1. And the sons of Israel sinned a sin in the devoted things. And Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah took of the devoted things. And the anger of Jehovah glowed against the sons of Israel.
|
1. But the children H1121 of Israel H3478 committed H4603 a trespass H4604 in the accursed thing H2764 : for Achan H5912 , the son H1121 of Carmi H3756 , the son H1121 of Zabdi H2067 , the son H1121 of Zerah H2226 , of the tribe H4294 of Judah H3063 , took H3947 of H4480 the accursed thing H2764 : and the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 was kindled H2734 against the children H1121 of Israel H3478 .
|
|
2. And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-aven, on the east of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the land. And the men went up and spied out Ai.
|
2. And Joshua H3091 sent H7971 men H376 from Jericho H4480 H3405 to Ai H5857 , which H834 is beside H5973 Beth H1007 -aven , on the east side H4480 H6924 of Bethel H1008 , and spoke H559 unto H413 them, saying H559 , Go up H5927 and view H7270 H853 the country H776 . And the men H376 went up H5927 and viewed H7270 H853 Ai H5857 .
|
|
3. And they returned to Joshua, and said to him, Do not let all the people go up. Let about two thousand men, or about three thousand men, go up, and they shall strike Ai. Do not cause all the people to labor there, for they are few.
|
3. And they returned H7725 to H413 Joshua H3091 , and said H559 unto H413 him , Let not H408 all H3605 the people H5971 go up H5927 ; but let about two H505 or H176 three H7969 thousand H505 men H376 go up H5927 and smite H5221 H853 Ai H5857 ; and make not H408 H853 all H3605 the people H5971 to labor H3021 thither H8033 ; for H3588 they H1992 are but few H4592 .
|
|
4. And about three thousand men of the people went up there. And they fled before the men of Ai.
|
4. So there went up H5927 thither H8033 of H4480 the people H5971 about three H7969 thousand H505 men H376 : and they fled H5127 before H6440 the men H376 of Ai H5857 .
|
|
5. And the men of Ai struck about thirty six men of them, and pursued them before the gate to Shebarim. And they struck them in the descent. And the heart of the people was melted, and became as water.
|
5. And the men H376 of Ai H5857 smote H5221 of H4480 them about thirty H7970 and six H8337 men H376 : for they chased H7291 them from before H6440 the gate H8179 even unto H5704 Shebarim H7671 , and smote H5221 them in the going down H4174 : wherefore the hearts H3824 of the people H5971 melted H4549 , and became H1961 as water H4325 .
|
|
6. And Joshua tore his clothing, and fell on his face to the earth before the ark of Jehovah until the evening, he and the elders of Israel. And they threw dust on their heads.
|
6. And Joshua H3091 rent H7167 his clothes H8071 , and fell H5307 to the earth H776 upon H5921 his face H6440 before H6440 the ark H727 of the LORD H3068 until H5704 the eventide H6153 , he H1931 and the elders H2205 of Israel H3478 , and put H5927 dust H6083 upon H5921 their heads H7218 .
|
|
7. And Joshua said, Oh Lord Jehovah, why have You at all caused this people to cross over the Jordan to give us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us? And, Oh that we had been willing, and that we had dwelt beyond the Jordan!
|
7. And Joshua H3091 said H559 , Alas H162 , O Lord H136 GOD H3069 , wherefore H4100 hast thou at all brought H5674 H5674 H853 this H2088 people H5971 over H5674 H853 Jordan H3383 , to deliver H5414 us into the hand H3027 of the Amorites H567 , to destroy H6 us? would to God H3863 we had been content H2974 , and dwelt H3427 on the other side H5676 Jordan H3383 !
|
|
8. Oh Lord, what shall I say, after Israel has turned its back before its enemies?
|
8. O H994 Lord H136 , what H4100 shall I say H559 , when H310 H834 Israel H3478 turneth H2015 their backs H6203 before H6440 their enemies H341 !
|
|
9. And the Canaanites, and all the ones living in the land shall hear, and shall come around against us, and shall cut off our name out of the earth. And what shall You do for Your great name?
