1 # But the children <01121> of Israel <03478> committed <04603> (8799) a trespass <04604> in the accursed thing <02764>: for Achan <05912>, the son <01121> of Carmi <03756>, the son <01121> of Zabdi <02067>, the son <01121> of Zerah <02226>, of the tribe <04294> of Judah <03063>, took <03947> (8799) of the accursed thing <02764>: and the anger <0639> of the LORD <03068> was kindled <02734> (8799) against the children <01121> of Israel <03478>.
2 And Joshua <03091> sent <07971> (8799) men <0582> from Jericho <03405> to Ai <05857>, which is beside <05973> Bethaven <01007>, on the east side <06924> of Bethel <01008>, and spake <0559> (8799) unto them, saying <0559> (8800), Go up <05927> (8798) and view <07270> (8761) the country <0776>. And the men <0582> went up <05927> (8799) and viewed <07270> (8762) Ai <05857>.
3 And they returned <07725> (8799) to Joshua <03091>, and said <0559> (8799) unto him, Let not all the people <05971> go up <05927> (8799); but let about two or three <07969> thousand <0505> men <0376> go up <05927> (8799) and smite <05221> (8686) Ai <05857>; and make not all the people <05971> to labour <03021> (8762) thither; for they are but few <04592>.
4 So there went up <05927> (8799) thither of the people <05971> about three <07969> thousand <0505> men <0376> : and they fled <05127> (8799) before <06440> the men <0582> of Ai <05857>.
5 And the men <0582> of Ai <05857> smote <05221> (8686) of them about thirty <07970> and six <08337> men <0376>: for they chased <07291> (8799) them from before <06440> the gate <08179> even unto Shebarim <07671> , and smote <05221> (8686) them in the going down <04174>: wherefore the hearts <03824> of the people <05971> melted <04549> (8735), and became as water <04325>.
6 # And Joshua <03091> rent <07167> (8799) his clothes <08071>, and fell <05307> (8799) to the earth <0776> upon his face <06440> before <06440> the ark <0727> of the LORD <03068> until the eventide <06153>, he and the elders <02205> of Israel <03478>, and put <05927> (8686) dust <06083> upon their heads <07218>.
7 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> (8799), Alas, O <0162> Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, wherefore hast thou at all <05674> (8687) brought <05674> <00> this people <05971> over <05674> (8689) Jordan <03383>, to deliver <05414> (8800) us into the hand <03027> of the Amorites <0567>, to destroy <06> (8687) us? would to God <03863> we had been content <02974> (8689), and dwelt <03427> (8799) on the other side <05676> Jordan <03383>!
8 O <0994> Lord <0136>, what shall I say <0559> (8799), when <0310> Israel <03478> turneth <02015> (8804) their backs <06203> before <06440> their enemies <0341> (8802)!
9 For the Canaanites <03669> and all the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the land <0776> shall hear <08085> (8799) of it, and shall environ us round <05437> (8738), and cut off <03772> (8689) our name <08034> from the earth <0776> : and what wilt thou do <06213> (8799) unto thy great <01419> name <08034>?
10 # And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) unto Joshua <03091>, Get thee up <06965> (8798); wherefore liest <05307> (8802) thou thus upon thy face <06440>?
11 Israel <03478> hath sinned <02398> (8804), and they have also transgressed <05674> (8804) my covenant <01285> which I commanded <06680> (8765) them: for they have even taken <03947> (8804) of the accursed thing <02764>, and have also stolen <01589> (8804), and dissembled <03584> (8765) also, and they have put <07760> (8804) it even among their own stuff <03627>.
12 Therefore the children <01121> of Israel <03478> could <03201> (8799) not stand <06965> (8800) before <06440> their enemies <0341> (8802), but turned <06437> (8799) their backs <06203> before <06440> their enemies <0341> (8802), because they were accursed <02764>: neither will I be with you any more <03254> (8686), except <03808> ye destroy <08045> (8686) the accursed <02764> from among <07130> you.

13 Up <06965> (8798), sanctify <06942> (8761) the people <05971>, and say <0559> (8804) , Sanctify <06942> (8690) yourselves against to morrow <04279>: for thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, There is an accursed thing <02764> in the midst <07130> of thee, O Israel <03478>: thou canst <03201> (8799) not stand <06965> (8800) before <06440> thine enemies <0341> (8802), until ye take away <05493> (8687) the accursed thing <02764> from among <07130> you.
