Joshua 7

KJV

1  But the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ committed⁴⁶⁰³ a trespass⁴⁶⁰⁴ in the accursed thing:²⁷⁶⁴ for Achan,⁵⁹¹² the son¹¹²¹ of Carmi,³⁷⁵⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Zabdi,²⁰⁶⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Zerah,²²²⁶ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ took³⁹⁴⁷ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the accursed thing:²⁷⁶⁴ and the anger⁶³⁹ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was kindled²⁷³⁴ against the children¹¹²¹ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

2  And Joshua³⁰⁹¹ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ men³⁷⁶ from Jericho^{4480 3405} to Ai,⁵⁸⁵⁷ which⁸³⁴ is beside⁵⁹⁷³ Beth-aven,¹⁰⁰⁷ on the east side^{4480 6924} of Bethel,¹⁰⁰⁸ and spoke⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Go up⁵⁹²⁷ and view^{7270 853} the country.⁷⁷⁶ And the men³⁷⁶ went up⁵⁹²⁷ and viewed^{7270 853} Ai.⁵⁸⁵⁷

3  And they returned⁷⁷²⁵ to⁴¹³ Joshua,³⁰⁹¹ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Let not⁴⁰⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ go up;⁵⁹²⁷ but let about two⁵⁰⁵ or¹⁷⁶ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ men³⁷⁶ go up⁵⁹²⁷ and smite^{5221 853} Ai;⁵⁸⁵⁷ and make not^{408 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ to labor³⁰²¹ thither;⁸⁰³³ for³⁵⁸⁸ they¹⁹⁹² are but few.⁴⁵⁹²

4  So there went up⁵⁹²⁷ thither⁸⁰³³ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ about three⁷⁹⁶⁹ thousand⁵⁰⁵ men:³⁷⁶ and they fled⁵¹²⁷ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the men³⁷⁶ of Ai.⁵⁸⁵⁷

5  And the men³⁷⁶ of Ai⁵⁸⁵⁷ smote⁵²²¹ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ them about thirty⁷⁹⁷⁰ and six⁸³³⁷ men:³⁷⁶ for they chased⁷²⁹¹ them from before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ even unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ Shebarim,⁷⁶⁷¹ and smote⁵²²¹ them in the going down:⁴¹⁷⁴ wherefore the hearts³⁸²⁴ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ melted,⁴⁵⁴⁹ and became¹⁹⁶¹ as water.⁴³²⁵

6  And Joshua³⁰⁹¹ rent⁷¹⁶⁷ his clothes,⁸⁰⁷¹ and fell⁵³⁰⁷ to the earth⁷⁷⁶ upon⁵⁹²¹ his face⁶⁴⁴⁰ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the ark⁷²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ the eventide,⁶¹⁵³ he¹⁹³¹ and the elders²²⁰⁵ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and put⁵⁹²⁷ dust⁶⁰⁸³ upon⁵⁹²¹ their heads.⁷²¹⁸

7  And Joshua³⁰⁹¹ said,⁵⁵⁹ Alas,¹⁶² O Lord¹³⁶ GOD,³⁰⁶⁹ wherefore⁴¹⁰⁰ hast thou at all brought^{5674 5674 853} this²⁰⁸⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ over^{5674 853} Jordan,³³⁸³ to deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ us into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the Amorites,⁵⁶⁷ to destroy⁶ us? would to God³⁸⁶³ we had been content,²⁹⁷⁴ and dwelt³⁴²⁷ on the other side⁵⁶⁷⁶ Jordan!³³⁸³

8  O⁹⁹⁴ Lord,¹³⁶ what⁴¹⁰⁰ shall I say,⁵⁵⁹ when^{310 834} Israel³⁴⁷⁸ turneth²⁰¹⁵ their backs⁶²⁰³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ their enemies!³⁴¹

9  For the Canaanites³⁶⁶⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ the inhabitants³⁴²⁷ of the land⁷⁷⁶ shall hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ of it, and shall environ us round,^{5437 5921} and cut off^{3772 853} our name⁸⁰³⁴ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ the earth:⁷⁷⁶ and what⁴¹⁰⁰ wilt thou do⁶²¹³ unto thy great¹⁴¹⁹ name?⁸⁰³⁴

