YLT
Young's Literal Translation
The Israelites,
however,
acted
unfaithfully
regarding
the things
devoted to
destruction.
Achan son of Carmi, the
son of Zabdi, the
son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took
some
of what
was
set
apart.
So
the anger of the
LORD
burned
against the Israelites
.
And
the sons
of
Israel
commit
a
trespass
in
the devoted thing,
and
Achan ,
son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, taketh
of the devoted
thing,
and
the
anger of Jehovah
burneth
against the sons
of
Israel
.
Meanwhile,
Joshua sent
men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-aven to
the east of Bethel, and told
them, “
Go up and spy out
the land .”
So
the men went
up and spied
out
Ai .
And
Joshua sendeth
men from Jericho to Ai, which `
is '
near Beth-Aven ,
on
the east of Bethel, and speaketh
unto
them, saying,
`
Go up and spy the land ;'
and
the men go
up and spy
Ai ,
On
returning
to
Joshua, they
reported
, “There
is
no
need
to
send
all the people; two or three thousand men are
enough
to
go up and attack
Ai .
Since
the people of
Ai
are so
few ,
you
need
not
wear
out
all
our
people
there
. ”
and
they
turn
back
unto
Joshua, and
say
unto
him
, `Let
not
all the people go
up
; let
about
two thousand
men,
or about
three thousand men ,
go up ,
and they
smite
Ai ;
cause
not
all
the people to
labour
thither;
for
they
`
are '
few. '
So
about three thousand men went
up
, but
they fled
before the men of Ai .
And
there
go
up
of
the
people
thither
about three thousand men, and
they flee
before the men of Ai ,
And the men of Ai struck
down
about thirty -
six of
them
, chasing
them from
the gate as
far
as
the
quarries
and striking
them down
on
the
slopes.
So
the hearts
of the people melted and became
like
water.
and the men of Ai smite
of
them
about thirty and
six men
, and
pursue
them before
the gate unto
Shebarim,
and they
smite
them in
Morad;
and
the heart
of the people is
melted ,
and becometh
water.
Then
Joshua tore
his clothes
and fell
facedown
before the ark of the LORD
until
evening, as
did
the elders of Israel ;
and they all
sprinkled
dust on their heads
.
And
Joshua rendeth
his garments,
and falleth
on
his
face
to
the
earth
before the ark of Jehovah
till
the evening, he
and
the elders of Israel ,
and they cause
dust to
go
up
on their head
.
“O
, Lord
GOD
, ”
Joshua
said
, “
why did
You
ever
bring
this people across
the Jordan to deliver
us into the hand of the Amorites
to be
destroyed
? If
only
we had been content
to
stay
on
the
other
side
of
the Jordan!
And
Joshua
saith
, `Ah
, Lord
Jehovah
, why hast
Thou
at
all
caused
this people to
pass
over
the Jordan ,
to give
us into the hand of the Amorite
to destroy
us
? --
and
oh
that
we had been willing
--
and
we
dwell
beyond
the Jordan!
O
Lord, what can
I say, now
that Israel has
turned its
back
and
run
from
its enemies?
Oh,
Lord, what do
I say, after
that Israel hath
turned the
neck
before
its enemies?
When
the Canaanites
and all who
live
in
the land hear about
this
, they
will
surround
us and wipe
out
our name from
the earth .
Then
what will
You
do for Your
great name? ”
and
the Canaanite
and all the inhabitants
of
the
land do
hear, and
have
come
round
against
us ,
and cut
off
our name out
of
the earth ;
and
what dost
Thou
do for Thy
great name? '
But
the
LORD
said
to
Joshua, “Stand
up!
Why have
you
fallen
on your
face?
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
Joshua, `Rise
for
thee,
why `is'
this?
--
thou
`art'
falling
on thy
face?
Israel has
sinned ;
they have transgressed My covenant that
I commanded them, and they
have
taken some
of what
was
devoted to
destruction.
Indeed
, they
have
stolen and lied
, and they
have
put these
things
with
their own
possessions.
Israel hath
sinned ,
and
also
they have transgressed My covenant which
I commanded them, and also
taken of the
devoted thing
, and
also
stolen ,
and also
deceived
, and also
put `it'
among
their vessels,
This
is
why
the Israelites
cannot
stand against
their enemies .
They will
turn their
backs
and
run
from
their enemies, because
they themselves
have been
set
apart
for
destruction.
I will
no
longer
be with you unless
you
remove
from
among
you
whatever
is
devoted to
destruction
.
and
the sons
of
Israel
have
not
been
able
to
stand before
their enemies ;
the
neck
they turn before
their enemies, for
they have become
a
devoted
thing;
I add
not
to
be with you --
if
ye
destroy
not
the
devoted thing
out
of
your
midst
.
Get
up
and
consecrate
the people, saying
, ‘Consecrate
yourselves for tomorrow,
for this
is
what
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, says:
Among
you
, O Israel, there
are
things
devoted
to destruction.
You
cannot
stand against
your
enemies until
you
remove
them.
`Rise,
sanctify
the people, and
thou
hast
said
, Sanctify
yourselves for to-morrow;
for thus
said
Jehovah
, God of Israel, A
devoted
thing
`is'
in
thy
midst
, O Israel, thou
art
not
able
to stand before
thine
enemies till
your
turning
aside
of
the
devoted
thing
out
of
your
midst;
In the morning you
must
present
yourselves
tribe
by tribe.
