¹² Therefore the ^(A)sons of Israel cannot rise before their enemies; they turn their ^[a]backs before their enemies, for they have become devoted to destruction. I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy the things devoted to destruction from your midst. ¹³ Rise up! ^(B)Set the people apart as holy and say, ‘Set yourselves apart as holy for tomorrow, for thus Yahweh, the God of Israel, has said, “^(C)There are things devoted to destruction in your midst, O Israel. You cannot rise before your enemies until you have removed the things devoted to destruction from your midst.” ¹⁴ In the morning then you shall come near by your tribes. And it will be that the tribe which ^(D)Yahweh takes by lot shall come near by families, and the family which Yahweh takes shall come near by households, and the household which Yahweh takes shall come near man by man.
