Joshua 7:5-8

5The menH376 of AiH5857 struckH5221 downH5221 about thirty-sixH7970H8337 of their menH376, and pursuedH7291 them 1from the gateH8179 as farH5704 as ShebarimH7671 and struckH5221 them downH5221 on the descentH4174, so the 2heartsH3824 of the peopleH5971 meltedH4549 and becameH1961 as waterH4325.

6Then JoshuaH3091 3toreH7167 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 4they putH5927 dustH6083 on their headsH7218. 7JoshuaH3091 saidH559, “AlasH162, O LordH136 5GodH3068, 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 6to dwellH3427 beyondH5676 the JordanH3383! 8OH994 LordH136, whatH4100 can I sayH559 sinceH310 IsraelH3478 has turnedH2015 their 7backH6203 beforeH6440 their enemiesH340?
