be burnt with fire, he and all that he has; because he has
transgressed the covenant of Yahweh, and because he has done
folly in Israel.
007:016 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel
near by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:
007:017 and he brought near the family of Judah; and he took the family
of the Zerahites: and he brought near the family of the Zerahites
man by man; and Zabdi was taken:
007:018 and he brought near his household man by man; and Achan,
the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah,
of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
007:019 Joshua said to Achan, My son, please give glory to Yahweh,
the God of Israel, and make confession to him; and tell me
now what you have done; don't hide it from me.
007:020 Achan answered Joshua, and said, Of a truth I have sinned
against Yahweh, the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
007:021 when I saw among the spoil a goodly Babylonian mantle,
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.
007:022 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and, behold,
it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
007:023 They took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them
to Joshua, and to all the children of Israel; and they laid
them down before Yahweh.
007:024 Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah,
and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold,
and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys,
and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had:
and they brought them up to the valley of Achor.
007:025 Joshua said, Why have you troubled us? Yahweh shall
trouble you this day. All Israel stoned him with stones;
and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
007:026 They raised over him a great heap of stones, to this day;
and Yahweh turned from the fierceness of his anger.
Therefore the name of that place was called "The valley of Achor"
to this day.
008:001 Yahweh said to Joshua, Don't be afraid, neither be dismayed:
take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up
to Ai; behold, I have given into your hand the king of Ai,
and his people, and his city, and his land;
008:002 You shall do to Ai and her king as you did to Jericho and her king:
only the spoil of it, and the livestock of it, shall you
take for a prey to yourselves: set you an ambush for the
city behind it.
008:003 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai:
and Joshua chose out thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valor,
and sent them forth by night.
