Joshua 7:1-9
11But the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 actedH4603 unfaithfullyH4604 in regard to the thingsH2764 underH2764 the banH2764, for AchanH5912, the sonH1121 of CarmiH3756, the sonH1121 of ZabdiH2067, the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226, from the tribeH4294 of JudahH3063, tookH3947 someH4480 of the thingsH2764 underH2764 the banH2764, therefore the angerH639 of the LordH3068 burnedH2734 against the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.
2Now JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 menH376 from JerichoH3405 to AiH5857, whichH834 is nearH5973 2Beth-avenH1007, eastH6924 of BethelH1008, and saidH559 to them, “3GoH5927 up and spyH7270 out the landH776.” So the menH376 wentH5927 up and spiedH7270 out AiH5857. 3They returnedH7725 to JoshuaH3091 and saidH559 to him, “Do not let allH3605 the peopleH5971 goH5927 up; only about two orH176 threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 need goH5927 up 4to AiH5857; do not make allH3605 the peopleH5971 toilH3021 up thereH8033, for they are fewH4592.” 4So about threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 from the peopleH5971 wentH5927 up thereH8033, but 5they fledH5127 6from the menH376 of AiH5857. 5The menH376 of AiH5857 struckH5221 downH5221 about thirty-sixH7970H8337 of their menH376, and pursuedH7291 them 7from the gateH8179 as farH5704 as ShebarimH7671 and struckH5221 them downH5221 on the descentH4174, so the 8heartsH3824 of the peopleH5971 meltedH4549 and becameH1961 as waterH4325.
6Then JoshuaH3091 9toreH7167 his clothesH8071 and fellH5307 to the earthH776 on his faceH6440 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LordH3068 untilH5704 the eveningH6153, both he and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478; and 10they putH5927 dustH6083 on their headsH7218. 7JoshuaH3091 saidH559, “AlasH162, O LordH136 11GodH3068, whyH4100 did You everH5674 bringH5674 thisH2088 peopleH5971 overH5674 the JordanH3383, only to deliverH5414 us into the handH3027 of the AmoritesH567, to destroyH6 us? IfH3863 onlyH3863 we had been willingH2974 12to dwellH3427 beyondH5676 the JordanH3383! 8OH994 LordH136, whatH4100 can I sayH559 sinceH310 IsraelH3478 has turnedH2015 their 13backH6203 beforeH6440 their enemiesH340? 914For the CanaanitesH3669 and allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 will hearH8085 of it, and they will surroundH5437 us and cutH3772 offH3772 our nameH8034 from the earthH776. And whatH4100 will You doH6213 for Your greatH1419 nameH8034?”