|
9. For the Canaanites H3669 and all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 shall hear H8085 of it , and shall environ us round H5437 H5921 , and cut off H3772 H853 our name H8034 from H4480 the earth H776 : and what H4100 wilt thou do H6213 unto thy great H1419 name H8034 ?
|
|
10. And Jehovah said to Joshua, Get up! Why do you fall on your face this way?
|
10. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Joshua H3091 , Get thee up H6965 ; wherefore H4100 liest H5307 thou H859 thus H2088 upon H5921 thy face H6440 ?
|
|
11. Israel has sinned, and they also have transgressed My covenant which I commanded them, and have also taken of the cursed things, and have also stolen, and also deceived, and also put it among their stuff.
|
11. Israel H3478 hath sinned H2398 , and they have also H1571 transgressed H5674 H853 my covenant H1285 which H834 I commanded H6680 them : for they have even H1571 taken H3947 of H4480 the accursed thing H2764 , and have also H1571 stolen H1589 , and dissembled H3584 also H1571 , and they have put H7760 it even H1571 among their own stuff H3627 .
|
|
12. And the sons of Israel have not been able to stand before their enemies; they have turned the back before their enemies because they have become cursed. I will not be with you again if you do not destroy the cursed things from among you.
|
12. Therefore the children H1121 of Israel H3478 could H3201 not H3808 stand H6965 before H6440 their enemies H341 , but turned H6437 their backs H6203 before H6440 their enemies H341 , because H3588 they were H1961 accursed H2764 : neither H3808 will I be H1961 with H5973 you any more H3254 , except H518 H3808 ye destroy H8045 the accursed H2764 from among H4480 H7130 you.
|
|
13. Rise up, sanctify the people, and you shall say, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow. For so says Jehovah, the God of Israel, A cursed thing is among you, Israel; you are not able to stand before your enemies until you take away the cursed thing from among you.
|
13. Up H6965 , sanctify H6942 H853 the people H5971 , and say H559 , Sanctify yourselves H6942 against tomorrow H4279 : for H3588 thus H3541 saith H559 the Lord H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 . There is an accursed thing H2764 in the midst H7130 of thee , O Israel H3478 : thou canst H3201 not H3808 stand H6965 before H6440 thine enemies H341 , until H5704 ye take away H5493 the accursed thing H2764 from among H4480 H7130 you.
|
|
14. And you shall be brought near in the morning, by your tribes. And it shall be, the tribe which Jehovah takes shall draw near by families. And the family which Jehovah takes shall draw near by households. And the household which Jehovah takes shall draw near by men.
|
14. In the morning H1242 therefore ye shall be brought H7126 according to your tribes H7626 : and it shall be H1961 , that the tribe H7626 which H834 the LORD H3068 taketh H3920 shall come H7126 according to the families H4940 thereof ; and the family H4940 which H834 the LORD H3068 shall take H3920 shall come H7126 by households H1004 ; and the household H1004 which H834 the LORD H3068 shall take H3920 shall come H7126 man by man H1397 .
|
|
15. And it shall be, he who is taken with the accursed thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of Jehovah and because he has committed folly in Israel.
|
15. And it shall be H1961 , that he that is taken H3920 with the accursed thing H2764 shall be burnt H8313 with fire H784 , he and all H3605 that H834 he hath: because H3588 he hath transgressed H5674 H853 the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 , and because H3588 he hath wrought H6213 folly H5039 in Israel H3478 .
|
|
16. And Joshua rose early in the morning, and brought Israel near by its tribes. And the tribe of Judah was taken.
|
16. So Joshua H3091 rose up early H7925 in the morning H1242 , and brought H7126 H853 Israel H3478 by their tribes H7626 ; and the tribe H7626 of Judah H3063 was taken H3920 :
|
|
17. And he brought the family of Judah near; and he took the family of the Zerahites. And he brought near the family of the Zerahites by men, and Zabdi was taken.
