King James Version
And
the sons
of Israel commit
a trespass in the devoted
thing ,
and
Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, taketh
of the devoted
thing ,
and the anger of Jehovah
burneth
against the sons
of Israel.
But
the children
of Israel committed
a trespass in the accursed
thing :
for
Achan, the
son of Carmi, the
son of Zabdi, the
son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took
of the accursed
thing :
and the anger of the
LORD
was
kindled
against the children
of Israel.
And Joshua sendeth
men from Jericho to Ai, which `
is '
near
Beth-Aven
, on the east of Bethel, and speaketh
unto them, saying, `
Go up and spy
the land;'
and the men go
up and spy
Ai ,
And Joshua sent
men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside
Bethaven
, on the east of Bethel, and spake
unto them, saying, Go up and view
the country.
And the men went
up and viewed
Ai .
and they turn
back
unto
Joshua, and say
unto him, `
Let not all the people go up; let about two thousand
men,
or about
three thousand men ,
go up ,
and they
smite Ai; cause
not all the people to labour
thither; for they `
are '
few. '
And they returned
to
Joshua, and said
unto him, Let not all the people go up; but
let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and
make
not all the people to labor
thither; for they are but
few.
And
there go
up of the people thither
about three thousand men ,
and they flee
before the men of Ai ,
So
there went
up thither
of the people about three thousand men :
and they fled
before the men of Ai .
and the men of Ai smite
of them about thirty and six men ,
and
pursue
them before the gate unto Shebarim, and they
smite
them in Morad;
and
the heart
of the people is
melted, and becometh
water.
And the men of Ai smote
of them about thirty and six men :
for
they
chased
them from
before the gate even
unto Shebarim, and smote
them in the going
down:
wherefore
the
hearts
of the people melted, and became
as
water.
And Joshua rendeth
his garments
, and falleth
on
his
face
to the earth before the ark of Jehovah
till
the evening
, he and the elders of Israel, and they
cause
dust to
go
up
on
their head
.
And Joshua rent
his clothes
, and fell
to the earth upon
his
face
before the ark of the LORD
until
the
eventide
, he and the elders of Israel, and put
dust upon
their heads
.
And Joshua saith
, `Ah
, Lord Jehovah
, why
hast Thou at all caused
this people to
pass
over the
Jordan, to give
us into the hand of the Amorite
to destroy us? --
and
oh
that
we had been willing
--
and we
dwell
beyond
the Jordan!
And Joshua said
, Alas
, O
LORD God
, wherefore
hast thou at all brought
this people over Jordan, to deliver
us into the hand of the Amorites,
to destroy us? would
to
God
we had been content,
and dwelt
on
the other
side
Jordan!
Oh,
Lord, what do
I say, after
that
Israel hath
turned
the
neck
before its
enemies ?
O
LORD, what shall
I say, when
Israel turneth
their
backs
before their
enemies !
and
the Canaanite
and all the inhabitants of the land do
hear, and have
come
round
against
us, and cut off our name out
of
the earth ;
and what dost
Thou do for
Thy great name? '
For
the Canaanites
and all the inhabitants of the land shall
hear of
it
, and shall
environ
us round
, and cut off our name from
the earth :
and what wilt
thou do unto
thy great name?
And Jehovah
saith
unto Joshua, `Rise
for
thee ,
why
`is'
this?
--
thou `art'
falling
on
thy face?
And the
LORD
said
unto Joshua, Get
thee up;
wherefore
liest
thou thus
upon
thy face?
Israel hath sinned, and also
they have transgressed My covenant which I commanded them ,
and
also
taken of the devoted
thing, and also stolen, and also deceived
, and also
put `
it '
among their vessels,
Israel hath sinned, and they have also
transgressed my covenant which I commanded them :
for
they
have
even
taken of the accursed
thing, and have
also stolen, and dissembled
also, and they
have
put it even
among their own
stuff.
and
the sons
of Israel have
not been
able
to
stand before their enemies ;
the
neck
they
turn
before their enemies, for
they have
become
a
devoted
thing;
I add
not
to
be with you --
if
ye destroy not
the devoted
thing
out
of
your
midst
.
Therefore
the children
of Israel could
not stand before their enemies ,
but
turned
their
backs
before their enemies, because
they were
accursed:
neither
will
I be with you any
more,
except
ye destroy the accursed
from
among
you
.
