Joshua 7:2-26

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.

7:13

Up
<06965> (8798)_,

sanctify
<06942> (8761)

the people
<05971>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

Sanctify
<06942> (8690)

yourselves against to morrow
<04279>_:

for thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

[There is] an accursed thing
<02764>

in the midst
<07130>

of thee, O Israel
<03478>_:

thou canst
<03201> (8799)

not stand
<06965> (8800)

before
<06440>

thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

until ye take away
<05493> (8687)

the accursed thing
<02764>

from among
<07130>

you.

7:14

In the morning
<01242>

therefore ye shall be brought
<07126> (8738)

according to your tribes
<07626>_:

and it shall be, [that] the tribe
<07626>

which the LORD
<03068>

taketh
<03920> (8799)

shall come
<07126> (8799)

according to the families
<04940>

[thereof]; and the family
<04940>

which the LORD
<03068>

shall take
<03920> (8799)

shall come
<07126> (8799)

by households
<01004>_;

and the household
<01004>

which the LORD
<03068>

shall take
<03920> (8799)

shall come
<07126> (8799)

man
<01397>

by man
<01397>_.

7:15

And it shall be, [that] he that is taken
<03920> (8737)

with the accursed thing
<02764>

shall be burnt
<08313> (8735)

with fire
<0784>_,

he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed
<05674> (8804)

the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and because he hath wrought
<06213> (8804)

folly
<05039>

in Israel
<03478>_.

{folly: or, wickedness}

7:16

So Joshua
<03091>

rose up early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and brought
<07126> (8686)

Israel
<03478>

by their tribes
<07626>_;

and the tribe
<07626>

of Judah
<03063>

was taken
<03920> (8735)_:

7:17

And he brought
<07126> (8686)

the family
<04940>

of Judah
<03063>_;

and he took
<03920> (8799)

the family
<04940>

of the Zarhites
<02227>_:

and he brought
<07126> (8686)

the family
<04940>

of the Zarhites
<02227>

man
<01397>

by man
<01397>_;

and Zabdi
<02067>

was taken
<03920> (8735)_:

7:18

And he brought
<07126> (8686)

his household
<01004>

man
<01397>

by man
<01397>_;

and 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>_,

was taken
<03920> (8735)_.

7:19

And Joshua
<03091>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Achan
<05912>_,

My son
<01121>_,

give
<07760> (8798)_,

I pray thee, glory
<03519>

to the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and make
<05414> (8798)

confession
<08426>

unto him; and tell
<05046> (8685)

me now what thou hast done
<06213> (8804)_;

hide
<03582> (8762)

[it] not from me.

7:20

And Achan
<05912>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Joshua
<03091>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Indeed
<0546>

I have sinned
<02398> (8804)

against the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and thus and thus have I done
<06213> (8804)_:

7:21

When I saw
<07200> (8799)

among the spoils
<07998>

a
<0259>

goodly
<02896>

Babylonish
<08152>

garment
<0155>_,

and two hundred
<03967>

shekels
<08255>

of silver
<03701>_,

and a
<0259>

wedge
<03956>

of gold
<02091>

of fifty
<02572>

shekels
<08255>

weight
<04948>_,

then I coveted
<02530> (8799)

them, and took
<03947> (8799)

them; and, behold, they [are] hid
<02934> (8803)

in the earth
<0776>

in the midst
<08432>

of my tent
<0168>_,

and the silver
<03701>

under it. {wedge: Heb. tongue}

7:22

So Joshua
<03091>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>_,

and they ran
<07323> (8799)

unto the tent
<0168>_;

and, behold, [it was] hid
<02934> (8803)

in his tent
<0168>_,

and the silver
<03701>

under it.

7:23

And they took
<03947> (8799)

them out of the midst
<08432>

of the tent
<0168>_,

and brought
<0935> (8686)

them unto Joshua
<03091>_,

and unto all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and laid them out
<03332> (8686)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_.

{laid: Heb. poured}

7:24

And Joshua
<03091>_,

and all Israel
<03478>

with him, took
<03947> (8799)

Achan
<05912>

the son
<01121>

of Zerah
<02226>_,

and the silver
<03701>_,

and the garment
<0155>_,

and the wedge
<03956>

of gold
<02091>_,

and his sons
<01121>_,

and his daughters
<01323>_,

and his oxen
<07794>_,

and his asses
<02543>_,

and his sheep
<06629>_,

and his tent
<0168>_,

and all that he had: and they brought
<05927> (8686)

them unto the valley
<06010>

of Achor
<05911>_.

7:25

And Joshua
<03091>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Why
<04100>

hast thou troubled
<05916> (8804)

us? the LORD
<03068>

shall trouble
<05916> (8799)

thee this day
<03117>_.

And all Israel
<03478>

stoned
<07275> (8799)

him with stones
<068>_,

and burned
<08313> (8799)

them with fire
<0784>_,

after they had stoned
<05619> (8799)

them with stones
<068>_.

7:26

And they raised
<06965> (8686)

over him a great
<01419>

heap
<01530>

of stones
<068>

unto this day
<03117>_.

So the LORD
<03068>

turned
<07725> (8799)

from the fierceness
<02740>

of his anger
<0639>_.

Wherefore the name
<08034>

of that place
<04725>

was called
<07121> (8804)_,

The valley
<06010>

of Achor
<05911>_,

unto this day
<03117>_.

{Achor: that is, Trouble}