|
17. And he brought H7126 H853 the family H4940 of Judah H3063 ; and he took H3920 H853 the family H4940 of the Zarhites H2227 : and he brought H7126 H853 the family H4940 of the Zarhites H2227 man by man H1397 ; and Zabdi H2067 was taken H3920 :
|
|
18. And he brought near his household by men, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
|
18. And he brought H7126 H853 his household H1004 man by man H1397 ; and Achan H5912 , the son H1121 of Carmi H3756 , the son H1121 of Zabdi H2067 , the son H1121 of Zerah H2226 , of the tribe H4294 of Judah H3063 , was taken H3920 .
|
|
19. And Joshua said to Achan, My son, now give glory to Jehovah, the God of Israel, and give thanks to Him, and please tell me what you have done. Do not hide it from me.
|
19. And Joshua H3091 said H559 unto H413 Achan H5912 , My son H1121 , give H7760 , I pray thee H4994 , glory H3519 to the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 , and make H5414 confession H8426 unto him ; and tell H5046 me now H4994 what H4100 thou hast done H6213 ; hide H3582 it not H408 from H4480 me.
|
|
20. And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Truly I have sinned against Jehovah, the God of Israel, and this I have done:
|
20. And Achan H5912 answered H6030 H853 Joshua H3091 , and said H559 , Indeed H546 I H595 have sinned H2398 against the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 , and thus H2063 and thus H2063 have I done H6213 :
|
|
21. When I saw among the spoil a goodly robe of Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold, one of fifty shekels in weight, then I lusted after them, and took them. And behold, they are hidden in the earth, in the middle of my tent, and the silver under it.
|
21. When I saw H7200 among the spoils H7998 a H259 goodly H2896 Babylonish H8152 garment H155 , and two hundred H3967 shekels H8255 of silver H3701 , and a H259 wedge H3956 of gold H2091 of fifty H2572 shekels H8255 weight H4948 , then I coveted H2530 them , and took H3947 them; and, behold H2009 , they are hid H2934 in the earth H776 in the midst H8432 of my tent H168 , and the silver H3701 under H8478 it.
|
|
22. And Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and behold, it was hidden in his tent, and the silver under it.
|
22. So Joshua H3091 sent H7971 messengers H4397 , and they ran H7323 unto the tent H168 ; and, behold H2009 , it was hid H2934 in his tent H168 , and the silver H3701 under H8478 it.
|
|
23. And they took them out of the middle of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, and to all the sons of Israel, and laid them out before Jehovah.
|
23. And they took H3947 them out of the midst H4480 H8432 of the tent H168 , and brought H935 them unto H413 Joshua H3091 , and unto H413 all H3605 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , and laid them out H3332 before H6440 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
24. And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the robe, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his ass, and his flock, and his tent, and all that he had. And they made them go up to the valley of Achor.
|
24. And Joshua H3091 , and all H3605 Israel H3478 with H5973 him, took H3947 H853 Achan H5912 the son H1121 of Zerah H2226 , and the silver H3701 , and the garment H155 , and the wedge H3956 of gold H2091 , and his sons H1121 , and his daughters H1323 , and his oxen H7794 , and his asses H2543 , and his sheep H6629 , and his tent H168 , and all H3605 that H834 he had : and they brought H5927 them unto the valley H6010 of Achor H5911 .
|
|
25. And Joshua said, How you have troubled us! Jehovah shall trouble you today! And all Israel threw stones at him, and they burned them with fire, and they stoned them with stones.
|
25. And Joshua H3091 said H559 , Why H4100 hast thou troubled H5916 us? the LORD H3068 shall trouble H5916 thee this H2088 day H3117 . And all H3605 Israel H3478 stoned H5619 him with stones H68 , and burned H8313 them with fire H784 , after they had stoned H7275 them with stones H68 .
|
|
26. And they raised over him a great heap of stones to this day. And Jehovah turned back from the heat of His anger. On this account the name of that place is The Valley of Grief until this day.
|
26. And they raised H6965 over H5921 him a great H1419 heap H1530 of stones H68 unto H5704 this H2088 day H3117 . So the LORD H3068 turned H7725 from the fierceness H4480 H2740 of his anger H639 . Wherefore H5921 H3651 the name H8034 of that H1931 place H4725 was called H7121 , The valley H6010 of Achor H5911 , unto H5704 this H2088 day H3117 .
