CKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

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

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

8 H994 O H136 Lord, H559 what shall I say, H310 when H3478 Israel H2015 turns H6203 their backs H6440 before H341 their enemies!

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

put dust.Rending the clothes, beating the breast, tearing the hair, throwing dust upon the head, and falling prostrate, were usual signs of deep affliction and distress among the ancient Israelites. In illustration of this custom, see 1 Sa 4:12, when the messenger brought tidings to Eli of the discomfiture of the armies of Israel by the Philistines; again, in the case of Tamar, 2 Sa 13:19, and in Ne 9:1, when a whole nation, "assembled with fasting, and with sackcloth, and earth upon them." See also the case of Mordecai, Es 4:1, and Job 2:12, where his friends abased themselves to comfort him; refer also to Eze 27:30. Jon 3:6. Mic 1:10. In each of these instances it is worthy of remark, that putting dust on the head generally follows rending of the clothes, and was the usual mode of evincing poignant sorrow.
