Joshua 7:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 But the Israelites disobeyed the command about the city's riches. Achan son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, stole some of the riches. The LORD was furious with the Israelites.
2 Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai (which is located near Beth Aven, east of Bethel) and instructed them, "Go up and spy on the land." So the men went up and spied on Ai.
3 They returned and reported to Joshua, "Don't send the whole army. About two or three thousand men are adequate to defeat Ai. Don't tire out the whole army, for Ai is small."
4 So about three thousand men went up, but they fled from the men of Ai.
5 The men of Ai killed about thirty-six of them and chased them from in front of the city gate all the way to the fissures and defeated them on the steep slope. The people's courage melted away like water.
6 Joshua tore his clothes; he and the leaders of Israel lay face down on the ground before the ark of the LORD until evening and threw dirt on their heads.
7 Joshua prayed, "O, Master, LORD! Why did you bring these people across the Jordan to hand us over to the Amorites so they could destroy us?
8 If only we had been satisfied to live on the other side of the Jordan! O Lord, what can I say now that Israel has retreated before its enemies?
9 When the Canaanites and all who live in the land hear about this, they will turn against us and destroy the very memory of us from the earth. What will you do to protect your great reputation?"
10 The LORD responded to Joshua, "Get up! Why are you lying there face down?
11 Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenantal commandment! They have taken some of the riches; they have stolen them and deceitfully put them among their own possessions.
12 The Israelites are unable to stand before their enemies; they retreat because they have become subject to annihilation. I will no longer be with you, unless you destroy what has contaminated you.
13 Get up! Ritually consecrate the people and tell them this: 'Ritually consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, because the LORD God of Israel says, "You are contaminated, O Israel! You will not be able to stand before your enemies until you remove what is contaminating you."
14 In the morning you must approach in tribal order. The tribe the LORD selects must approach by clans. The clan the LORD selects must approach by families. The family the LORD selects must approach man by man.
15 The one caught with the riches must be burned up along with all who belong to him, because he violated the LORD's covenant and did such a disgraceful thing in Israel.'"
16 Bright and early the next morning Joshua made Israel approach in tribal order and the tribe of Judah was selected.
17 He then made the clans of Judah approach and the clan of the Zerahites was selected. He made the clan of the Zerahites approach and Zabdi was selected.
18 He then made Zabdi's family approach man by man and Achan son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, was selected.
19 So Joshua said to Achan, "My son, honor the LORD God of Israel and give him praise! Tell me what you did; don't hide anything from me!"
20 Achan told Joshua, "It is true. I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel in this way:
21 I saw among the goods we seized a nice robe from Babylon, two hundred silver pieces, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels. I wanted them, so I took them. They are hidden in the ground right in the middle of my tent with the silver underneath."
22 Joshua sent messengers who ran to the tent. The things were hidden right in his tent, with the silver underneath.
23 They took it all from the middle of the tent, brought it to Joshua and all the Israelites, and placed it before the LORD.
24 Then Joshua and all Israel took Achan, son of Zerah, along with the silver, the robe, the bar of gold, his sons, daughters, ox, donkey, sheep, tent, and all that belonged to him and brought them up to the Valley of Disaster.
25 Joshua said, "Why have you brought disaster on us? The LORD will bring disaster on you today!" All Israel stoned him to death. (They also stoned and burned the others.)
26 Then they erected over him a large pile of stones (it remains to this very day) and the LORD's anger subsided. So that place is called the Valley of Disaster to this very day.
1 But the children H1121 of Israel H3478 committed H4603 a trespass H4604 in the accursed thing H2764 : for Achan H5912 , the son H1121 CMS of Carmi H3756 , the son H1121 CMS of Zabdi H2067 , the son H1121 of Zerah H2226 , of the tribe H4294 of Judah H3063 , took H3947 W-VQY3MS of H4480 PREP the accursed thing H2764 : and the anger H639 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS was kindled H2734 against the children H1121 of Israel H3478 LMS .
2 And Joshua H3091 sent H7971 W-VQY3MS men H376 NMP from Jericho H3405 to Ai H5857 , which H834 RPRO is beside H5973 PREP Beth H1007 - aven , on the east side H6924 M-NMS of Bethel H1008 LFS , and spoke H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MP them , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , Go up H5927 and view H7270 the country H776 D-GFS . And the men H376 D-NMP went up H5927 and viewed H7270 Ai H5857 D-EFS .
