여호수아 7
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
아간의 죄
7 그러나 이스라엘 백성은 주께서 모든 것을 완전히 쳐부수어 없애 버리라고 하신 주의 명령을 신실하게 지키지 않았다. 아간이라는 자가 하나님께 바쳐야 할 물건 몇 가지를 몰래 가졌다. 아간은 유다 가문 출신인 세라의 증손자이며 삽디의 손자이고 갈미의 아들이었다. 이 일 때문에 주께서 이스라엘 백성에게 몹시 노하셨다.
2 여호수아가 여리고에서 베델 동쪽 벳아웬 가까이에 있는 아이[a] 성으로 사람들을 보내면서 말하였다. “올라가서 그 지역을 잘 살펴보라.” 그리하여 여호수아의 명령을 받은 사람들이 올라가서 아이 성을 정탐하였다.
3 그들은 여호수아에게 돌아와 말하였다. “아이 성을 치려고 온 백성이 다 올라가지 않아도 되겠습니다. 이천 명이나 삼천 명만 보내어 그 성을 치도록 하십시오. 그 성에는 사람이 많지 않으니 온 백성을 힘들게 하지 마십시오.”
4 그리하여 삼천 명쯤의 군사가 올라갔다. 그러나 이스라엘 군사는 아이 성 사람 앞에서 형편없이 무너지면서 5 서른여섯 명이나 그들의 손에 죽임을 당하였다. 아이 성 사람들은 성문에서부터 채석장까지 추격하며, 비탈길에서 도망치는 이스라엘 군사들을 무찔렀다. 이렇게 되자 백성의 심장이 녹아내려 물처럼 되었다.
6 여호수아는 깊은 슬픔에 빠져, 옷을 찢고 하나님의 궤 앞에서 얼굴을 땅에 대고 엎드려 저녁때까지 있었다. 이스라엘의 장로들도 그와 꼭 같이 하며 머리에 티끌을 뿌렸다[b].
7 여호수아가 아뢰었다. “주 하나님, 주께서는 우리가 요단 강을 건너 이곳으로 오게 해 주셨습니다. 그런데 어찌하여 이제 우리를 아모리 사람의 손에 넘겨 멸망시키려 하십니까? 우리가 차라리 요단 강 저편에서 사는 것으로 만족하며 살았더라면 좋을 뻔하였습니다. 8 오, 주님, 이스라엘이 적에게 이렇게 참패를 당한 마당에 제가 무슨 말을 할 수 있겠습니까? 9 이제 가나안 사람과 이 지역에 사는 모든 민족이 이 일에 대한 소문을 듣게 될 것입니다. 그러면 그들은 우리를 에워싸고 우리의 이름을 땅에서 완전히 사라지게 만들 것입니다. 그러면 주님은 주의 크신 이름을 위하여 어떻게 하시렵니까?”
10 주께서 여호수아에게 말씀하셨다. “일어나라. 네가 어찌하여 얼굴을 땅에 대고 엎드려 있느냐? 11 이스라엘이 죄를 지었다. 그들은 나와 맺은 계약을 지키지 않았다. 나는 그들에게 그것을 꼭 지키라고 명하였다. 내가 그들에게 완전히 없애 버리라고 명한 몇 가지를 몰래 가졌다. 그들은 그것들을 훔치고, 거짓말을 하고, 그 물건들을 자신들의 물건 가운데 숨겨 놓았다. 12 그 때문에 이스라엘 백성은 적과 싸워 이길 수 없는 것이다. 그들은 이미 멸망당하도록 정죄를 받았기 때문에, 적 앞에서 등을 돌리고 도망치는 것이다. 너희는 내가 완전히 없애 버리라고 명한 것을 너희 가운데서 없애 버려라. 그렇게 하지 않으면 내가 더는 너희와 함께하지 않을 것이다.