10  And the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Joshua,³⁰⁹¹ Get thee up;⁶⁹⁶⁵ wherefore⁴¹⁰⁰ liest⁵³⁰⁷ thou⁸⁵⁹ thus²⁰⁸⁸ upon⁵⁹²¹ thy face?⁶⁴⁴⁰

11  Israel³⁴⁷⁸ hath sinned,²³⁹⁸ and they have also¹⁵⁷¹ transgressed^{5674 853} my covenant¹²⁸⁵ which⁸³⁴ I commanded⁶⁶⁸⁰ them: for they have even¹⁵⁷¹ taken³⁹⁴⁷ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the accursed thing,²⁷⁶⁴ and have also¹⁵⁷¹ stolen,¹⁵⁸⁹ and dissembled³⁵⁸⁴ also,¹⁵⁷¹ and they have put⁷⁷⁶⁰ it even¹⁵⁷¹ among their own stuff.³⁶²⁷

12  Therefore the children¹¹²¹ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ could³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ stand⁶⁹⁶⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ their enemies,³⁴¹ but turned⁶⁴³⁷ their backs⁶²⁰³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ their enemies,³⁴¹ because³⁵⁸⁸ they were¹⁹⁶¹ accursed:²⁷⁶⁴ neither³⁸⁰⁸ will I be¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ you any more,³²⁵⁴ except^{518 3808} ye destroy⁸⁰⁴⁵ the accursed²⁷⁶⁴ from among^{4480 7130} you.

13  Up,⁶⁹⁶⁵ sanctify^{6942 853} the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and say,⁵⁵⁹ Sanctify yourselves⁶⁹⁴² against tomorrow:⁴²⁷⁹ for³⁵⁸⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the Lord³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸ There is an accursed thing²⁷⁶⁴ in the midst⁷¹³⁰ of thee, O Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ thou canst³²⁰¹ not³⁸⁰⁸ stand⁶⁹⁶⁵ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ thine enemies,³⁴¹ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ ye take away⁵⁴⁹³ the accursed thing²⁷⁶⁴ from among^{4480 7130} you.

14  In the morning¹²⁴² therefore ye shall be brought⁷¹²⁶ according to your tribes:⁷⁶²⁶ and it shall be,¹⁹⁶¹ that the tribe⁷⁶²⁶ which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ taketh³⁹²⁰ shall come⁷¹²⁶ according to the families⁴⁹⁴⁰ thereof; and the family⁴⁹⁴⁰ which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall take³⁹²⁰ shall come⁷¹²⁶ by households;¹⁰⁰⁴ and the household¹⁰⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall take³⁹²⁰ shall come⁷¹²⁶ man by man.¹³⁹⁷

15  And it shall be,¹⁹⁶¹ that he that is taken³⁹²⁰ with the accursed thing²⁷⁶⁴ shall be burnt⁸³¹³ with fire,⁷⁸⁴ he and all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ he hath: because³⁵⁸⁸ he hath transgressed^{5674 853} the covenant¹²⁸⁵ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and because³⁵⁸⁸ he hath wrought⁶²¹³ folly⁵⁰³⁹ in Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

16  So Joshua³⁰⁹¹ rose up early⁷⁹²⁵ in the morning,¹²⁴² and brought^{7126 853} Israel³⁴⁷⁸ by their tribes;⁷⁶²⁶ and the tribe⁷⁶²⁶ of Judah³⁰⁶³ was taken:³⁹²⁰

17  And he brought^{7126 853} the family⁴⁹⁴⁰ of Judah;³⁰⁶³ and he took^{3920 853} the family⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the Zarhites:²²²⁷ and he brought^{7126 853} the family⁴⁹⁴⁰ of the Zarhites²²²⁷ man by man;¹³⁹⁷ and Zabdi²⁰⁶⁷ was taken:³⁹²⁰

