And the menH5927went up[H8799] H7270and viewed[H8762] H5857Ai. 3 H7725And they returned[H8799] H3091to JoshuaH559, and said[H8799] H5971unto him, Let not all the peopleH5927go up[H8799] H7969; but let about two or threeH505thousandH376menH5927go up[H8799] H5221and smite[H8686] H5857AiH5971; and make not all the peopleH3021to labour[H8762] H4592thither; for they are but few. 4 H5927So there went up[H8799] H5971thither of the peopleH7969about threeH505thousandH376menH5127: and they fled[H8799] H6440beforeH582the menH5857of Ai. 5 H582And the menH5857of AiH5221smote[H8686] H7970of them about thirtyH8337and sixH376menH7291: for they chased[H8799] H6440them from beforeH8179the gateH7671even unto ShebarimH5221, and smote[H8686] H4174them in the going downH3824: wherefore the heartsH5971of the peopleH4549melted[H8735] H4325, and became as water. 6 H3091And JoshuaH7167rent[H8799] H8071his clothesH5307, and fell[H8799] H776to the earthH6440upon his faceH6440beforeH727the arkH3068of the LORDH6153until the eventideH2205, he and the eldersH3478of IsraelH5927, and put[H8686] H6083dustH7218upon their heads. 7 H3091And JoshuaH559said[H8799] H162, Alas, OH136LordH3069GODH5674, wherefore hast thou at all[H8687] H5674broughtH5971this peopleH5674over[H8689] H3383JordanH5414, to deliver[H8800] H3027us into the handH567of the AmoritesH6, to destroy[H8687] H3863us? would to GodH2974we had been content[H8689] H3427, and dwelt[H8799] H5676on the other sideH3383Jordan! 8 H994OH136LordH559, what shall I say[H8799] H310, whenH3478IsraelH2015turneth[H8804] H6203their backsH6440beforeH341their enemies[H8802] ! 9 H3669For the CanaanitesH3427and all the inhabitants[H8802] H776of the landH8085shall hear[H8799] H5437of it, and shall environ us round[H8738] H3772, and cut off[H8689] H8034our nameH776from the earthH6213: and what wilt thou do[H8799] H1419unto thy greatH8034name? 10 H3068And the LORDH559said[H8799] H3091unto JoshuaH6965, Get thee up[H8798] H5307; wherefore liest[H8802] H6440thou thus upon thy face? 11 H3478IsraelH2398hath sinned[H8804] H5674, and they have also transgressed[H8804] H1285my covenantH6680which I commanded[H8765] H3947them: for they have even taken[H8804] H2764of the accursed thingH1589, and have also stolen[H8804] H3584, and dissembled[H8765] H7760also, and they have put[H8804] H3627it even among their own stuff. 12 H1121Therefore the childrenH3478of IsraelH3201could[H8799] H6965not stand[H8800] H6440beforeH341their enemies[H8802] H6437, but turned[H8799] H6203their backsH6440beforeH341their enemies[H8802] H2764, because they were accursedH3254: neither will I be with you any more[H8686] H3808, exceptH8045ye destroy[H8686] H2764the accursedH7130from among you. 13 H6965Up[H8798] H6942, sanctify[H8761] H5971the peopleH559, and say[H8804] H6942, Sanctify[H8690] H4279yourselves against to morrowH559: for thus saith[H8804] H3068the LORDH430GodH3478of IsraelH2764, There is an accursed thingH7130in the midstH3478of thee, O IsraelH3201: thou canst[H8799] H6965not stand[H8800] H6440beforeH341thine enemies[H8802] H5493, until ye take away[H8687] H2764the accursed thingH7130from among you. 14 H1242In the morningH7126therefore ye shall be brought[H8738] H7626according to your tribesH7626: and it shall be, that the tribeH3068which the LORDH3920taketh[H8799] H7126shall come[H8799] H4940according to the familiesH4940thereof; and the familyH3068which the LORDH3920shall take[H8799] H7126shall come[H8799] H1004by householdsH1004; and the householdH3068which the LORDH3920shall take[H8799] H7126shall come[H8799] H1397manH1397by man. 15 H3920And it shall be, that he that is taken[H8737] H2764with the accursed thingH8313shall be burnt[H8735] H784with fireH5674, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed[H8804] H1285the covenantH3068of the LORDH6213, and because he hath wrought[H8804] H5039follyH3478in Israel. 