13 너는 이제 가서 백성을 거룩하게 하여라. 그리고 이렇게 말하여라. ‘너희는 내일 있을 우리의 모임을 위해 자신들을 거룩하게 하여라. 주 이스라엘의 하나님께서 이렇게 말씀하신다. 이스라엘아, 내가 완전히 없애 버리라고 너희에게 명한 물건들이 너희 가운데 숨겨져 있다. 너희가 그러한 물건들을 없애 버리기 전에는 결코 너희의 적을 당해낼 수 없을 것이다. 14 내일 아침 너희는 가문 별로 나오너라. 주께서 뽑으시는 가문은 갈래 별로 앞으로 나오너라. 또 주께서 뽑으신 갈래는 가족별로 나오고, 주께서 뽑으신 가족은 한 사람씩 나오너라. 15 완전히 없애 버렸어야 할 물건을 가지고 있는 것으로 드러나는 사람은 불에 태우겠다. 그리고 그에게 딸린 모든 것도 그와 함께 불태워 버리겠다. 그가 주와 맺은 계약을 어기고 이스라엘에서 아주 부끄러운 짓을 하였기 때문이다.’”
16 다음날 아침 일찍 여호수아는 모든 이스라엘 사람을 가문별로 나오게 하였다. 그렇게 하였더니 유다 가문이 뽑혔다. 17 유다 가문에 속한 갈래가 모두 나오니 세라 갈래가 뽑혔다. 세라 갈래에 속한 모든 가족이 나오니 삽디 가족이 뽑혔다. 18 여호수아가 삽디 가족에 속한 사람들을 한 사람씩 나오게 하니, 유다 가문에서 세라의 증손자이며 삽디의 손자이고 갈미의 아들인 아간이 뽑혔다.
19 여호수아가 아간에게 말하였다. “내 아들아, 너는 주 이스라엘의 하나님께 영광을 돌리고[c] 그분께 찬양을 돌려라[d]. 네가 한 짓을 하나도 숨기지 말고 내게 말하여라.”
20 아간이 대답하였다. “제가 진실로 주 이스라엘의 하나님께 죄를 지었습니다. 제가 저지른 일을 다 말씀드리겠습니다. 21 전리품 가운데는 시날[e]에서 만든 멋진 외투 한 벌과 이백 세겔[f] 나가는 은과 오십 세겔[g] 나가는 금덩이가 있었습니다. 저는 그것들을 보고 탐이 나서 가졌습니다. 그리고 제 천막 안 땅속에 감추어 두었는데 은을 맨 밑에 두었습니다.”
22 여호수아가 아간의 천막으로 사람들을 보냈다. 그들이 그리로 달려가 보니 물건들이 그 천막 안에 숨겨져 있는데 은이 맨 밑에 있었다. 23 그들은 숨겨졌던 물건들을 꺼내어 여호수아와 모든 이스라엘 백성 앞으로 가지고 와서 그것들을 하나님 앞에 펼쳐 놓았다.
24 여호수아는 온 이스라엘 백성과 함께 세라의 증손 아간을 끌고 아골 골짜기로 올라갔다. 그들은 그 은과 외투와 금덩이와 아간의 아들들과 딸들과 그의 소와 나귀와 양과 천막과 그가 가진 모든 것을 함께 끌고 올라갔다. 25 여호수아가 아간에게 말하였다. “어찌하여 너는 우리에게 이런 괴로움을 안겨 주었느냐? 주께서 오늘 너에게 괴로움을 주실 것이다.”
그러자 온 이스라엘이 아간과 그의 가족을 돌로 쳐서 죽인 다음 그 모두를 불살라 버렸다. 26 그들은 아간의 주검 위에 돌무더기를 쌓았다. 그 돌무더기가 아직까지도 그곳에 남아 있다. 이렇게 하고 나서야 주께서 맹렬한 노여움을 거두셨다. 이러한 사연 때문에 사람들은 그때부터 그곳을 아골[h] 골짜기라고 불렀다.

Achan Sins Against the Lord
7 But the Israelites weren’t faithful to the Lord. They didn’t destroy what had been set apart to him. So they did not do what they had been told to do. Achan had taken some of those things. So the Lord became very angry with Israel. Achan was the son of Karmi. Karmi was the son of Zimri. And Zimri was the son of Zerah. Achan and all his relatives were from the tribe of Judah.