18  And he brought^{7126 853} his household¹⁰⁰⁴ man by man;¹³⁹⁷ and Achan,⁵⁹¹² the son¹¹²¹ of Carmi,³⁷⁵⁶ the son¹¹²¹ of Zabdi,²⁰⁶⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Zerah,²²²⁶ of the tribe⁴²⁹⁴ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ was taken.³⁹²⁰

19  And Joshua³⁰⁹¹ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Achan,⁵⁹¹² My son,¹¹²¹ give,⁷⁷⁶⁰ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ glory³⁵¹⁹ to the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and make⁵⁴¹⁴ confession⁸⁴²⁶ unto him; and tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ me now⁴⁹⁹⁴ what⁴¹⁰⁰ thou hast done;⁶²¹³ hide³⁵⁸² it not⁴⁰⁸ from⁴⁴⁸⁰ me.

20  And Achan⁵⁹¹² answered^{6030 853} Joshua,³⁰⁹¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Indeed⁵⁴⁶ I⁵⁹⁵ have sinned²³⁹⁸ against the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and thus²⁰⁶³ and thus²⁰⁶³ have I done:⁶²¹³

21  When I saw⁷²⁰⁰ among the spoils⁷⁹⁹⁸ a²⁵⁹ goodly²⁸⁹⁶ Babylonish⁸¹⁵² garment,¹⁵⁵ and two hundred³⁹⁶⁷ shekels⁸²⁵⁵ of silver,³⁷⁰¹ and a²⁵⁹ wedge³⁹⁵⁶ of gold²⁰⁹¹ of fifty²⁵⁷² shekels⁸²⁵⁵ weight,⁴⁹⁴⁸ then I coveted²⁵³⁰ them, and took³⁹⁴⁷ them; and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they are hid²⁹³⁴ in the earth⁷⁷⁶ in the midst⁸⁴³² of my tent,¹⁶⁸ and the silver³⁷⁰¹ under⁸⁴⁷⁸ it.

22  So Joshua³⁰⁹¹ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ messengers,⁴³⁹⁷ and they ran⁷³²³ unto the tent;¹⁶⁸ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ it was hid²⁹³⁴ in his tent,¹⁶⁸ and the silver³⁷⁰¹ under⁸⁴⁷⁸ it.

23  And they took³⁹⁴⁷ them out of the midst^{4480 8432} of the tent,¹⁶⁸ and brought⁹³⁵ them unto⁴¹³ Joshua,³⁰⁹¹ and unto⁴¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and laid them out³³³² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

24  And Joshua,³⁰⁹¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ him, took^{3947 853} Achan⁵⁹¹² the son¹¹²¹ of Zerah,²²²⁶ and the silver,³⁷⁰¹ and the garment,¹⁵⁵ and the wedge³⁹⁵⁶ of gold,²⁰⁹¹ and his sons,¹¹²¹ and his daughters,¹³²³ and his oxen,⁷⁷⁹⁴ and his asses,²⁵⁴³ and his sheep,⁶⁶²⁹ and his tent,¹⁶⁸ and all³⁶⁰⁵ that⁸³⁴ he had: and they brought⁵⁹²⁷ them unto the valley⁶⁰¹⁰ of Achor.⁵⁹¹¹

25  And Joshua³⁰⁹¹ said,⁵⁵⁹ Why⁴¹⁰⁰ hast thou troubled⁵⁹¹⁶ us? the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall trouble⁵⁹¹⁶ thee this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷ And all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ stoned⁵⁶¹⁹ him with stones,⁶⁸ and burned⁸³¹³ them with fire,⁷⁸⁴ after they had stoned⁷²⁷⁵ them with stones.⁶⁸

26  And they raised⁶⁹⁶⁵ over⁵⁹²¹ him a great¹⁴¹⁹ heap¹⁵³⁰ of stones⁶⁸ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷ So the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ turned⁷⁷²⁵ from the fierceness^{4480 2740} of his anger.⁶³⁹ Wherefore^{5921 3651} the name⁸⁰³⁴ of that¹⁹³¹ place⁴⁷²⁵ was called,⁷¹²¹ The valley⁶⁰¹⁰ of Achor,⁵⁹¹¹ unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ this²⁰⁸⁸ day.³¹¹⁷