The tribe that
the
LORD
selects
shall
come
forward
clan
by clan
, and the clan
that
the
LORD
selects
shall
come
forward
family by family
, and the family
that
the
LORD
selects
shall
come
forward
man
by man.
and
ye
have
been
brought
near
in the morning by your
tribes,
and
it
hath
been,
the tribe which
Jehovah
doth
capture
doth
draw
near
by families
, and the family which
Jehovah
doth
capture
doth
draw
near
by households
, and the household
which
Jehovah
doth
capture
doth
draw
near
by men;
The
one
who is caught
with the things
devoted to
destruction
must
be
burned,
along
with all that belongs
to
him
, because he has
transgressed the covenant of the
LORD
and committed
an
outrage
in Israel. ’”
and
it
hath
been,
he
who is captured
with the devoted thing
is
burnt
with fire,
he
and
all that he
hath
, because he hath
transgressed the covenant of Jehovah,
and because
he
hath
done
folly
in Israel. '
So
Joshua arose
early the next
morning and had
Israel come
forward
tribe
by tribe
, and the tribe of Judah was
selected.
And
Joshua riseth
early in
the morning ,
and bringeth
Israel near
by its
tribes
, and the tribe of Judah is
captured;
He had
the clans
of Judah come
forward
, and the clan
of the Zerahites
was
selected.
He had
the clan
of the Zerahites
come
forward
, and the
family
of
Zabdi was
selected.
and
he bringeth
near
the family
of Judah, and he
captureth
the family
of the Zarhite;
and
he bringeth
near
the family
of the Zarhite
by
men
, and Zabdi is
captured;
And he had
the
family
of
Zabdi
come
forward
man
by man
, and Achan son of Carmi, the
son of Zabdi, the
son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah ,
was
selected
.
and he bringeth
near
his
household
by men
, and Achan --
son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah --
is
captured
.
So
Joshua said
to
Achan, “
My son, give
glory
to
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, and make
a
confession
to Him .
I urge
you
to tell
me what you
have
done ;
do
not
hide it
from me. ”
And
Joshua saith
unto
Achan, `
My son, put
, I
pray
thee,
honour
on
Jehovah,
God of Israel, and give
to Him thanks,
and
declare,
I pray
thee,
to me ,
what thou
hast
done --
hide not
from me. '
“It
is
true,”
Achan replied
, “
I have sinned against the
LORD
, the
God of Israel .
This
is
what
I did:
And
Achan answereth
Joshua
, and
saith,
`Truly
I have sinned against Jehovah
, God of Israel ,
and
thus
and
thus
I have
done;
When
I saw
among the spoils
a beautiful
cloak
from
Shinar, two hundred shekels of silver, and a
bar
of gold weighing
fifty shekels, I coveted
them and took
them .
They are hidden
in the ground
inside
my tent, with
the silver underneath
. ”
and
I see
among the spoil
a goodly
robe
of
Shinar, and
two hundred shekels of silver, and one
wedge
of gold ,
whose
weight
`is'
fifty shekels, and
I desire
them ,
and take
them ;
and
lo,
they `
are '
hid
in the earth,
in
the
midst
of
my tent, and
the silver under
it
. '
So
Joshua sent
messengers who
ran
to
the tent, and there
it
all
was
, hidden in his tent, with
the silver underneath.
And
Joshua sendeth
messengers ,
and
they
run
unto
the tent, and lo
, it
is
hidden in his tent, and
the silver under
it;
They took
the things
from
inside
the tent, brought
them to
Joshua and all the Israelites
, and spread
them out before the
LORD
.
and
they take
them
out
of
the midst
of
the tent, and
bring
them in
unto
Joshua ,
and unto
all the sons
of
Israel
, and pour
them out before Jehovah
.
Then
Joshua ,
together
with
all
Israel,
took
Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the cloak
, the bar
of gold, his sons and daughters, his oxen
and donkeys
and sheep
, his tent, and everything
else
he owned
, and brought
them to the Valley of Achor.
And
Joshua taketh
Achan son of Zerah, and
the silver, and
the robe
, and
the wedge
of gold, and
his sons ,
and his
daughters, and
his ox,
and his
ass,
and his
flock
, and
his tent, and all
that
he hath
, and all
Israel
with
him,
and
they
cause
them to go
up
the valley of Achor.
“Why
have
you
brought
this
trouble
upon
us?”
said
Joshua .
“Today
the
LORD
will
bring
trouble
upon
you
! ”
And all Israel stoned
him to
death.
Then
they stoned
the
others
and burned
their
bodies.
And
Joshua saith,
`What
! thou
hast
troubled
us!
--
Jehovah
doth
trouble
thee
this
day;'
and all Israel cast
stones
at
him ,
and
they burn
them
with
fire,
and they
stone
them
with
stones,
And they heaped
over Achan
a large
pile
of rocks
that
remains
to
this day .
So
the
LORD
turned
from His burning
anger .
Therefore that
place
is
called the Valley of Achor to
this day.
and they raise
up
over him
a great
heap
of stones
unto
this day ,
and
Jehovah
turneth
back
from the
heat
of
His anger ,
therefore hath
`one'
called the name
of
that
place
`
Valley of Achor '
till
this day.