2 Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai. Ai is near Beth Aven east of Bethel. Joshua told the men, “Go up and check out the area around Ai.” So the men went up and checked it out.
3 Then they returned to Joshua. They said, “The whole army doesn’t have to go up and attack Ai. Send only two or three thousand men. They can take the city. Don’t make the whole army go up there. Only a few people live in Ai.” 4 So only about 3,000 troops went up. But the men of Ai drove them away. 5 They chased the Israelites from the city gate all the way to Shebarim. They killed about 36 of them on the way down. So the Israelites were terrified.
6 Joshua and the elders of Israel became sad. Joshua tore his clothes. He fell in front of the ark of the Lord with his face to the ground. He remained there until evening. The elders did the same thing. They also sprinkled dust on their heads. 7 Joshua said, “Lord and King, why did you ever bring these people across the Jordan River? Did you want to hand us over to the Amorites? Did you want them to destroy us? I wish we had been content to stay on the other side of the Jordan! 8 Lord, our enemies have driven us away. What can I say? 9 The Canaanites will hear about it. So will everyone else in the country. They will surround us. They’ll erase any mention of our name from the face of the earth. Then what will you do when people don’t honor your great name anymore?”
10 The Lord said to Joshua, “Get up! What are you doing down there on your face? 11 Israel has sinned. I made a covenant with them. I commanded them to keep it. But they have broken it. They have taken some of the things that had been set apart to me in a special way to be destroyed. They have stolen. They have lied. They have taken the things they stole and have put them with their own things. 12 That is why the Israelites can’t stand up against their enemies. They turn their backs and run. That’s because I have decided to let them be destroyed. You must destroy the things you took that had been set apart to me. If you do not, I will not be with you anymore.
13 “Go and set the people apart. Tell them, ‘Make yourselves pure. Get ready for tomorrow. Here is what the Lord, the God of Israel, wants you to do. He says, “People of Israel, you have kept some of the things that had been set apart to me to be destroyed. You can’t stand up against your enemies until you get rid of those things.”
14 “ ‘In the morning, come forward tribe by tribe. The tribe the Lord chooses will come forward group by group. The group the Lord chooses will come forward family by family. And the men in the family the Lord chooses will come forward one by one. 15 Whoever is caught with the things that had been set apart to the Lord will be destroyed by fire. Everything that belongs to that person will also be destroyed. He has broken the Lord’s covenant. He has done a very terrible thing in Israel!’ ”
16 Early the next morning Joshua had Israel come forward by tribes. The tribe of Judah was chosen. 17 The groups of Judah came forward. The group of Zerah was chosen. Joshua had the group of Zerah come forward by families. The family of Zimri was chosen. 18 He had their men come forward one by one. Achan was chosen. Achan was the son of Karmi. Karmi was the son of Zimri. And Zimri was the son of Zerah. Zerah was from the tribe of Judah.
19 Joshua said to Achan, “My son, the Lord is the God of Israel. So give him glory and honor him by telling the truth! Tell me what you have done. Don’t hide it from me.”
20 Achan replied, “It’s true! I’ve sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel. Here is what I’ve done. 21 I saw a beautiful robe from Babylonia among the things we had taken. I saw five pounds of silver. And I saw a gold bar that weighed 20 ounces. I wanted them, so I took them. I hid them in the ground inside my tent. The silver is on the bottom.”
22 So Joshua sent some messengers. They ran to Achan’s tent. And there was everything, hidden in his tent! The silver was on the bottom. 23 They brought the things out of the tent. They took them to Joshua and all the Israelites. And they spread them out in the sight of the Lord.
24 Then Joshua and all the people grabbed Achan, the son of Zerah. They took the silver, the robe and the gold bar. They took Achan’s sons and daughters. They took his cattle, donkeys and sheep. They also took his tent and everything he had. They carried all of it out to the Valley of Achor. 25 Joshua said to Achan, “Why have you brought this trouble on us? The Lord will bring trouble on you today.”
