his sons, H1323 and his daughters, H7794 and his oxen, H2543 and his asses, H6629 and his sheep, H168 and his tent, H3605 and all H5927 that he had: and they brought H6010 them to the valley H5911 of Achor.

25 H3091 And Joshua H559 said, H4100 Why H5916 have you troubled H3068 us? the LORD H5916 shall trouble H2088 you this H3117 day. H3605 And all H3478 Israel H5619 stoned H68 him with stones, H8313 and burned H784 them with fire, H7275 after they had stoned H68 them with stones.
