Καὶ ἐπλημμέλησαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ πλημμελίαν μεγάλην καὶ ἐνοσφίσαντο ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀναθέματος· καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἀχὰρ υἱὸς Χαρμεὶ υἱοῦ ὶ υἱοῦ Σάρα ἐκ τῆς φυλῆς Ἰούδα ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀναθέματος· καὶ
ὀργῇ κύριος τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ.

Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰησοῦς ἄνδρας εἰς Γαῖ, ἥ ἐστιν κατὰ Βαιθήλ, λέγων κατασκέψασθε τὴν Γαῖ.

καὶ ἀνέβησαν οἱ ἄνδρες καὶ κατεσκέψαντο τὴν Γαῖ, 3 καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτόν Μὴ ἀναβήτω πᾶς ὁ λαός, ἀλλ’ ὡς ἢ τρισχίλιοι ἄνδρες ἀναβήτωσαν καὶ ἐκπολιορκησάτωσαν ¹² τὴν πόλιν· μὴ ἀναγάγῃς ἐκεῖ τὸν λαὸν πάντα, ὀλίγοι γάρ εἰσιν.

καὶ
ἀνέβησαν ὡσεὶ τρισχίλιοι ἄνδρες, καὶ ἔφυγον ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν ἀνδρῶν Γαῖ.

καὶ ἀπέκτειναν ἀπ’ αὐτῶν ἄνδρες Γᾶ εἰς τριάκοντα
καὶ ἓξ ἄνδρας, καὶ κατεδίωξαν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς πύλης καὶ συνέτριψαν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ καταφεροῦς· καὶ ἐπτοήθη ἡ καρδία τοῦ λαοῦ καὶ ἐγένετο ὥσπερ ὕδωρ.

καὶ διέρρηξεν Ἰησοῦς τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ· καὶ
ἔπεσεν Ἰησοῦς ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐναντίον κυρίου ἕως ἑσπέρας, αὐτὸς καί οἱ πρεσβύτεροι Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐπεβάλοντο χοῦν ἐπὶ τὰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν.

καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς Δέομαι, Κύριε, ἵνα τί
διεβίβασεν ὁ παῖς σου τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον τὸν Ἰορδάνην, παραδοῦναι αὐτὸν τῷ Ἀμορραίῳ ἀπολέσαι σοι ἡμᾶς; καὶ εἰ κατεμείναμεν καὶ κατῳκίσθημεν παρὰ τὸν Ἰορδάνην.

καὶ τί ἐρῶ, ἐπεὶ μετέβαλεν ’lσραὴλ
αὐχένα ἀπέναντι τοῦ ἐχθροῦ αὐτοῦ;

καὶ ἀκούσας ὁ Χαναναῖος καὶ
πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν γῆν περικυκλώσουσιν ἡμᾶς κα ἐκτρίψουσιν ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς· καὶ τί ποιήσεις τὸ ὄνομά σου τὸ μέγα;

Καὶ
κύριος πρὸς Ἰησοῦν Ἀνάστηθι· ἵνα τί τοῦτο σὺ πέπτωκας ἐπὶ πρόσωπον σου;

ἡμάρτηκεν ὁ λαὸς καὶ παρέβη τὴν διαθήκην ἣν
διεθέμην πρὸς αὐτούς· κλέψαντες ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀναθέματος ἐνέβαλον εἰς τὰ σκεύη αὐτῶν.

μὴ δύνωνται οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ὑποστῆναι κατὰ
πρόσωπον τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν· αὐχένα ὑποστρέψουσιν ἔναντι τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἐγενήθησαν ἀνάθεμα· οὐ προσθήσω ἔτι εἶναι μεθ’ ὑμῶν, ἐὰν μὴ ἐξάρητε τὸ ἀνάθεμα ἐξ ὑμῶν αὐτῶν.

ἀναστὰς
ἁγίασον τὸν λαόν, καὶ εἰπὸν ἁγιασθῆναι εἰς αὔριον. τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ἰσραήλ To ἀνάθεμα ἐν ὑμῖν ἐστιν· οὐ δυνήσεσθε ἀντιστῆναι ἀπέναντι τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν, ἕως ἂν ἐξάρητε τὸ ἀνάθεμα ἐξ ὑμῶν.

καὶ συναχθήσεσθε πάντες τὸ πρωὶ κατὰ φυλάς, καὶ ἔσται
ἡ φυλὴ ἢν ἀν’ δείξῃ Κύριος, προσάξετε κατὰ δήμους· καὶ τὸν δῆμον ὃν ἐὰν δείξη κύριος, προσάξετε κατ’ οἶκον· καὶ τὸν οἶκον ὃν ἐὰν ³
κύριος, προσάξετε κατ’ ἄνδρα.

