And it shall be that the tribe which (C)the Lord takes shall come according to families; and the family which the Lord takes shall come by households; and the household which the Lord takes shall come man by man. 15 (D)Then it shall be that he who is taken with the accursed thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has (E)transgressed[b] the covenant of the Lord, and because he (F)has done a disgraceful thing in Israel.’ ”
