Joshua 7:6-15
6Then JoshuaH3091 toreH7167 his clothesH8071 and fellH5307 facedownH6440H776 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 untilH5704 eveningH6153H1931, as did the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478; and they all sprinkledH5927 dustH6083 onH5921 their headsH7218.
7“OH162, LordH136 GODH3069,” JoshuaH3091 saidH559, “whyH4100 did You ever bringH5674 thisH2088 peopleH5971 across the JordanH3383 to deliverH5414 usH853 into the handH3027 of the AmoritesH567 to be destroyedH6? If onlyH3863 we had been contentH2974 to stayH3427 on the other sideH5676 of the JordanH3383! 8OH994 LordH136, whatH4100 can I sayH559, now thatH310 IsraelH3478 has turnedH2015 its backH6203 and run fromH6440 its enemiesH341? 9When the CanaanitesH3669 and allH3605 who liveH3427 in the landH776 hear about thisH8085, they will surroundH5437 usH5921 and wipe outH3772 our nameH8034 fromH4480 the earthH776. Then whatH4100 will You doH6213 for Your greatH1419 nameH8034?”
10But the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 JoshuaH3091, “Stand upH6965! WhyH4100H2088 have youH859 fallenH5307 onH5921 your faceH6440? 11IsraelH3478 has sinnedH2398; they have transgressedH5674 My covenantH1285 thatH834 I commandedH6680 themH853, and theyH1571 have takenH3947 some ofH4480 what was devoted to destructionH2764. IndeedH1571, they have stolenH1589 andH1571 liedH3584, andH1571 they have putH7760 these things with their own possessionsH3627. 12This is why the IsraelitesH1121H3478 cannotH3808H3201 standH6965 againstH6440 their enemiesH341. They will turnH6437 their backsH6203 and run fromH6440 their enemiesH341, becauseH3588 they themselves have beenH1961 set apart for destructionH2764. I will noH3808 longerH3254 beH1961 withH5973 you unlessH518H3808 you removeH8045 from among youH7130 whatever is devoted to destructionH2764.
13Get upH6965 and consecrateH6942 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, ‘Consecrate yourselvesH6942 for tomorrowH4279, forH3588 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, saysH559: Among youH7130, O IsraelH3478, there are things devoted to destructionH2764. You cannotH3808H3201 standH6965 againstH6440 your enemiesH341 untilH5704 you removeH5493 them. 14In the morningH1242 you must present yourselvesH7126 tribe by tribeH7626H1961. The tribeH7626 thatH834 the LORDH3068 selectsH3920 shall come forwardH7126 clan by clanH4940, and the clanH4940 thatH834 the LORDH3068 selectsH3920 shall come forwardH7126 family by familyH1004, and the familyH1004 thatH834 the LORDH3068 selectsH3920 shall come forwardH7126 man by manH1397. 15The one who is caughtH3920 with the things devoted to destructionH2764 must be burnedH8313H784, along with allH853 that belongs to himH3605, becauseH3588 he has transgressedH5674 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 and committedH6213 an outrageH5039 in IsraelH3478.’”
