strkjv@Joshua:7:1
@ 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
.
strkjv@Joshua:7:2
@ And
Joshua
sent
men
from
Jericho
to
Ai
, which is
beside
Bethaven
Beyth, on the east
side
of
Bethel
Beyth-, and
spake
unto them,
saying
, Go
up
and
view
the
country
. And the
men
went
up
and
viewed
Ai
.
strkjv@Joshua:7:3
@ And they
returned
to
Joshua
, and
said
unto him, Let not all the
people
go
up
; but let about two or
three
thousand
men
go
up
and
smite
Ai
; and make not all the
people
to
labour
thither; for they are but
few
m@.
strkjv@Joshua:7:4
@ So there went
up
thither of the
people
about
three
thousand
men
: and they
fled
before
the
men
of
Ai
.
strkjv@Joshua:7:5
@ And the
men
of
Ai
smote
of them about
thirty
and
six
men
: for they
chased
them from
before
the
gate
even unto
Shebarim
, and
smote
them in the going
down
: wherefore the
hearts
of the
people
melted
, and became as
water
.
strkjv@Joshua:7:6
@ And
Joshua
rent
his
clothes
, and
fell
to the
earth
upon his
face
before
the
ark
of the
LORD
until the
eventide
, he and the
elders
of
Israel
, and
put
dust
upon their
heads
.
strkjv@Joshua:7:7
@ And
Joshua
said
, Alas,
O
Lord
GOD
, wherefore hast thou at
all
brought
this
people
over
Jordan
, to
deliver
us into the
hand
of the
Amorites
, to
destroy
us? would to
God
we had been
content
, and
dwelt
on the other
side
Jordan
!
strkjv@Joshua:7:8
@
O
Lord
, what shall I
say
,
when
Israel
turneth
their
backs
before
their
enemies
!
strkjv@Joshua:7:9
@ For the
Canaanites
and all the
inhabitants
of the
land
shall
hear
of it, and shall environ us
round
, and cut
off
our
name
from the
earth
: and what wilt thou
do
unto thy
great
name
?
strkjv@Joshua:7:10
@ And the
LORD
said
unto
Joshua
, Get thee
up
; wherefore
liest
thou thus upon thy
face
?
strkjv@Joshua:7:11
@
Israel
hath
sinned
, and they have also
transgressed
my
covenant
which I
commanded
them: for they have even
taken
of the accursed
thing
, and have also
stolen
, and
dissembled
also, and they have
put
it even among their own
stuff
.
strkjv@Joshua:7:12
@ Therefore the
children
of
Israel
could
not
stand
before
their
enemies
, but
turned
their
backs
before
their
enemies
, because they were
accursed
: neither will I be with you any
more
,
except
ye
destroy
the
accursed
from
among
you.
strkjv@Joshua:7:13
@
Up
,
sanctify
the
people
, and
say
,
Sanctify
yourselves against to
morrow
: for thus
saith
the
LORD
God
of
Israel
, There is an accursed
thing
in the
midst
of thee, O
Israel
: thou
canst
not
stand
before
thine
enemies
, until ye take
away
the accursed
thing
from
among
you.
strkjv@Joshua:7:14
@ In the
morning
therefore ye shall be
brought
according to your
tribes
: and it shall be, that the
tribe
which the
LORD
taketh
shall
come
according to the
families
thereof; and the
family
which the
LORD
shall
take
shall
come
by
households
; and the
household
which the
LORD
shall
take
shall
come
man
by
man
.
strkjv@Joshua:7:15
@ And it shall be, that he that is
taken
with the accursed
thing
shall be
burnt
with
fire
, he and all that he hath: because he hath
transgressed
the
covenant
of the
LORD
, and because he hath
wrought
folly
in
Israel
.
strkjv@Joshua:7:16
@ So
Joshua
rose up
early
in the
morning
, and
brought
Israel
by their
tribes
; and the
tribe
of
Judah
was
taken
:
strkjv@Joshua:7:17
@ And he
brought
the
family
of
Judah
; and he
took
the
family
of the
Zarhites
: and he
brought
the
family
of the
Zarhites
man
by
man
; and
Zabdi
was
taken
:
strkjv@Joshua:7:18
@ And he
brought
his
household
man
by
man
; and
Achan
, the
son
of
Carmi
, the
son
of
Zabdi
, the
son
of
Zerah
, of the
tribe
of
Judah
, was
taken
.
strkjv@Joshua:7:19
@ And
Joshua
said
unto
Achan
, My
son
,
give
, I pray thee,
glory
to the
LORD
God
of
Israel
, and
make
confession
unto him; and
tell
me now what thou hast
done
;
hide
it not from me.
strkjv@Joshua:7:20
@ And
Achan
answered
Joshua
, and
said
,
Indeed
I have
sinned
against the
LORD
God
of
Israel
, and thus and thus have I
done
