Joshua 7:10-13

English Standard Version

The Sin of Achan

¹⁰ The Lord said to Joshua, “Get up! Why have you fallen on your face? ¹¹ Israel has sinned; they have ^(A)transgressed my covenant that I commanded them; they have taken some of the ^(B)devoted things; they have stolen and lied and put them among their own belongings. ^12 (C)Therefore the people of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They ^(D)turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become ^(E)devoted for destruction.^[a] I will be with you no more, unless you destroy ^(F)the devoted things from among you. ¹³ Get up! Consecrate the people and say, ^(G)‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow; for thus says the Lord, God of Israel, “There are devoted things in your midst, O Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted things from among you.”
