In the morning therefore you shall be brought near by your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which Yahweh takes shall come near by families; and the family which Yahweh shall take shall come near by households; and the household which Yahweh shall take shall come near man by man.

וְנִקְרַבְתֶּ֥ם (וְ) ve. “and”וְהָיָ֡ה (וְ) ve. “and”

It shall be, that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he has; because he has transgressed the covenant of Yahweh, and because he has done folly in Israel.

וַיַּשְׁכֵּ֤ם (וַ) va “and”וַיַּקְרֵ֥ב (וַ) va “and”וַיִּלָּכֵ֖ד (וַ) va “and”

and he brought near the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zerahites: and he brought near the family of the Zerahites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:

וַיַּקְרֵב֙ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּלְכֹּ֕ד (וַ) va “and”וַיַּקְרֵ֞ב (וַ) va “and”וַיִּלָּכֵ֖ד (וַ) va “and”

and he brought near his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

וַיַּקְרֵ֥ב (וַ) va “and”וַיִּלָּכֵ֗ד (וַ) va “and”

Joshua said to Achan, My son, please give glory to Yahweh, the God of Israel, and make confession to him; and tell me now what you have done; don't hide it from me.

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

Achan answered Joshua, and said, Of a truth I have sinned against Yahweh, the God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:

וַיַּ֧עַן (וַ) va “and”וַיֹּאמַ֑ר (וַ) va “and”

when I saw among the spoil a goodly Babylonian mantle, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.

וָאֵ֣רֶא (וָ) va. “and”וָֽאֶחְמְדֵ֖ם (וָֽ) va. “and”וָֽאֶקָּחֵ֑ם (וָֽ) va. “and”

So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.

וַיִּשְׁלַ֤ח (וַ) va “and”וַיָּרֻ֖צוּ (וַ) va “and”

They took them from the midst of the tent, and brought them to Joshua, and to all the children of Israel; and they laid them down before Yahweh.

Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the mantle, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them up to the valley of Achor.

וַיִּקַּ֣ח (וַ) va “and”וַיַּעֲל֥וּ (וַ) va “and”

Joshua said, Why have you troubled us? Yahweh shall trouble you this day. All Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר (וַ) va “and”וַיִּרְגְּמ֨וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׂרְפ֤וּ (וַ) va “and”וַיִּסְקְל֥וּ (וַ) va “and”

They raised over him a great heap of stones, to this day; and Yahweh turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called "The valley of Achor" to this day.

וַיָּקִ֨ימוּ (וַ) va “and”וַיָּ֥שָׁב (וַ) va “and”

Yahweh said to Joshua, Don't be afraid, neither be dismayed: take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai; behold, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land;

וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (וַ) va “and”

You shall do to Ai and her king as you did to Jericho and her king: only the spoil of it, and the cattle of it, shall you take for a prey to yourselves: set you an ambush for the city behind it.

וְעָשִׂ֨יתָ (וְ) ve. “and”

So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valor, and sent them forth by night.

וַיָּ֧קָם (וַ) va “and”וַיִּבְחַ֣ר (וַ) va “and”וַיִּשְׁלָחֵ֖ם (וַ) va “and”

He commanded them, saying, Behold, you shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city; don't go very far from the city, but be all ready:

וַיְצַ֨ו (וַ) va “and”וִהְיִיתֶ֥ם (וִ) vi “and”

and I, and all the people who are with me, will approach to the city. It shall happen, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them;

וְהָיָ֗ה (וְ) ve. “and”וְנַ֖סְנוּ (וְ) ve. “and”

and they will come out after us, until we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: so we will flee before them;

וְיָצְא֣וּ (וְ) ve. “and”וְנַ֖סְנוּ (וְ) ve. “and”

and you shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city: for Yahweh your God will deliver it into your hand.

It shall be, when you have seized on the city, that you shall set the city on fire; according to the word of Yahweh shall you do: behold, I have commanded you.

וְהָיָ֞ה (וְ) ve. “and”

Joshua sent them forth; and they went to set up the ambush, and stayed between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.

All the people, [supplied: even] the [supplied: men of] war who were with him, went up, and drew near, and came before the city, and encamped on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between him and Ai.