Then all the people killed Achan by throwing stones at him. They also killed the rest of his family with stones. They burned all of them up. 26 They placed a large pile of rocks on top of Achan’s body. The place has been called the Valley of Achor ever since. That pile is still there to this day. After the people killed Achan, the Lord was no longer angry with them.

Achan’s Sin
7 But the Israelites were unfaithful in regard to the devoted things[a];(A) Achan(B) son of Karmi, the son of Zimri,[b] the son of Zerah,(C) of the tribe of Judah,(D) took some of them. So the Lord’s anger burned(E) against Israel.(F)
2 Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai,(G) which is near Beth Aven(H) to the east of Bethel,(I) and told them, “Go up and spy out(J) the region.” So the men went up and spied out Ai.
3 When they returned to Joshua, they said, “Not all the army will have to go up against Ai. Send two or three thousand men to take it and do not weary the whole army, for only a few people live there.” 4 So about three thousand went up; but they were routed by the men of Ai,(K) 5 who killed about thirty-six(L) 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(M) and became like water.
6 Then Joshua tore his clothes(N) and fell facedown(O) to the ground before the ark of the Lord, remaining there till evening.(P) The elders of Israel(Q) did the same, and sprinkled dust(R) on their heads. 7 And Joshua said, “Alas, Sovereign Lord, why(S) did you ever bring this people across the Jordan to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us?(T) If only we had been content to stay on the other side of the Jordan! 8 Pardon your servant, Lord. What can I say, now that Israel has been routed by its enemies? 9 The Canaanites and the other people of the country will hear about this and they will surround us and wipe out our name from the earth.(U) What then will you do for your own great name?(V)”
10 The Lord said to Joshua, “Stand up! What are you doing down on your face? 11 Israel has sinned;(W) they have violated my covenant,(X) which I commanded them to keep. They have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, they have lied,(Y) they have put them with their own possessions.(Z) 12 That is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies;(AA) they turn their backs(AB) and run(AC) because they have been made liable to destruction.(AD) I will not be with you anymore(AE) unless you destroy whatever among you is devoted to destruction.
13 “Go, consecrate the people. Tell them, ‘Consecrate yourselves(AF) in preparation for tomorrow; for this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: There are devoted things among you, Israel. You cannot stand against your enemies until you remove them.
14 “‘In the morning, present(AG) yourselves tribe by tribe. The tribe the Lord chooses(AH) shall come forward clan by clan; the clan the Lord chooses shall come forward family by family; and the family the Lord chooses shall come forward man by man. 15 Whoever is caught with the devoted things(AI) shall be destroyed by fire,(AJ) along with all that belongs to him.(AK) He has violated the covenant(AL) of the Lord and has done an outrageous thing in Israel!’”(AM)
16 Early the next morning Joshua had Israel come forward by tribes, and Judah was chosen. 17 The clans of Judah came forward, and the Zerahites were chosen.(AN) He had the clan of the Zerahites come forward by families, and Zimri was chosen. 18 Joshua had his family come forward man by man, and Achan son of Karmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah,(AO) was chosen.(AP)
19 Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory(AQ) to the Lord, the God of Israel, and honor him. Tell(AR) me what you have done; do not hide it from me.”
20 Achan replied, “It is true! I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel. This is what I have done: 21 When I saw in the plunder(AS) a beautiful robe from Babylonia,[c] two hundred shekels[d] of silver and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels,[e] I coveted(AT) them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”
22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and there it was, hidden in his tent, with the silver underneath. 23 They took the things from the tent, brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites and spread them out before the Lord.
24 Then Joshua, together with all Israel, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the gold bar, his sons(AU) and daughters, his cattle, donkeys and sheep, his tent and all that he had, to the Valley of Achor.(AV) 25 Joshua said, “Why have you brought this trouble(AW) on us? The Lord will bring trouble on you today.”
Then all Israel stoned him,(AX) and after they had stoned the rest, they burned them.(AY) 26 Over Achan they heaped(AZ) up a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day.(BA) Then the Lord turned from his fierce anger.(BB) Therefore that place has been called the Valley of Achor[f](BC) ever since.