3 And they returned H7725 W-VUY3MP to H413 PREP Joshua H3091 , and said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Let not H408 NPAR all H3605 NMS the people H5971 go up H5927 ; but let about two H505 or H176 CONJ three H7969 thousand H505 MMP men H376 NMS go up H5927 and smite H5221 Ai H5857 ; and make not H408 NPAR all H3605 NMS the people H5971 to labor H3021 thither H8033 ADV-3FS ; for H3588 CONJ they H1992 are but few H4592 AMS .
4 So there went up H5927 thither H8033 ADV-3FS of H4480 PREP the people H5971 about three H7969 thousand H505 MMP men H376 NMS : and they fled H5127 W-VQY3MP before H6440 L-CMP the men H376 NMS of Ai H5857 D-EFS .
5 And the men H376 NMS of Ai H5857 smote H5221 W-VHY3MP of H4480 them about thirty H7970 and six H8337 men H376 NMS : for they chased H7291 them from before H6440 L-CMP the gate H8179 even unto H5704 PREP Shebarim H7671 , and smote H5221 them in the going down H4174 : wherefore the hearts H3824 of the people H5971 melted H4549 , and became H1961 W-VQY3MS as water H4325 .
6 And Joshua H3091 rent H7167 W-VQY3MS his clothes H8071 , and fell H5307 W-VQY3MS to the earth H776 NFS-3FS upon H5921 PREP his face H6440 L-CMP before H6440 L-CMP the ark H727 of the LORD H3068 EDS until H5704 PREP the eventide H6153 , he H1931 PPRO-3MS and the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 , and put H5927 dust H6083 NMS upon H5921 PREP their heads H7218 .
7 And Joshua H3091 said H559 W-VQY3MS , Alas H162 , O Lord H136 EDS GOD H3069 , wherefore H4100 L-IGAT hast thou at all brought H5674 this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 over H5674 Jordan H3383 D-EFS , to deliver H5414 L-VQFC us into the hand H3027 B-CFS of the Amorites H567 D-TMS , to destroy H6 us ? would to God H3863 we had been content H2974 , and dwelt H3427 on the other side H5676 Jordan H3383 !
8 O H994 Lord H136 EDS , what H4100 IGAT shall I say H559 VQY1MS , when H310 PREP Israel H3478 turneth H2015 VQQ3MS their backs H6203 before H6440 L-CMP their enemies H341 !
9 For the Canaanites H3669 and all H3605 W-CMS the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 D-GFS shall hear H8085 of it , and shall environ us round H5437 , and cut off H3772 our name H8034 from H4480 PREP the earth H776 D-GFS : and what H4100 wilt thou do H6213 unto thy great H1419 D-AMS name H8034 ?
10 And the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Joshua H3091 , Get thee up H6965 ; wherefore H4100 L-IPRO liest H5307 VQPMS thou H859 PPRO-2MS thus H2088 PMS upon H5921 PREP thy face H6440 CMP-2MS ?
11 Israel H3478 hath sinned H2398 VQQ3MS , and they have also H1571 W-CONJ transgressed H5674 VQQ3MP my covenant H1285 B-CFS-1MS which H834 RPRO I commanded H6680 them : for they have even H1571 W-CONJ taken H3947 of H4480 PREP the accursed thing H2764 , and have also H1571 W-CONJ stolen H1589 , and dissembled H3584 also H1571 W-CONJ , and they have put H7760 VQQ3MP it even H1571 W-CONJ among their own stuff H3627 .
12 Therefore the children H1121 of Israel H3478 could H3201 not H3808 W-NPAR stand H6965 before H6440 L-CMP their enemies H341 , but turned H6437 their backs H6203 before H6440 L-CMP their enemies H341 , because H3588 CONJ they were H1961 VQQ3MP accursed H2764 : neither H3808 W-NPAR will I be H1961 L-VQFC with H5973 PREP-3MP you any more H3254 VHY1MS , except H518 PART ye destroy H8045 the accursed H2764 from among H7130 you .
13 Up H6965 , sanctify H6942 the people H5971 , and say H559 , Sanctify yourselves H6942 against tomorrow H4279 : for H3588 CONJ thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the Lord H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 . There is an accursed thing H2764 in the midst H7130 of thee , O Israel H3478 : thou canst H3201 not H3808 NADV stand H6965 before H6440 L-CMP thine enemies H341 VQPMP-2MS , until H5704 PREP ye take away H5493 the accursed thing H2764 from among H7130 you .
