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 .
