7:1 But
the
people
of
Israel
broke
faith
in
regard
to
the
devoted
things,
for
Achan
the
son
of
Carmi,
son
of
Zabdi,
son
of
Zerah,
of
the
tribe
of
Judah,
took
some
of
the
devoted
things.
And
the
anger
of
the
LORD
burned
against
the
people
of
Israel.
7:2 Joshua
sent
men
from
Jericho
to
Ai,
which
is
near
Beth-aven,
east
of
Bethel,
and
said
to
them,
"Go
up
and
spy
out
the
land."
And
the
men
went
up
and
spied
out
Ai.
7:3 And
they
returned
to
Joshua
and
said
to
him,
"Do
not
have
all
the
people
go
up,
but
let
about
two
or
three
thousand
men
go
up
and
attack
Ai.
Do
not
make
the
whole
people
toil
up
there,
for
they
are
few."
7:4 So
about
3,000
men
went
up
there
from
the
people.
And
they
fled
before
the
men
of
Ai,
7:5 and
the
men
of
Ai
killed
about
thirty-six
of
their
men
and
chased
them
before
the
gate
as
far
as
Shebarim
and
struck
them
at
the
descent.
And
the
hearts
of
the
people
melted
and
became
as
water.
7:6 Then
Joshua
tore
his
clothes
and
fell
to
the
earth
on
his
face
before
the
ark
of
the
LORD
until
the
evening,
he
and
the
elders
of
Israel.
And
they
put
dust
on
their
heads.
7:7 And
Joshua
said,
"Alas,
O
Lord
GOD,
why
have
you
brought
this
people
over
the
Jordan
at
all,
to
give
us
into
the
hands
of
the
Amorites,
to
destroy
us
Would
that
we
had
been
content
to
dwell
beyond
the
Jordan!
7:8 O
Lord,
what
can
I
say,
when
Israel
has
turned
their
backs
before
their
enemies!
7:9 For
the
Canaanites
and
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
will
hear
of
it
and
will
surround
us
and
cut
off
our
name
from
the
earth.
And
what
will
you
do
for
your
great
name"
7:10 The
LORD
said
to
Joshua,
"Get
up!
Why
have
you
fallen
on
your
face
7:11 Israel
has
sinned;
they
have
transgressed
my
covenant
that
I
commanded
them;
they
have
taken
some
of
the
devoted
things;
they
have
stolen
and
lied
and
put
them
among
their
own
belongings.
7:12 Therefore
the
people
of
Israel
cannot
stand
before
their
enemies.
They
turn
their
backs
before
their
enemies,
because
they
have
become
devoted
for
destruction.
I
will
be
with
you
no
more,
unless
you
destroy
the
devoted
things
from
among
you.
7:13 Get
up!
Consecrate
the
people
and
say,
'Consecrate
yourselves
for
tomorrow;
for
thus
says
the
LORD,
God
of
Israel,
"There
are
devoted
things
in
your
midst,
O
Israel.
You
cannot
stand
before
your
enemies
until
you
take
away
the
devoted
things
from
among
you."
7:14 In
the
morning
therefore
you
shall
be
brought
near
by
your
tribes.
And
the
tribe
that
the
LORD
takes
by
lot
shall
come
near
by
clans.
And
the
clan
that
the
LORD
takes
shall
come
near
by
households.
And
the
household
that
the
LORD
takes
shall
come
near
man
by
man.
7:15 And
he
who
is
taken
with
the
devoted
things
shall
be
burned
with
fire,
he
and
all
that
he
has,
because
he
has
transgressed
the
covenant
of
the
LORD,
and
because
he
has
done
an
outrageous
thing
in
Israel.'"
7:16 So
Joshua
rose
early
in
the
morning
and
brought
Israel
near
tribe
by
tribe,
and
the
tribe
of
Judah
was
taken.
7:17 And
he
brought
near
the
clans
of
Judah,
and
the
clan
of
the
Zerahites
was
taken.
And
he
brought
near
the
clan
of
the
Zerahites
man
by
man,
and
Zabdi
was
taken.
7:18 And
he
brought
near
his
household
man
by
man,
and
Achan
the
son
of
Carmi,
son
of
Zabdi,
son
of
Zerah,
of
the
tribe
of
Judah,
was
taken.
7:19 Then
Joshua
said
to
Achan,
"My
son,
give
glory
to
the
LORD
God
of
Israel
and
give
praise
to
him.
And
tell
me
now
what
you
have
done;
do
not
hide
it
from
me."
7:20 And
Achan
answered
Joshua,
"Truly
I
have
sinned
against
the
LORD
God
of
Israel,
and
this
is
what
I
did:
7:21 when
I
saw
among
the
spoil
a
beautiful
cloak
from
Shinar,
and
200
shekels
of
silver,
and
a
bar
of
gold
weighing
50
shekels,
then
I
coveted
them
and
took
them.
And
see,
they
are
hidden
in
the
earth
inside
my
tent,
with
the
silver
underneath."
7:22 So
Joshua
sent
messengers,
and
they
ran
to
the
tent;
and
behold,
it
was
hidden
in
his
tent
with
the
silver
underneath.
7:23 And
they
took
them
out
of
the
tent
and
brought
them
to
Joshua
and
to
all
the
people
of
Israel.
And
they
laid
them
down
before
the
LORD.
7:24 And
Joshua
and
all
Israel
with
him
took
Achan
the
son
of
Zerah,
and
the
silver
and
the
cloak
and
the
bar
of
gold,
and
his
sons
and
daughters
and
his
oxen
and
donkeys
and
sheep
and
his
tent
and
all
that
he
had.
And
they
brought
them
up
to
the
Valley
of
Achor.
7:25 And
Joshua
said,
"Why
did
you
bring
trouble
on
us
The
LORD
brings
trouble
on
you
today."
And
all
Israel
stoned
him
with
stones.
They
burned
them
with
fire
and
stoned
them
with
stones.
7:26 And
they
raised
over
him
a
great
heap
of
stones
that
remains
to
this
day.
Then
the
LORD
turned
from
his
burning
anger.
Therefore,
to
this
day
the
name
of
that
place
is
called
the
Valley
of
Achor.