`Rise
, sanctify the people, and thou
hast
said
, Sanctify yourselves for
to -
morrow ;
for thus said
Jehovah,
God of Israel, A
devoted
thing
`
is '
in thy
midst, O Israel ,
thou art
not able
to
stand before thine enemies till
your
turning
aside
of
the devoted
thing out
of
your
midst;
Up
, sanctify the people, and say
, Sanctify yourselves against
to morrow :
for thus saith
the
LORD
God of Israel, There
is an
accursed
thing
in the
midst of
thee
, O Israel :
thou canst
not stand before thine enemies ,
until
ye
take
away
the accursed
thing from
among
you.
and
ye
have
been
brought
near
in the morning by
your tribes ,
and it hath
been
, the tribe which Jehovah
doth
capture
doth
draw
near
by
families ,
and the family which Jehovah
doth
capture
doth
draw
near
by households ,
and the household which Jehovah
doth
capture
doth
draw
near
by men;
In the morning therefore
ye
shall
be
brought
according
to
your tribes :
and it shall
be
, that
the tribe which the
LORD
taketh
shall
come
according
to
the
families thereof;
and the family which the
LORD
shall
take
shall
come
by households ;
and the household which the
LORD
shall
take
shall
come
man
by man.
and it hath
been
, he who
is captured
with the devoted
thing is
burnt with fire, he and all that he hath ,
because he hath transgressed the covenant of Jehovah
, and because he hath done
folly in Israel. '
And it shall
be
, that
he that
is taken
with the accursed
thing shall
be
burnt with fire, he and all that he hath :
because he hath transgressed the covenant of the
LORD
, and because he hath wrought
folly in Israel.
And
Joshua riseth
early in the morning, and bringeth
Israel near
by its
tribes ,
and the tribe of Judah is
captured;
So
Joshua rose
up
early in the morning, and brought
Israel by their
tribes ;
and the tribe of Judah was
taken:
and he bringeth
near
the family of Judah ,
and he captureth
the family of the Zarhite;
and he bringeth
near
the family of the Zarhite
by men,
and Zabdi is
captured;
And he brought
the family of Judah ;
and he took
the family of the Zarhites:
and he brought
the family of the Zarhites
man
by man;
and Zabdi was
taken:
and he bringeth
near
his household by men,
and Achan --
son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah --
is
captured
.
And he brought
his household man
by man;
and Achan ,
the
son of Carmi, the
son of Zabdi, the
son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah ,
was
taken
.
And Joshua saith
unto Achan, `
My son, put
, I pray thee, honour
on
Jehovah,
God of Israel, and give
to
Him thanks,
and declare,
I
pray
thee,
to
me ,
what thou hast done --
hide not from me. '
And Joshua said
unto Achan, My son, give
, I pray thee, glory
to
the
LORD
God of Israel, and make
confession
unto
him ;
and tell
me now
what thou hast done ;
hide it
not from me.
And Achan answereth
Joshua, and saith
, `Truly
I have sinned against Jehovah,
God of Israel, and thus and thus I
have done ;
And Achan answered
Joshua, and said
, Indeed
I have sinned against the
LORD
God of Israel, and thus and thus have I
done :
and
I see
among the spoil
a goodly robe
of
Shinar
, and two hundred shekels of silver, and one
wedge of gold ,
whose
weight
`is'
fifty shekels, and
I desire
them, and take
them; and lo
, they `
are '
hid in the earth ,
in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it. '
When
I saw
among the spoils
a goodly Babylonish
garment
, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a
wedge of gold of
fifty shekels weight
, then
I coveted
them, and took
them; and, behold,
they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
And
Joshua sendeth
messengers, and they run
unto the tent ,
and lo
, it is
hidden
in his tent, and the silver under it ;
So
Joshua sent
messengers, and they ran
unto the tent ;
and, behold,
it was
hid
in his tent, and the silver under it .
and they take
them out of the midst of the tent, and bring
them in
unto Joshua, and unto all the sons
of Israel, and pour
them out before Jehovah
.
And they took
them out of the midst of the tent, and brought
them unto Joshua, and unto all the children
of Israel, and laid
them out before the
LORD
.
And Joshua taketh
Achan son of Zerah, and the silver, and the robe
, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his ox
, and his ass
, and his flock
, and his tent, and all that he hath,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
and they cause
them to
go
up
the valley of Achor.
And Joshua ,
and
all
Israel
with
him,
took
Achan the
son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment
, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen
, and his asses
, and his sheep
, and his tent, and all that he had:
and they brought
them unto
the valley of Achor.
And Joshua saith
, `What!
thou
hast troubled us !
--
Jehovah
doth
trouble thee this day ;'
and all Israel cast
stones
at
him, and they
burn
them with fire, and
they stone
them with stones ,
And Joshua said
, Why
hast thou
troubled us ?
the
LORD
shall
trouble thee this day .
And all Israel stoned
him with
stones
, and burned
them with fire, after
they had
stoned
them with stones .
and they raise
up
over him a great heap of stones unto this day ,
and
Jehovah
turneth
back
from the heat
of His anger ,
therefore
hath
`one'
called
the name of that place `
Valley of Achor '
till
this day.
And they raised
over him a great heap of stones unto this day .
So
the
LORD
turned
from the fierceness
of his anger .
Wherefore
the name of that place was
called,
The
valley of Achor ,
unto
this day.
