Joshua 7:13-15
New English Translation
13 Get up! Ritually consecrate the people and tell them this: ‘Ritually consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, because this is what the Lord God of Israel has said, “You are contaminated,[a] O Israel! You will not be able to stand before your enemies until you remove what is contaminating you.”[b] 14 In the morning you must approach in tribal order.[c] The tribe the Lord selects[d] must approach by clans. The clan the Lord selects must approach by families.[e] The family the Lord selects must approach man by man.[f] 15 The one caught with the riches[g] must be burned up[h] along with all who belong to him, because he violated the Lord’s covenant and did such a disgraceful thing in Israel.’”