14 In the morning <01242> therefore ye shall be brought <07126> (8738) according to your tribes <07626>: and it shall be, that the tribe <07626> which the LORD <03068> taketh <03920> (8799) shall come <07126> (8799) according to the families <04940> thereof; and the family <04940> which the LORD <03068> shall take <03920> (8799) shall come <07126> (8799) by households <01004>; and the household <01004> which the LORD <03068> shall take <03920> (8799) shall come <07126> (8799) man <01397> by man <01397>.
15 And it shall be, that he that is taken <03920> (8737) with the accursed thing <02764> shall be burnt <08313> (8735) with fire <0784>, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed <05674> (8804) the covenant <01285> of the LORD <03068> , and because he hath wrought <06213> (8804) folly <05039> in Israel <03478>.
16 # So Joshua <03091> rose up early <07925> (8686) in the morning <01242>, and brought <07126> (8686) Israel <03478> by their tribes <07626>; and the tribe <07626> of Judah <03063> was taken <03920> (8735):
17 And he brought <07126> (8686) the family <04940> of Judah <03063>; and he took <03920> (8799) the family <04940> of the Zarhites <02227>: and he brought <07126> (8686) the family <04940> of the Zarhites <02227> man <01397> by man <01397>; and Zabdi <02067> was taken <03920> (8735):
18 And he brought <07126> (8686) his household <01004> man <01397> by man <01397>; and Achan <05912> , the son <01121> of Carmi <03756>, the son <01121> of Zabdi <02067>, the son <01121> of Zerah <02226>, of the tribe <04294> of Judah <03063>, was taken <03920> (8735).
19 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> (8799) unto Achan <05912>, My son <01121>, give <07760> (8798) , I pray thee, glory <03519> to the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, and make <05414> (8798) confession <08426> unto him; and tell <05046> (8685) me now what thou hast done <06213> (8804); hide <03582> (8762) it not from me.
20 And Achan <05912> answered <06030> (8799) Joshua <03091>, and said <0559> (8799), Indeed <0546> I have sinned <02398> (8804) against the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, and thus and thus have I done <06213> (8804):
21 When I saw <07200> (8799) among the spoils <07998> a <0259> goodly <02896> Babylonish <08152> garment <0155>, and two hundred <03967> shekels <08255> of silver <03701>, and a <0259> wedge <03956> of gold <02091> of fifty <02572> shekels <08255> weight <04948>, then I coveted <02530> (8799) them, and took <03947> (8799) them; and, behold, they are hid <02934> (8803) in the earth <0776> in the midst <08432> of my tent <0168>, and the silver <03701> under it.
22 So Joshua <03091> sent <07971> (8799) messengers <04397>, and they ran <07323> (8799) unto the tent <0168>; and, behold, it was hid <02934> (8803) in his tent <0168>, and the silver <03701> under it.
23 And they took <03947> (8799) them out of the midst <08432> of the tent <0168>, and brought <0935> (8686) them unto Joshua <03091>, and unto all the children <01121> of Israel <03478>, and laid them out <03332> (8686) before <06440> the LORD <03068>.
24 And Joshua <03091>, and all Israel <03478> with him, took <03947> (8799) Achan <05912> the son <01121> of Zerah <02226>, and the silver <03701>, and the garment <0155>, and the wedge <03956> of gold <02091>, and his sons <01121> , and his daughters <01323>, and his oxen <07794>, and his asses <02543>, and his sheep <06629>, and his tent <0168>, and all that he had: and they brought <05927> (8686) them unto the valley <06010> of Achor <05911>.
25 And Joshua <03091> said <0559> (8799), Why <04100> hast thou troubled <05916> (8804) us? the LORD <03068> shall trouble <05916> (8799) thee this day <03117>. And all Israel <03478> stoned <07275> (8799) him with stones <068>, and burned <08313> (8799) them with fire <0784>, after they had stoned <05619> (8799) them with stones <068> .
26 And they raised <06965> (8686) over him a great <01419> heap <01530> of stones <068> unto this day <03117> . So the LORD <03068> turned <07725> (8799) from the fierceness <02740> of his anger <0639>. Wherefore the name <08034> of that place <04725> was called <07121> (8804), The valley <06010> of Achor <05911>, unto this day <03117>.
