Joshua 7:5-7
The Voice
5 who killed 36 of them and pursued them from the gate even to the descent toward Shebarim. When the Israelites heard their soldiers had been defeated, their courage melted away like water. 6 Then Joshua and the elders of Israel tore their robes and fell to the dirt in front of the covenant chest of the Eternal, putting dust on their heads and remaining there until evening.
Joshua: 7 Why, Eternal One, our Lord? Why have you brought us across the Jordan if only to let the Amorites destroy us? It would have been better for us to settle on the other side of the Jordan!
Joshua 7:5-7
New International Version
Joshua 7:5-7
New International Version
5 who killed about thirty-six(A) of them. They chased the Israelites from the city gate as far as the stone quarries and struck them down on the slopes. At this the hearts of the people melted in fear(B) and became like water.
6 Then Joshua tore his clothes(C) and fell facedown(D) to the ground before the ark of the Lord, remaining there till evening.(E) The elders of Israel(F) did the same, and sprinkled dust(G) on their heads. 7 And Joshua said, “Alas, Sovereign Lord, why(H) did you ever bring this people across the Jordan to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us?(I) If only we had been content to stay on the other side of the Jordan!
