007:011 Israel has sinned; yes, they have even transgressed my
covenant which I commanded them: yes, they have even taken
of the devoted thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also;
and they have even put it among their own stuff.
007:012 Therefore the children of Israel can't stand before their enemies;
they turn their backs before their enemies, because they
are become accursed: I will not be with you any more,
except you destroy the devoted thing from among you.
007:013 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves
against tomorrow: for thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, There is
a devoted thing in the midst of you, Israel; you can not stand
before your enemies, until you take away the devoted thing
from among you.
007:014 In the morning therefore you shall be brought near by your tribes:
and it shall be, that the tribe which Yahweh takes shall come
near by families; and the family which Yahweh shall take
shall come near by households; and the household which Yahweh
shall take shall come near man by man.
007:015 It shall be, that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall
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,
