Joshua 7:1-12

7:1

But the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

committed
<04603> (8799)

a trespass
<04604>

in the accursed thing
<02764>_:

for Achan
<05912>_,

the son
<01121>

of Carmi
<03756>_,

the son
<01121>

of Zabdi
<02067>_,

the son
<01121>

of Zerah
<02226>_,

of the tribe
<04294>

of Judah
<03063>_,

took
<03947> (8799)

of the accursed thing
<02764>_:

and the anger
<0639>

of the LORD
<03068>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)

against the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

{Achan: also called, Achar} {Zabdi: also called, Zimri}

7:2

And Joshua
<03091>

sent
<07971> (8799)

men
<0582>

from Jericho
<03405>

to Ai
<05857>_,

which [is] beside
<05973>

Bethaven
<01007>_,

on the east side
<06924>

of Bethel
<01008>_,

and spake
<0559> (8799)

unto them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Go up
<05927> (8798)

and view
<07270> (8761)

the country
<0776>_.

And the men
<0582>

went up
<05927> (8799)

and viewed
<07270> (8762)

Ai
<05857>_.

7:3

And they returned
<07725> (8799)

to Joshua
<03091>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Let not all the people
<05971>

go up
<05927> (8799)_;

but let about two or three
<07969>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>

go up
<05927> (8799)

and smite
<05221> (8686)

Ai
<05857>_;

[and] make not all the people
<05971>

to labour
<03021> (8762)

thither; for they [are but] few
<04592>_.

{about...: Heb. about two thousand men, or, about three thousand men}

7:4

So there went up
<05927> (8799)

thither of the people
<05971>

about three
<07969>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_:

and they fled
<05127> (8799)

before
<06440>

the men
<0582>

of Ai
<05857>_.

7:5

And the men
<0582>

of Ai
<05857>

smote
<05221> (8686)

of them about thirty
<07970>

and six
<08337>

men
<0376>_:

for they chased
<07291> (8799)

them [from] before
<06440>

the gate
<08179>

[even] unto Shebarim
<07671>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

them in the going down
<04174>_:

wherefore the hearts
<03824>

of the people
<05971>

melted
<04549> (8735)_,

and became as water
<04325>_.

{in...: or, in Morad}

7:6

And Joshua
<03091>

rent
<07167> (8799)

his clothes
<08071>_,

and fell
<05307> (8799)

to the earth
<0776>

upon his face
<06440>

before
<06440>

the ark
<0727>

of the LORD
<03068>

until the eventide
<06153>_,

he and the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and put
<05927> (8686)

dust
<06083>

upon their heads
<07218>_.

7:7

And Joshua
<03091>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Alas, O
<0162>

Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

wherefore hast thou at all
<05674> (8687)

brought
<05674> (0)

this people
<05971>

over
<05674> (8689)

Jordan
<03383>_,

to deliver
<05414> (8800)

us into the hand
<03027>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

to destroy
<06> (8687)

us? would to God
<03863>

we had been content
<02974> (8689)_,

and dwelt
<03427> (8799)

on the other side
<05676>

Jordan
<03383>_!

7:8

O
<0994>

Lord
<0136>_,

what shall I say
<0559> (8799)_,

when
<0310>

Israel
<03478>

turneth
<02015> (8804)

their backs
<06203>

before
<06440>

their enemies
<0341> (8802)_!

{backs: Heb. necks}

7:9

For the Canaanites
<03669>

and all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>

shall hear
<08085> (8799)

[of it], and shall environ us round
<05437> (8738)_,

and cut off
<03772> (8689)

our name
<08034>

from the earth
<0776>_:

and what wilt thou do
<06213> (8799)

unto thy great
<01419>

name
<08034>_?

7:10

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

Get thee up
<06965> (8798)_;

wherefore liest
<05307> (8802)

thou thus upon thy face
<06440>_?

{liest: Heb. fallest}

7:11

Israel
<03478>

hath sinned
<02398> (8804)_,

and they have also transgressed
<05674> (8804)

my covenant
<01285>

which I commanded
<06680> (8765)

them: for they have even taken
<03947> (8804)

of the accursed thing
<02764>_,

and have also stolen
<01589> (8804)_,

and dissembled
<03584> (8765)

also, and they have put
<07760> (8804)

[it] even among their own stuff
<03627>_.

7:12

Therefore the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

could
<03201> (8799)

not stand
<06965> (8800)

before
<06440>

their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

[but] turned
<06437> (8799)

[their] backs
<06203>

before
<06440>

their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

because they were accursed
<02764>_:

neither will I be with you any more
<03254> (8686)_,

except
<03808>

ye destroy
<08045> (8686)

the accursed
<02764>

from among
<07130>

you.
