And the tribe that the Lord takes by lot shall come near by clans. And the clan that the Lord takes shall come near by households. And the household that the Lord takes shall come near man by man. 15 (C)And he who is taken with the devoted things shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has (D)transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and because he has done (E)an outrageous thing in Israel.’”

16 “Thus says the whole congregation of the Lord, ‘What is this breach of faith that you have committed against the God of Israel in turning away this day from following the Lord by building yourselves an altar this day (A)in rebellion against the Lord? 17 Have we not had enough of (B)the sin at Peor from which even yet we have not cleansed ourselves, and for which there came a plague upon the congregation of the Lord, 18 that you too must turn away this day from following the Lord? And if (C)you too rebel against the Lord today then tomorrow (D)he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel. 19 But now, if the land of your possession is unclean, pass over into the Lord's land (E)where the Lord's tabernacle stands, and take for yourselves a possession among us. (F)Only do not rebel against the Lord or make us as rebels by building for yourselves an altar other than the altar of the Lord our God. 20 (G)Did not Achan the son of Zerah break faith in the matter of the devoted things, and (H)wrath fell upon all the congregation of Israel? And he did not perish alone for his iniquity.’”
