YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 6:23

 And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Yisrael.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 6:24

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 6:25

 And Yehoshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwells in Yisrael even to this day; because she hid the messengers, which Yehoshua sent to spy out Jericho.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 6:26

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 6:27

 So YAHWEH was with Yehoshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.

The Yisraelites Smitten At Ai

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:1

 But the children of Yisrael committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Yahudah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of YAHWEH was kindled against the children of Yisrael.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:2

 And Yehoshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:3

 And they returned to Yehoshua, and said to him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labor thither; for they are but few.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:4

 So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:5

 And the men of Ai smote about thirty six men: for they chased them from before the gate even to Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:7

 And Yehoshua said, Alas, O Sovereign YAHWEH, wherefore have you at all brought this people over Yardan river, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? If we would have been content, and dwelt on the other side Yardan!

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:8

 O Sovereign YAHWEH, what shall I say, when Yisrael turns their backs before their enemies!

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:9

 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what will you do to your great name?

YAHWEH Instructs Yehoshua What To Do

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:10

 And YAHWEH said to Yehoshua, Get you up; wherefore are you lying upon your face?

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:11

 Yisrael has sinned, and they have also transgressed MY covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and deceived also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:12

 Therefore the children of Yisrael could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except you destroy the accursed from among you.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:13

 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against tomorrow: for thus saith YAHWEH the Sovereign Ruler of Yisrael, There is an accursed thing in the midst of you, O Yisrael: you can not stand before your enemies, until you take away the accursed thing from among you.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:14

 In the morning therefore you shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which YAHWEH takes shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which YAHWEH shall take shall come by households; and the household which YAHWEH shall take shall come warrior by warrior.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:15

 And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he has: because he has transgressed the covenant of YAHWEH, and because he has wrought folly in Yisrael.

Achan Is Detected, He Is Destroyed

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:16

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:17

 And he brought the family of Yahudah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites valiant warrior by valiant warrior; and Zabdi was taken:

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:18

 And he brought his household valiant warrior by valiant warrior; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Yahudah, was taken.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:19

 And Yehoshua said to Achan, My son, give, I pray you, honor to YAHWEH the Sovereign Ruler of Yisrael, and make confession to HIM; and tell me now what you have done; hide it not from me.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:20

 And Achan answered Yehoshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against YAHWEH the Sovereign Ruler of Yisrael, and thus and thus have I done:

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:21

 When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:22

 So Yehoshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:23

 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them to Yehoshua, and to all the children of Yisrael, and laid them out before YAHWEH.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:24

 And Yehoshua, and all Yisrael with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them to the valley of Achor.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:25

 And Yehoshua said, Why have you troubled us? YAHWEH shall trouble you this day. And all Yisrael stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.

YEHOSHUA BEN NUN - JOSHUA 7:26

 And they raised over him a great heap of stones to this day. So YAHWEH turned from the fierceness of HIS anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, to this day
