Joshua 7:1-9

1But the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 committedH4603 a trespassH4604 in the devotedH2764 thing: for AchanH5912, the sonH1121 of CarmiH3756, the sonH1121 of ZabdiH2067, the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226, of the tribeH4294 of JudahH3063, tookH3947 of the devotedH2764 thing: and the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 againstH2734 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.

2And JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 menH376 from JerichoH3405 to AiH5857, whichH834 is besideH413 Beth-aven, on the eastH6924 sideH5973 of Beth-el, and spake unto them, sayingH559, GoH5927 upH5927 and spyH7270 outH7971 the landH776. And the menH376 wentH5927 upH5927 and spiedH7270 outH7971 AiH5857.

3And they returnedH7725 to JoshuaH3091, and saidH559 unto him, LetH408 notH408 allH3605 the peopleH5971 goH5927 upH5927; but letH408 aboutH413 twoH5221 or threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 goH5927 upH5927 and smiteH5221 AiH5857; makeH7725 notH408 allH3605 the peopleH5971 to toilH3021 thither; for they are but fewH4592.

4SoH4480 there wentH5927 upH5927 thither of the peopleH5971 aboutH4480 threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376: and they fledH5127 beforeH6440 the menH376 of AiH5857.

5And the menH376 of AiH5857 smoteH5221 of them aboutH1961 thirtyH7970 and sixH8337 menH376: and they chasedH7291 them from beforeH6440 the gateH8179 evenH5704 unto ShebarimH7671, and smoteH5221 them at the going downH5221: and the heartsH3824 of the peopleH5971 meltedH4549, and becameH1961 as waterH4325.

6And JoshuaH3091 rent his clothesH8071, and fellH5307 to the earthH776 uponH5921 his faceH6440 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 untilH5704 the eveningH6153, he and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478; and they putH5927 dustH6083 uponH5921 their headsH7218.

7And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, AlasH162, O LordH136 GODH136, wherefore hast thou at all broughtH5414 this peopleH5971 over JordanH3383, to deliverH5414 usH5414 intoH3027 the handH3027 of the AmoritesH567, to causeH5414 usH5414 to perishH6? would that we had been content and dweltH3427 beyondH5676 JordanH3383!

8Oh LordH136, whatH4100 shall I sayH559, afterH310 that IsraelH3478 hath turnedH2015 their backsH6203 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341!

9For the CanaanitesH3669 and allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 shall hearH8085 of it, and shall compass usH5921 roundH5437, and cutH3772 offH3772 our nameH8034 from the earthH776: and whatH4100 wilt thou doH6213 for thy greatH1419 nameH8034?