16 H3091So JoshuaH7925rose up early[H8686] H1242in the morningH7126, and brought[H8686] H3478IsraelH7626by their tribesH7626; and the tribeH3063of JudahH3920was taken[H8735] : 17 H7126And he brought[H8686] H4940the familyH3063of JudahH3920; and he took[H8799] H4940the familyH2227of the ZarhitesH7126: and he brought[H8686] H4940the familyH2227of the ZarhitesH1397manH1397by manH2067; and ZabdiH3920was taken[H8735] : 18 H7126And he brought[H8686] H1004his householdH1397manH1397by manH5912; and AchanH1121, the sonH3756of CarmiH1121, the sonH2067of ZabdiH1121, the sonH2226of ZerahH4294, of the tribeH3063of JudahH3920, was taken[H8735] . 19 H3091And JoshuaH559said[H8799] H5912unto AchanH1121, My sonH7760, give[H8798] H3519, I pray thee, gloryH3068to the LORDH430GodH3478of IsraelH5414, and make[H8798] H8426confessionH5046unto him; and tell[H8685] H6213me now what thou hast done[H8804] H3582; hide[H8762] it not from me. 20 H5912And AchanH6030answered[H8799] H3091JoshuaH559, and said[H8799] H546, IndeedH2398I have sinned[H8804] H3068against the LORDH430GodH3478of IsraelH6213, and thus and thus have I done[H8804] : 21 H7200When I saw[H8799] H7998among the spoilsH259aH2896goodlyH8152BabylonishH155garmentH3967, and two hundredH8255shekelsH3701of silverH259, and aH3956wedgeH2091of goldH2572of fiftyH8255shekelsH4948weightH2530, then I coveted[H8799] H3947them, and took[H8799] H2934them; and, behold, they are hid[H8803] H776in the earthH8432in the midstH168of my tentH3701, and the silver under it. 22 H3091So JoshuaH7971sent[H8799] H4397messengersH7323, and they ran[H8799] H168unto the tentH2934; and, behold, it was hid[H8803] H168in his tentH3701, and the silver under it. 23 H3947And they took[H8799] H8432them out of the midstH168of the tentH935, and brought[H8686] H3091them unto JoshuaH1121, and unto all the childrenH3478of IsraelH3332, and laid them out[H8686] H6440beforeH3068the LORD. 24 H3091And JoshuaH3478, and all IsraelH3947with him, took[H8799] H5912AchanH1121the sonH2226of ZerahH3701, and the silverH155, and the garmentH3956, and the wedgeH2091of goldH1121, and his sonsH1323, and his daughtersH7794, and his oxenH2543, and his assesH6629, and his sheepH168, and his tentH5927, and all that he had: and they brought[H8686] H6010them unto the valleyH5911of Achor. 25 H3091And JoshuaH559said[H8799] H4100, WhyH5916hast thou troubled[H8804] H3068us? the LORDH5916shall trouble[H8799] H3117thee this dayH3478. And all IsraelH7275stoned[H8799] H68him with stonesH8313, and burned[H8799] H784them with fireH5619, after they had stoned[H8799] H68them with stones. 26 H6965And they raised[H8686] H1419over him a greatH1530heapH68of stonesH3117unto this dayH3068. So the LORDH7725turned[H8799] H2740from the fiercenessH639of his angerH8034. Wherefore the nameH4725of that placeH7121was called[H8804] H6010, The valleyH5911of AchorH3117, unto this day. |
