1The 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.
“But the children of Israel 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 Judah, took of the accursed thing and the anger of the Lord was kindled…”

2Meanwhile, 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.
“Now, Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth -Avon, which is on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the country. So the men went up and spied out Ai.”
“Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth -Avon, east of Bethel, and said to them, Go up and spy out the land. So the men went up and spied out Ai.”
“Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth -Avon, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the country. And the men went up and spied out Ai.”
“Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth -Avin on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.”
“Now Joshua sent men from Jericho, as he did even before, to Ai, which is beside Beth -Avin, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the country. So the men went up and spied out Ai.”
“And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth -even on the east side of Bethel, and speak unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai.”
3On 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."
“they returned to Joshua and said to him, Do not let all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and attack Ai. Do not worry all the people there, for the people of Ai are few.”
“And they returned to Joshua and said unto him, let not all the people go up, but let about two or 3 ,000 men go up and smite Ai. And make not all the people to labor thither, for they are but few.”
“And they returned to Joshua and said unto 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 liver thither, for they are but few.”
“And they returned to Joshua and said to him, Do not let all the people go up, but let about 2 ,000 or 3 ,000 men go up and attack Ai. Do not weary all of the people there, for the people of Ai are few.”
“And they returned to Joshua and said unto him, Let not 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.”
“and they returned to Joshua and said, do not let all the people go up, but let about two or 3000 men go up and attack AI. Do not weary all the people for the people of AI are few.”
4So about three thousand men went up, but they fled before the men of Ai.
“So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men, and they fled before the men of Ai.”
“So there went up there of the people about three thousand men, and they fled before the men of Ai.”
“So about 3 ,000 men from the people went up there, but they fled from the men of Ai.”
“So about 3 ,000 men went up from there, from the people, but they fled before the men of Ai.”
5And 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 struck down about thirty six men, for they chased them from before the gate as far as Shavarim and struck them down on the descent. Therefore, the hearts of the people melted and became like water.”
“And the men of Ai smote of them about 30 and six men, for they chased them from before the gate, even unto Shabarim and smote them in the going down. Wherefore the hearts of the people melted and became as water.”
“And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men, for they chased them from before the gate, even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down. Wherefore the hearts of the people melted and became as water.”
“the men of Ai struck down about 36 of their men and pursued them from the gate as far as Shabarim, and struck them down on the descent, so that the hearts of the people melted and became as water.”
“And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty -six men, for they chased them from before the gate, even unto Shabarim, and smote them in the going down, wherefore the hearts of the people melded and became as water.”
6Then 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.
“Then Joshua tore his clothes and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of the Lord until evening, both he and the elders of Israel. And they put dust on their heads.”
“And Joshua rent his clothes and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord until the eventide he and the elders of Israel and put dust upon their heads.”
“Joshua rent his clothes and he fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the Lord until the eventide he and the elders of Israel and put dust upon their heads”

7"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 said, Alas, Lord God, why have you brought this people over the Jordan at all to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to destroy us? Oh, that we had been content and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan.”
“And Joshua said, alas, O Lord God, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to destroy us? Would to God we had been content and dwelt on the other side of Jordan.”

“Joshua said, Alas, O Lord God, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan to deliver us into the hand of Amorites to destroy us? Would to God we had been content and dwelt on the other side of Jordan.”
8O Lord, what can I say, now that Israel has turned its back and run from its enemies?
“O Lord, what shall I say when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies?”
“O Lord, what shall I say when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies?”
“O Lord, what can I say since Israel has turned their back before their enemies?”
“O Lord, what shall I say when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies?”
“Lord, what shall I say when Israel turns its back before its enemies?”

9When 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?"
“For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear it and surround us and cut off our name from the earth. Then what will you do for your great name?”
“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 wilt thou do unto thy great name?”

10But the LORD said to Joshua, "Stand up! Why have you fallen on your face?
“So the Lord said to Joshua, get up. Why do you lie thus on your face?”
“So the Lord said to Joshua, get up. Why do you lie thus on your face?”
“And the Lord said unto Joshua get thee up. Wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?”
“and 11. The Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up. Wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?”
“And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up, wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?”
“And the Lord said unto Joshua, Get thee up. Wherefore liest thou upon thy face?”
11Israel 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 they have also transgressed my covenant Which I commanded them for they have even taken of the accursed thing and have also stolen and dissembled also and they have put it Even among their own stuff.”
“Israel has sinned and they have also transgressed my covenant, which I commanded them. For they have even taken some of the accursed things and have both stolen and deceived. And they put it also put it among their own stuff.”

