Joshua 7:1-5

11But the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 actedH4603 unfaithfullyH4603H4604 regarding the thingsH2764 designatedH2764 forH2764 destructionH2764, for AchanH5912, the sonH1121 of CarmiH3756, the sonH1121 of ZabdiH2067, the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226, from the tribeH4294 of JudahH3063, tookH3947 someH4480 of the designatedH2764 thingsH2764; 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 upH5927 and spyH7270 outH7270 the landH776.” So the menH376 wentH5927 upH5927 and spiedH7270 outH7270 AiH5857. 3Then they returnedH7725 to JoshuaH3091 and saidH559 to him, “Do not have allH3605 the peopleH5971 goH5927 upH5927; have only about two orH176 threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 goH5927 upH5927 and attackH5221 AiH5857; do not troubleH3021 allH3605 the peopleH5971 thereH8033, for they are fewH4592.” 4So about threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 from the peopleH5971 wentH5927 upH5927 thereH8033, but 4they fledH5127 5from the menH376 of AiH5857. 5And the menH376 of AiH5857 struckH5221 andH5221 killedH5221 about thirty-sixH7970H8337 of their menH376, and pursuedH7291 them 6from the gateH8179 as farH5704 as ShebarimH7671 and struckH5221 them on the mountainsideH4174; and the 7heartsH3824 of the peopleH5971 meltedH4549 and becameH1961 like waterH4325.
