Joshua 7:6-9

Rotherham(i) 6 Then Joshua rent his clothes and fell upon his face to the earth before the ark of Yahweh until the evening, he and the elders of Israel,––and they lifted up dust upon their heads. 7 And Joshua said––Alas! My Lord Yahweh! Wherefore hast thou, brought, this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorite to destroy us? Would then we had been content to dwell on the other side of the Jordan! 8 Oh My Lord,––what shall I say, after Israel have turned their backs before their enemies? 9 Only let the Canaanite and all the inhabitants of the land hear, and they will surround us, and cut off our name out of the earth,––what then wilt thou do for thy great name?
