Joshua 7:1-9
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.
6Then JoshuaH3091 8toreH7167 his clothesH8071 and fellH5307 to the groundH776 on his faceH6440 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LordH3068 untilH5704 the eveningH6153, both he and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478; and 9they putH5927 dustH6083 on their headsH7218. 7And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, “OhH162, LordH136 10GodH3068! WhyH4100 did You everH5674 bringH5674 thisH2088 peopleH5971 acrossH5674 the JordanH3383, only to handH3027H5414 us overH5414 to the AmoritesH567, to eliminateH6 us? IfH3863 onlyH3863 we had beenH2974 willingH2974 11to liveH3427 beyondH5676 the JordanH3383! 8OH994 LordH136, whatH4100 can I sayH559 sinceH310 IsraelH3478 has turnedH2015 their 12backH6203 beforeH6440 their enemiesH340? 913For the CanaanitesH3669 and allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 will hearH8085 about it, and they will surroundH5437 us and eliminateH3772 our nameH8034 from the earthH776. And whatH4100 will You doH6213 for Your greatH1419 nameH8034?”
