Joshua 7:9 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 But Israel violated the instructions about the things set apart for the LORD. A man named Achan had stolen some of these dedicated things, so the LORD was very angry with the Israelites. Achan was the son of Carmi, a descendant of Zimri son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah.
2 Joshua sent some of his men from Jericho to spy out the town of Ai, east of Bethel, near Beth-aven.
3 When they returned, they told Joshua, "There's no need for all of us to go up there; it won't take more than two or three thousand men to attack Ai. Since there are so few of them, don't make all our people struggle to go up there."
4 So approximately 3,000 warriors were sent, but they were soundly defeated. The men of Ai
5 chased the Israelites from the town gate as far as the quarries, and they killed about thirty-six who were retreating down the slope. The Israelites were paralyzed with fear at this turn of events, and their courage melted away.
6 Joshua and the elders of Israel tore their clothing in dismay, threw dust on their heads, and bowed face down to the ground before the Ark of the LORD until evening.
7 Then Joshua cried out, "Oh, Sovereign LORD, why did you bring us across the Jordan River if you are going to let the Amorites kill us? If only we had been content to stay on the other side!
8 Lord, what can I say now that Israel has fled from its enemies?
9 For when the Canaanites and all the other people living in the land hear about it, they will surround us and wipe our name off the face of the earth. And then what will happen to the honor of your great name?"
10 But the LORD said to Joshua, "Get up! Why are you lying on your face like this?
11 Israel has sinned and broken my covenant! They have stolen some of the things that I commanded must be set apart for me. And they have not only stolen them but have lied about it and hidden the things among their own belongings.
12 That is why the Israelites are running from their enemies in defeat. For now Israel itself has been set apart for destruction. I will not remain with you any longer unless you destroy the things among you that were set apart for destruction.
13 "Get up! Command the people to purify themselves in preparation for tomorrow. For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Hidden among you, O Israel, are things set apart for the LORD. You will never defeat your enemies until you remove these things from among you.
14 "In the morning you must present yourselves by tribes, and the LORD will point out the tribe to which the guilty man belongs. That tribe must come forward with its clans, and the LORD will point out the guilty clan. That clan will then come forward, and the LORD will point out the guilty family. Finally, each member of the guilty family must come forward one by one.
15 The one who has stolen what was set apart for destruction will himself be burned with fire, along with everything he has, for he has broken the covenant of the LORD and has done a horrible thing in Israel."
16 Early the next morning Joshua brought the tribes of Israel before the LORD, and the tribe of Judah was singled out.
17 Then the clans of Judah came forward, and the clan of Zerah was singled out. Then the families of Zerah came forward, and the family of Zimri was singled out.
18 Every member of Zimri's family was brought forward person by person, and Achan was singled out.
19 Then Joshua said to Achan, "My son, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, by telling the truth. Make your confession and tell me what you have done. Don't hide it from me."
20 Achan replied, "It is true! I have sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel.
21 Among the plunder I saw a beautiful robe from Babylon, 200 silver coins, and a bar of gold weighing more than a pound. I wanted them so much that I took them. They are hidden in the ground beneath my tent, with the silver buried deeper than the rest."
22 So Joshua sent some men to make a search. They ran to the tent and found the stolen goods hidden there, just as Achan had said, with the silver buried beneath the rest.
23 They took the things from the tent and brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites. Then they laid them on the ground in the presence of the LORD.
24 Then Joshua and all the Israelites took Achan, the silver, the robe, the bar of gold, his sons, daughters, cattle, donkeys, sheep, goats, tent, and everything he had, and they brought them to the valley of Achor.
25 Then Joshua said to Achan, "Why have you brought trouble on us? The LORD will now bring trouble on you." And all the Israelites stoned Achan and his family and burned their bodies.
26 They piled a great heap of stones over Achan, which remains to this day. That is why the place has been called the Valley of Trouble ever since. So the LORD was no longer angry.
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 .