1 καὶ ἐπλημμέλησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ πλημμέλειαν μεγάλην καὶ ἐνοσφίσαντο ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀναθέματος καὶ ἔλαβεν Αχαρ υἱὸς Χαρμι υἱοῦ Ζαμβρι υἱοῦ Ζαρα ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Ιουδα ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀναθέματος καὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ κύριος τοῖς υἱοῖς Ισραηλ

2 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰησοῦς ἄνδρας εἰς Γαι ἥ ἐστιν κατὰ Βαιθηλ λέγων κατασκέψασθε τὴν Γαι καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ ἄνδρες καὶ κατεσκέψαντο τὴν Γαι

3 καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτόν μὴ ἀναβήτω πᾶς ὁ λαός ἀλλ᾽ ὡς δισχίλιοι ἢ τρισχίλιοι ἄνδρες ἀναβήτωσαν καὶ ἐκπολιορκησάτωσαν τὴν πόλιν μὴ ἀναγάγῃς ἐκεῖ τὸν λαὸν πάντα ὀλίγοι γάρ εἰσιν

4 καὶ ἀνέβησαν ὡσεὶ τρισχίλιοι ἄνδρες καὶ ἔφυγον ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν ἀνδρῶν Γαι

5 καὶ ἀπέκτειναν ἀπ᾽ αὐτῶν ἄνδρες Γαι εἰς τριάκοντα καὶ ἓξ ἄνδρας καὶ κατεδίωξαν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς πύλης καὶ συνέτριψαν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τοῦ καταφεροῦς καὶ ἐπτοήθη ἡ καρδία τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ ἐγένετο ὥσπερ ὕδωρ

6 καὶ διέρρηξεν Ἰησοῦς τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔπεσεν Ἰησοῦς ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐναντίον κυρίου ἕως ἑσπέρας αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι Ισραηλ καὶ ἐπεβάλοντο χοῦν ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν

7 καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς δέομαι κύριε ἵνα τί διεβίβασεν ὁ παῖς σου τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον τὸν Ιορδάνην παραδοῦναι αὐτὸν τῷ Αμορραίῳ ἀπολέσαι ἡμᾶς καὶ εἰ κατεμείναμεν καὶ κατῳκίσθημεν παρὰ τὸν Ιορδάνην

8 καὶ τί ἐρῶ ἐπεὶ μετέβαλεν Ισραηλ αὐχένα ἀπέναντι τοῦ ἐχθροῦ αὐτοῦ

9 καὶ ἀκούσας ὁ Χαναναῖος καὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν γῆν περικυκλώσουσιν ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐκτρίψουσιν ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς καὶ τί ποιήσεις τὸ ὄνομά σου τὸ μέγα

10 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Ἰησοῦν ἀνάστηθι ἵνα τί τοῦτο σὺ πέπτωκας ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν σου

11 ἡμάρτηκεν ὁ λαὸς καὶ παρέβη τὴν διαθήκην ἣν διεθέμην πρὸς αὐτούς καὶ κλέψαντες ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀναθέματος ἐνέβαλον εἰς τὰ σκεύη αὐτῶν

12 οὐ μὴ δύνωνται οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ὑποστῆναι κατὰ πρόσωπον τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν αὐχένα ἐπιστρέψουσιν ἔναντι τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν ὅτι ἐγενήθησαν ἀνάθεμα οὐ προσθήσω ἔτι εἶναι μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν ἐὰν μὴ ἐξάρητε τὸ ἀνάθεμα ἐξ ὑμῶν αὐτῶν

13 ἀναστὰς ἁγίασον τὸν λαὸν καὶ εἰπὸν ἁγιασθῆναι εἰς αὔριον τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ τὸ ἀνάθεμα ἐν ὑμῖν ἐστιν οὐ δυνήσεσθε ἀντιστῆναι ἀπέναντι τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν ἕως ἂν ἐξάρητε τὸ ἀνάθεμα ἐξ ὑμῶν

