1
But the sons
of Israel
acted
unfaithfully
in regard to the things
under the ban,
for Achan,
the son
of Carmi,
the son
of Zabdi,
the son
of Zerah,
from the tribe
of Judah,
took
some
of the things
under the ban,
therefore the anger
of the LORD
burned
against the sons
of Israel
.
2
Now 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."
So the
men
went
up and spied
out Ai.
3
They returned
to Joshua
and said
to him, "Do not let all
the people
go
up; only about two or
three
thousand
men
need
go
up to Ai;
do not make all
the people
toil
up there,
for they are few."
4
So about three
thousand
men
from the people
went
up there,
but they fled
from the
men
of Ai.
5
The men
of Ai
struck
down
about thirty-six
of their men,
and pursued
them from the gate
as far
as Shebarim
and
struck
them
down
on the descent,
so the hearts
of the people
melted
and became
as water.
6
Then Joshua
tore
his clothes
and fell
to the earth
on his face
before
the ark
of the LORD
until
the evening,
both he and the elders
of Israel;
and they put
dust
on their heads.
7
Joshua
said,
"Alas,
O Lord
GOD,
why
did You ever
bring
this
people
over
the Jordan,
only to deliver
us into the hand
of the Amorites,
to destroy
us? If only
we had been willing
to dwell
beyond
the Jordan!
8
"O
Lord,
what
can I say
since
Israel
has turned
their back
before
their enemies?
9
"For the Canaanites
and all
the inhabitants
of the land
will hear
of it, and they will surround
us and cut off
our name
from the earth.
And what
will You do
for Your great
name?"
10
So the LORD
said
to Joshua,
"Rise
up! Why
is it that you have fallen
on your face?
11
"Israel
has sinned,
and they have also
transgressed
My covenant
which
I commanded
them. And they have even
taken
some
of the things under the ban
and have both
stolen
and deceived.
Moreover, they have also
put
them among their own things.
12
"Therefore the sons
of Israel
cannot
stand
before
their enemies;
they turn
their backs
before
their enemies,
for they have become
accursed.
I will not be with you anymore
unless
you destroy
the things under the ban
from your midst.
13
"Rise
up! Consecrate
the people
and say,
'Consecrate
yourselves for tomorrow,
for thus
the LORD,
the God
of Israel,
has said,
"There are things
under the ban
in your midst,
O Israel.
You cannot
stand
before
your enemies
until
you have removed
the things
under the ban
from your midst."
14
In the morning
then you shall come
near
by your tribes.
And it shall be that the tribe
which
the LORD
takes
by lot shall come
near
by families,
and the family
which
the LORD
takes
shall come
near
by households,
and the household
which
the LORD
takes
shall come
near
man by man.
15
'
It shall be that the one who is taken
with the things under the ban
shall be burned
with fire,
he and all
that belongs to him, because
he has transgressed
the covenant
of the LORD,
and because
he has committed
a disgraceful thing
in Israel.'"
16
So Joshua
arose early
in the morning
and brought
Israel
near
by tribes,
and the tribe
of Judah
was taken.
17
He brought
the family
of Judah
near
,
and he took
the family
of the Zerahites
;
and he brought
the family
of the Zerahites
near
man by man,
and Zabdi
was taken.
18
He brought
his household
near
man by man;
and Achan,
son
of Carmi,
son
of Zabdi,
son
of Zerah,
from the tribe
of Judah,
was taken.
19
Then Joshua
said
to Achan,
"My son,
I implore
you, give
glory
to the LORD,
the God
of Israel,
and give
praise
to Him; and tell
me now
what
you have done.
Do not hide
it from me."
20
So Achan
answered
Joshua
and said,
"Truly,
I have sinned
against the LORD,
the God
of Israel,
and this is what
I did:
21
when I saw
among the spoil
a beautiful
mantle
from Shinar
and two hundred
shekels
of silver
and a bar
of gold
fifty
shekels
in weight,
then I coveted
them and took
them; and behold,
they are concealed
in the earth
inside
my tent
with the silver
underneath
it."
22
So Joshua
sent
messengers,
and they ran
to the tent;
and behold,
it was concealed
in his tent
with the silver
underneath
it.
23
They took
them from inside
the tent
and brought
them to Joshua
and to all
the sons
of Israel,
and they poured
them out before
the LORD.
24
Then Joshua
and all
Israel
with him, took
Achan
the son
of Zerah,
the silver,
the mantle,
the bar
of gold,
his sons,
his daughters,
his oxen,
his donkeys,
his sheep,
his tent
and all
that belonged to him; and they brought
them up to the valley
of Achor.
25
Joshua
said,
"Why
have you troubled
us? The LORD
will trouble
you this
day."
And all
Israel
stoned
them with stones;
and they burned
them with fire
after they had
stoned
them with stones.
26
They raised
over
him a great
heap
of stones
that stands
to this
day,
and the LORD
turned
from the fierceness
of His anger.
Therefore
the name
of that place
has been called
the valley
of Achor
to this
day.