“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 dissembled also and they have put it even among their own stuff.”
12This 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.
“Therefore the children of Israel 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 ye destroy the accursed from among you.”
“Therefore, the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turn their backs before their enemies because they have become doomed to destruction. Neither will I be with you anymore unless you destroy the accursed…”
“Therefore, the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies but turn their backs before their enemies because they have become doomed to destruction. Neither will I be with you anymore unless you destroy the accursed…”
“Therefore, the sons of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies for they have become accursed. I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy the things under the ban from your midst.”
“Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but they turned their backs before their enemies because they were accursed. Neither will I be with you anymore except ye destroy the accursed from among you.”
“therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies but turn their backs before their enemies because they were accursed neither will I be with you anymore except ye destroy the accursed thing from among you.”
13Get 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.
“Up, sanctify the people and say, sanctify yourselves against tomorrow. For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, there is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel. Thou canst not stand before thine enemies until ye take away…”
“Rise up, consecrate the people, and say, consecrate yourselves for tomorrow. For thus the Lord, the God of Israel, has said, There are things under the ban in your midst, O Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you…”

“sanctify the people and say, sanctify yourselves against Tamal. Get ready. Tamal. For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, there is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel. Thou canst not stand before thine enemies until…”
14In 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.
“In the morning then, you shall come near by your tribes, and it shall be that the tribe which the Lord takes by lot shall come near by families, and the family which the Lord takes shall come near by households. And the household…”
“In the morning, therefore, you shall be brought according to your tribes. It shall be that the tribe which the Lord takes shall come according to the families, the family which the Lord takes shall come by households and the…”
“In the morning, therefore, ye shall be brought according to your tribes and it shall be that the tribe which the Lord taketh that according to the families thereof and the family which the Lord shall take shall come by households…”
15The 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.'"
“it shall be that the one who is taken with the things under the ban shall be burned with fire. He and all that belongs to him, because he has transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and because he has committed a disgraceful thing…”
“Then it shall be that he who is taken with the accursed thing shall be burned with fire. He and all that he is because he has transgressed the covenant of the Lord and because he's done a disgraceful thing in Israel.”
“And it shall be he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath because he has transgressed the covenant of the Lord and because he has brought folly in Israel.”
16So Joshua arose early the next morning and had Israel come forward tribe by tribe, and the tribe of Judah was selected.
“So Joshua rose up early in the morning and brought Israel by their tribes and the tribe of Judah was taken”
“Joshua rose early in the morning and brought Israel by their tribes and the tribe of Judah was taken.”
17He 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.
“he brought the clan of Judah and he took the family of the Zerahites. And he brought out the family of the Zerahites man by man and Zabdi was taken.”
18And 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.
“Then he brought 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.”
“and he brought his household man by man. And Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, this tribe of Judah was taken.”
“And he brought his household by man and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, the tribe of Judah was taken.”
“he brought his household near man by man and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah from the tribe of Judah was taken.”
19So 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."
“Joshua said to Achan, my son, I beg you, give glory to the Lord God of Israel and make confession to him and tell me now what you have done. Do not hide it from me.”
“Joshua said to Achan, My son, I implore you. Give glory to the Lord, the God of Israel. And give praise to Him and tell me now what you have done. Do not hide it from me.”
“And Joshua said unto Achan, my son, give, I pray thee glory to the Lord God of Israel and make confession unto him and tell him now what thou has done, hide it not from me.”
“And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give I pray thee glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession unto him, and tell me now what thou hast done. Hideth not from me.”
“And Joshua said unto Achan, my son, give, I pray you glory to the Lord God of Israel and make confession unto him. And tell me now what you have done. Hide it not from me.”
20"It is true," Achan replied, "I have sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel. This is what I did:
“And Achan answered Joshua and said, Indeed, I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus, and thus have I done.”
“And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed, I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel. And thus and thus have I done.”
“So Achan answered Joshua and said, Truly I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel, and this is what I did.”
“And Achan answered Joshua and said, Indeed, I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus, and thus have I done.”
“And Achan answered Joshua and said, Indeed, I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel and thus, and thus have I done.”
“answer Joshua and said, Indeed, I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel. And thus and thus have I done”
21When 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."

22So Joshua sent messengers who ran to the tent, and there it all was, hidden in his tent, with the silver underneath.
“So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent, and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.”
“So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.”
“So Joshua sent messengers and they ran into the tent. And behold, it was hidden in his tent and the silver under it.”
“So Joshua sent messengers and they ran to the tent. And behold, it was concealed in his tent with the silver underneath.”
“Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.”
23They took the things from inside the tent, brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites, and spread them out before the LORD.
“And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the Lord.”
“They took them out of the midst of the tent and brought them to Joshua and unto all the children of Israel and laid them out before the Lord.”
“took them from inside the tent and brought them to Joshua and to all the sons of Israel, and they poured them out before the Lord,”
“And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and all the children of Israel, and they laid them out before the Lord.”
“And they took them out of the midst of the tent and brought them to Joshua and all the children of Israel. And they laid them out before the Lord.”
24Then 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 and all Israel 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, everything. And all that…”
“and Joshua and all Israel 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…”
“And Joshua, and all Israel 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…”
“then Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the mantle, the bar of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent and all that belonged to him. And they brought them up…”
“Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan, the son of Zerah and the silver, the garment, the wedge of gold and his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his asses, his sheep, his tent and all that he had. And they brought them into the…”
“Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the bar 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.…”
25"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 said, why hast thou troubled us? The Lord shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones and burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones.”
“Joshua said, why did you bring trouble on us? The Lord brings trouble on you today. And all Israel stoned Him with stones. They burned them with fire and stoned them with stones.”
“And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? The Lord shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.”

“Joshua said, Why has thou troubled us? The Lord will trouble you this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones and burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones.”
26And 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 raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the Lord turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called the valley of Achor unto this day.”
