Joshua 7:6-15

6And JoshuaH3091 toreH7167 his clothesH8071, and fellH5307 to the earthH776 upon his faceH6440 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 until the eveningH6153, he and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, and putH5927 dustH6083 upon their headsH7218. 7And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, Alas, OH162 LordH136 GODH3069, why hast thou at allH5674 broughtH5674 this peopleH5971 overH5674 JordanH3383, to deliverH5414 us into the handH3027 of the AmoritesH567, to destroyH6 us? O thatH3863 we had been contentH2974, and dweltH3427 on the other sideH5676 of JordanH3383! 8OH994 LordH136, what shall I sayH559, whenH310 IsraelH3478 turnethH2015 their backsH6203 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341!1 9For the CanaanitesH3669 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 shall hearH8085 of it, and shall surround usH5437, and cut offH3772 our nameH8034 from the earthH776: and what wilt thou doH6213 to thy greatH1419 nameH8034?

10And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to JoshuaH3091, AriseH6965; why liestH5307 thou thus upon thy faceH6440?2 11IsraelH3478 hath sinnedH2398, and they have also transgressedH5674 my covenantH1285 which I commandedH6680 them: for they have even takenH3947 of the accursed thingH2764, and have also stolenH1589, and deceivedH3584 also, and they have putH7760 it even among their own goodsH3627. 12Therefore the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 couldH3201 not standH6965 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, but turnedH6437 their backsH6203 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, because they were accursedH2764: neither will I be with you any moreH3254, exceptH3808 ye destroyH8045 the accursedH2764 from amongH7130 you. 13RiseH6965, sanctifyH6942 the peopleH5971, and sayH559, SanctifyH6942 yourselves for to morrowH4279: for thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, There is an accursed thingH2764 in the midstH7130 of thee, O IsraelH3478: thou canstH3201 not standH6965 beforeH6440 thy enemiesH341, until ye take awayH5493 the accursed thingH2764 from amongH7130 you. 14In the morningH1242 therefore ye shall be broughtH7126 according to your tribesH7626: and it shall be, that the tribeH7626 which the LORDH3068 takethH3920 shall comeH7126 according to their familiesH4940; and the familyH4940 which the LORDH3068 shall takeH3920 shall comeH7126 by householdsH1004; and the householdH1004 which the LORDH3068 shall takeH3920 shall comeH7126 manH1397 by manH1397. 15And it shall be, that he that is takenH3920 with the accursed thingH2764 shall be burntH8313 with fireH784, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressedH5674 the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, and because he hath wroughtH6213 follyH5039 in IsraelH3478.3