14 καὶ συναχθήσεσθε πάντες τὸ πρωὶ κατὰ φυλάς καὶ ἔσται ἡ φυλή ἣν ἂν δείξῃ κύριος προσάξετε κατὰ δήμους καὶ τὸν δῆμον ὃν ἐὰν δείξῃ κύριος προσάξετε κατ᾽ οἶκον καὶ τὸν οἶκον ὃν ἐὰν δείξῃ κύριος προσάξετε κατ᾽ ἄνδρα

15 καὶ ὃς ἂν ἐνδειχθῇ κατακαυθήσεται ἐν πυρὶ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶν αὐτῷ ὅτι παρέβη τὴν διαθήκην κυρίου καὶ ἐποίησεν ἀνόμημα ἐν Ισραηλ

16 καὶ ὤρθρισεν Ἰησοῦς καὶ προσήγαγεν τὸν λαὸν κατὰ φυλάς καὶ ἐνεδείχθη ἡ φυλὴ Ιουδα

17 καὶ προσήχθη κατὰ δήμους καὶ ἐνεδείχθη δῆμος ὁ Ζαραϊ καὶ προσήχθη κατὰ ἄνδρα

18 καὶ ἐνεδείχθη Αχαρ υἱὸς Ζαμβρι υἱοῦ Ζαρα

19 καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τῷ Αχαρ δὸς δόξαν σήμερον τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ Ισραηλ καὶ δὸς τὴν ἐξομολόγησιν καὶ ἀνάγγειλόν μοι τί ἐποίησας καὶ μὴ κρύψῃς ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ

20 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Αχαρ τῷ Ἰησοῖ καὶ εἶπεν ἀληθῶς ἥμαρτον ἐναντίον κυρίου θεοῦ Ισραηλ οὕτως καὶ οὕτως ἐποίησα

21 εἶδον ἐν τῇ προνομῇ ψιλὴν ποικίλην καλὴν καὶ διακόσια δίδραχμα ἀργυρίου καὶ γλῶσσαν μίαν χρυσῆν πεντήκοντα διδράχμων καὶ ἐνθυμηθεὶς αὐτῶν ἔλαβον καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὰ ἐγκέκρυπται ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ μου καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον κέκρυπται ὑποκάτω αὐτῶν

22 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰησοῦς ἀγγέλους καὶ ἔδραμον εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν καὶ ταῦτα ἦν ἐγκεκρυμμένα εἰς τὴν σκηνήν καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον ὑποκάτω αὐτῶν

23 καὶ ἐξήνεγκαν αὐτὰ ἐκ τῆς σκηνῆς καὶ ἤνεγκαν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν καὶ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους Ισραηλ καὶ ἔθηκαν αὐτὰ ἔναντι κυρίου

24 καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἰησοῦς τὸν Αχαρ υἱὸν Ζαρα καὶ ἀνήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς φάραγγα Αχωρ καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς μόσχους αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ὑποζύγια αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ πρόβατα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνήγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς Εμεκαχωρ

25 καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τῷ Αχαρ τί ὠλέθρευσας ἡμᾶς ἐξολεθρεύσαι σε κύριος καθὰ καὶ σήμερον καὶ ἐλιθοβόλησαν αὐτὸν λίθοις πᾶς Ισραηλ

26 καὶ ἐπέστησαν αὐτῷ σωρὸν λίθων μέγαν καὶ ἐπαύσατο κύριος τοῦ θυμοῦ τῆς ὀργῆς διὰ τοῦτο ἐπωνόμασεν αὐτὸ Εμεκαχωρ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης

1 Filii autem Israël prævaricati sunt mandatum, et usurpaverunt de anathemate. Nam Achan filius Charmi filii Zabdi filii Zare de tribu Juda tulit aliquid de anathemate: iratusque est Dominus contra filios Israël.

2 Cumque mitteret Josue de Jericho viros contra Hai, quæ est juxta Bethaven, ad orientalem plagam oppidi Bethel, dixit eis: Ascendite, et explorate terram. Qui præcepta complentes exploraverunt Hai.

