Joshua 7:1-9

1But the children of IsraelH3478 committed unfaithfulnessH4604 in that which had been brought under the curse: AchanH5912, the sonH1121 of CarmiH3756, the sonH1121 of ZabdiH2067, the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226, of the tribeH4294 of JudahH3063, tookH3947 of the accursed thing; and the angerH639 of Jehovah was kindled against the children of IsraelH3478.

2And JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 menH376 from JerichoH3405 to Ai, which is beside Beth-Aven, on the eastH6924 side of Bethel, and spoke to them, sayingH559, GoH5927 up and spyH7270 out the country. And the menH376 wentH5927 up and spiedH7270 out Ai.

3And they returnedH7725 to JoshuaH3091, and saidH559 to him, Let not all the peopleH5971 goH5927 up; let about two or threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 goH5927 up and smite Ai; make not all the peopleH5971 to toil thither, for they are fewH4592.

4And there wentH5927 up thither of the peopleH5971 about threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376, but they fledH5127 before the menH376 of Ai.

5And the menH376 of Ai smote of them about thirty-six menH376; and they pursuedH7291 them from before the gateH8179 to Shebarim, and smote them on the descentH4174. Then the heartsH3824 of the peopleH5971 meltedH4549, and becameH1961 as waterH4325.

6And JoshuaH3091 rent his clothesH8071, and fellH5307 to the earthH776 upon his faceH6440 before the arkH727 of Jehovah until the eveningH6153, he and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and threw dustH6083 upon their headsH7218.

7And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, AlasH162, LordH136 Jehovah, wherefore hast thou at all brought this peopleH5971 over the JordanH3383, to deliver us into the handH3027 of the AmoritesH567, to destroyH6 us? Oh that we had been content and had remainedH3427 beyond the JordanH3383!

8Ah LordH136! what shall I sayH559 after IsraelH3478 have turnedH2015 their backsH6203 before their enemiesH341?

9When the CanaanitesH3669 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 shall hearH8085 [of it], they will surroundH5437 us, and cutH3772 off our nameH8034 from the earthH776. And what wilt thou do unto thy greatH1419 nameH8034?