14 In the morning H1242 B-NMS therefore ye shall be brought H7126 according to your tribes H7626 : and it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , that the tribe H7626 which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS taketh H3920 shall come H7126 according to the families H4940 thereof ; and the family H4940 which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS shall take H3920 shall come H7126 by households H1004 ; and the household H1004 which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS shall take H3920 shall come H7126 man by man H1397 .
15 And it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , that he that is taken H3920 with the accursed thing H2764 shall be burnt H8313 with fire H784 , he and all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO he hath : because H3588 CONJ he hath transgressed H5674 VQQ3MS the covenant H1285 NFS of the LORD H3068 EDS , and because H3588 CONJ he hath wrought H6213 VQQ3MS folly H5039 NFS in Israel H3478 .
16 So Joshua H3091 rose up early H7925 in the morning H1242 B-NMS , and brought H7126 Israel H3478 by their tribes H7626 ; and the tribe H7626 CMS of Judah H3063 was taken H3920 :
17 And he brought H7126 the family H4940 of Judah H3063 ; and he took H3920 the family H4940 of the Zarhites H2227 : and he brought H7126 the family H4940 of the Zarhites H2227 man by man H1397 ; and Zabdi H2067 was taken H3920 :
18 And he brought H7126 his household H1004 NMS-3MS man by man H1397 ; and Achan H5912 , the son H1121 CMS of Carmi H3756 , the son H1121 CMS of Zabdi H2067 , the son H1121 CMS of Zerah H2226 , of the tribe H4294 of Judah H3063 , was taken H3920 .
19 And Joshua H3091 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Achan H5912 , My son H1121 NMS-1MS , give H7760 , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , glory H3519 to the LORD H3068 L-EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , and make H5414 confession H8426 unto him ; and tell H5046 me now H4994 IJEC what H4100 IPRO thou hast done H6213 VQQ2MS ; hide H3582 it not H408 NPAR from H4480 PREP-1MS me .
20 And Achan H5912 answered H6030 W-VQY3MS Joshua H3091 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Indeed H546 I H595 PPRO-1MS have sinned H2398 VQQ1MS against the LORD H3068 L-EDS God H430 CDP of Israel H3478 , and thus H2063 and thus H2063 have I done H6213 VQQ1MS :
21 When I saw H7200 among the spoils H7998 a H259 OFS goodly H2896 NFS Babylonish H8152 LFS garment H155 , and two hundred H3967 W-MFD shekels H8255 of silver H3701 NMS , and a H259 MMS wedge H3956 of gold H2091 NMS of fifty H2572 MMP shekels H8255 weight H4948 , then I coveted H2530 them , and took H3947 them ; and , behold H2009 , they are hid H2934 in the earth H776 B-NFS in the midst H8432 B-NMS of my tent H168 , and the silver H3701 under H8478 it .
22 So Joshua H3091 sent H7971 W-VQY3MS messengers H4397 , and they ran H7323 unto the tent H168 ; and , behold H2009 IJEC , it was hid H2934 in his tent H168 B-CMS-3MS , and the silver H3701 under H8478 it .
23 And they took H3947 W-VQY3MS-3MP them out of the midst H8432 of the tent H168 , and brought H935 them unto H413 PREP Joshua H3091 , and unto H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , and laid them out H3332 before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
24 And Joshua H3091 , and all H3605 NMS Israel H3478 with H5973 PREP-3MS him , took H3947 W-VQY3MS Achan H5912 the son H1121 CMP-3MS of Zerah H2226 , and the silver H3701 , and the garment H155 , and the wedge H3956 L-CMS of gold H2091 , and his sons H1121 CMP-3MS , and his daughters H1323 , and his oxen H7794 CMS-3MS , and his asses H2543 , and his sheep H6629 GFS-3MS , and his tent H168 , and all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO he had : and they brought H5927 them unto the valley H6010 CMS of Achor H5911 .
25 And Joshua H3091 said H559 W-VQY3MS , Why H4100 IPRO hast thou troubled H5916 us ? the LORD H3068 EDS shall trouble H5916 thee this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 B-AMS . And all H3605 CMS Israel H3478 stoned H5619 him with stones H68 GFS , and burned H8313 them with fire H784 , after they had stoned H7275 them with stones H68 GFS .
26 And they raised H6965 over H5921 PREP-3MS him a great H1419 AMS heap H1530 NMS of stones H68 NFP unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS . So the LORD H3068 EDS turned H7725 from the fierceness H2740 M-CMS of his anger H639 CMS-3MS . Wherefore H5921 PREP-3MS the name H8034 CMS of that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS place H4725 D-NMS was called H7121 VQQ3MS , The valley H6010 CMS of Achor H5911 , unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS .
