Joshua 7:5-13

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?

10And Jehovah saidH559 to JoshuaH3091, RiseH6965 up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy faceH6440?

11IsraelH3478 hath sinnedH2398, and they have alsoH1571 transgressed my covenantH1285 which I commandedH6680 them, and they have even takenH3947 of the accursed thingH3627, and have alsoH1571 stolenH1589, and dissembled alsoH1571, and they have putH7760 it among their stuff.

12And the children of IsraelH3478 shall not beH1961 ableH3201 to standH6965 before their enemiesH341: they shall turnH6437 their backsH6203 before their enemiesH341, for they have made themselves accursed. I will no more beH1961 with you, except ye destroyH8045 the accursed thing from your midstH7130.

13RiseH6965 up, hallow the peopleH5971, and sayH559, Hallow yourselves for to-morrow; for thusH3541 saith Jehovah the 1GodH430 of IsraelH3478, There is an accursed thing in the midstH7130 of thee, IsraelH3478: thou shalt not be ableH3201 to standH6965 before thine enemiesH341, until ye take awayH5493 the accursed thing from your midstH7130.