3 Et reversi dixerunt ei: Non ascendat omnis populus, sed duo vel tria millia virorum pergant, et deleant civitatem: quare omnis populus frustra vexabitur contra hostes paucissimos?

4 Ascenderunt ergo tria millia pugnatorum. Qui statim terga vertentes,

5 percussi sunt a viris urbis Hai, et corruerunt ex eis triginta sex homines: persecutique sunt eos adversarii de porta usque ad Sabarim, et ceciderunt per prona fugientes: pertimuitque cor populi, et instar aquæ liquefactum est.

6 Josue vero scidit vestimenta sua, et pronus cecidit in terram coram arca Domini usque ad vesperam, tam ipse quam omnes senes Israël: miseruntque pulverem super capita sua,

7 et dixit Josue: Heu Domine Deus, quid voluisti traducere populum istum Jordanem fluvium, ut traderes nos in manus Amorrhæi, et perderes? utinam ut cœpimus, mansissemus trans Jordanem.

8 Mi Domine Deus, quid dicam, videns Israëlem hostibus suis terga vertentem?

9 Audient Chananæi, et omnes habitatores terræ, et pariter conglobati circumdabunt nos, atque delebunt nomen nostrum de terra: et quid facies magno nomini tuo?

10 Dixitque Dominus ad Josue: Surge: cur jaces pronus in terra?

11 Peccavit Israël, et prævaricatus est pactum meum: tuleruntque de anathemate, et furati sunt atque mentiti, et absconderunt inter vasa sua.

12 Nec poterit Israël stare ante hostes suos, eosque fugiet: quia pollutus est anathemate. Non ero ultra vobiscum, donec conteratis eum qui hujus sceleris reus est.

13 Surge, sanctifica populum, et dic eis: Sanctificamini in crastinum: hæc enim dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Anathema in medio tui est, Israël: non poteris stare coram hostibus tuis, donec deleatur ex te qui hoc contaminatus est scelere.

14 Accedetisque mane singuli per tribus vestras: et quamcumque tribum sors invenerit, accedet per cognationes suas, et cognatio per domos, domusque per viros.

15 Et quicumque ille in hoc facinore fuerit deprehensus, comburetur igni cum omni substantia sua: quoniam prævaricatus est pactum Domini, et fecit nefas in Israël.

16 Surgens itaque Josue mane, applicuit Israël per tribus suas, et inventa est tribus Juda.

17 Quæ cum juxta familias suas esset oblata, inventa est familia Zare. Illam quoque per domos offerens, reperit Zabdi:

18 cujus domum in singulos dividens viros, invenit Achan filium Charmi filii Zabdi filii Zare de tribu Juda.

19 Et ait Josue ad Achan: Fili mi, da gloriam Domino Deo Israël, et confitere, atque indica mihi quid feceris, ne abscondas.

20 Responditque Achan Josue, et dixit ei: Vere ego peccavi Domino Deo Israël, et sic et sic feci.

21 Vidi enim inter spolia pallium coccineum valde bonum, et ducentos siclos argenti, regulamque auream quinquaginta siclorum: et concupiscens abstuli, et abscondi in terra contra medium tabernaculi mei, argentumque fossa humo operui.

22 Misit ergo Josue ministros: qui currentes ad tabernaculum illius, repererunt cuncta abscondita in eodem loco, et argentum simul.

23 Auferentesque de tentorio, tulerunt ea ad Josue, et ad omnes filios Israël, projeceruntque ante Dominum.

24 Tollens itaque Josue Achan filium Zare, argentumque et pallium, et auream regulam, filios quoque et filias ejus, boves et asinos et oves, ipsumque tabernaculum, et cunctam supellectilem (et omnis Israël cum eo), duxerunt eos ad vallem Achor:

25 ubi dixit Josue: Quia turbasti nos, exturbet te Dominus in die hac. Lapidavitque eum omnis Israël: et cuncta quæ illius erant, igne consumpta sunt.

26 Congregaveruntque super eum acervum magnum lapidum, qui permanet usque in præsentem diem. Et aversus est furor Domini ab eis. Vocatumque est nomen loci illius, vallis Achor, usque hodie.