καὶ ὃς ἂν ἐνδειχθῇ, κατακαυθήσεται ⁴ ἐν πυρί, καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶν αὐτῷ· ὅτι παρέβη τὴν διαθήκην κυρίου
καὶ ἐποίησεν ἀνόμημα ἐν Ἰσραήλ.

Καὶ ὤρθρισεν Ἰησοῦς προσήγαγεν τὸν λαὸν κατὰ φυλάς· καὶ ἐνεδείχθη ἡ φυλὴ Ἰούδα.
καὶ προσήχθη κατά δήμους, καὶ ἐνεδείχθη δῆμος Ζαραεί·

καὶ προσήχθη
κατὰ ἄνδρα,

καὶ καὶ ἐνεδείχθη Ἀχὰρ υἱὸς Ζαμβρεὶ υἱοῦ

καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τῷ Ἀχάρ Δὸς δόξαν σήμερον τῷ κυρίῳ θεῷ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ δὸς τὴν ἐξομολόγησιν καὶ ἀνάγγειλόν μοι τί ἐποίησας, καὶ μὴ
κρύψῃς ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ.

καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Ἀχὰρ τῷ Ἰησοῖ καὶ εἶπεν Ἀληθῶς ἥμαρτον ἐναντίον κυρίου θεοῦ Ἰσραήλ· οὕτως καὶ οὕτως ἐποίησα.

ἴδον ἐν τῇ προνομῇ ψιλὴν ποικίλην καὶ διακόσια δίδραχμα ἀργυρίου καὶ γλῶσσαν μίαν χρυσῆν πεντήκοντα διδράχμων, καὶ ἐνθυμηθεὶς αὐτῶν ἔλαβον· καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὰ ἐνκέκρυπται ἐν τῆ σκηνῇ μου, καὶ
τὸ ἀργύριον κέκρυπται ὑποκάτω αὐτῶν.

καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰησοῦς ἀγγέλους, καὶ ἔδραμον εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν· καὶ ταῦτα ἦν ἐνκεκρυμμένα εἰς τὴν σκηνήν, καὶ τὸ ἀργύριον ὑποκάτω αὐτῶν.

καὶ ἐξήνεγκαν αὐτὰ ἐκ τῆς σκηνῆς καὶ ἤνεγκαν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν καὶ
τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἔθηκαν αὐτὰ ἔναντι κυρίου.

καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἰησοῦς τὸν Ἀχὰρ υἱὸν Ζάρα καὶ ἀνήγαγεν αὐτὸν εἰς φάραγγα Ἀχώρ, καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς μόσχους αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ὑποζύγια αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ πρόβατα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντα αὐτοῦ, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαός
μετ’ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἀνήγαγεν αὐτοὺς εἰς Ἐμεκαχώρ.

καὶ εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς τῷ Ἀχάρ Τί ὠλέθρευσας ἡμᾶς; ἐξολεθρεύσαι σε κύριος, καθὰ καὶ
σήμερον. καὶ ἐλιθοβόλησαν αὐτὸν λίθοις πᾶς Ἰσραήλ,

καὶ ἐπέαὐτῷ σωρὸν λίθων μέγαν· καὶ ἐπαύσατο Κύριος τοῦ θυμοῦ ⁵⁶ τῆς ὀργῆς. διὰ τοῦτο ἐπωνόμασεν αὐτὸ Ἐμεκαχὼρ ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.

Translations (1)

Joshua Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 7 focus

But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the devoted thing; for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the devoted thing: and the anger of Yahweh was kindled against the children of Israel.

Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the land. The men went up and spied out Ai.

They returned to Joshua, and said to him, Don’t let all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and strike Ai; don’t make all the people to toil there; for they are but few.

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

The men of Ai struck of them about thirty-six men; and they chased them [from] before the gate even to Shebarim, and struck them at the descent; and the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.

Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of Yahweh until the evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they put dust on their heads.

Joshua said, Alas, Lord Yahweh, why have you at all brought this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to cause us to perish? would that we had been content and lived beyond the Jordan!

Oh, Lord, what shall I say, after that Israel has turned their backs before their enemies!

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

Yahweh said to Joshua, Get you up; why are you thus fallen on your face?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel near by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:

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:

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.

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.

Achan answered Joshua, and said, Of a truth I have sinned against Yahweh, the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
