Joshua 7

Israel's defeat at 'Ai results from 'Achan's theft of devoted items from Yericho; YHWH reveals the sin, 'Achan and his household are identified, stoned, and burned in the Valley of 'Achor to purify the camp.[1][5]

Interlinear Text

and they acted unfaithfully sons of Israel trespass in the devoted thing and took Achan son of Carmi son of Zabdi son of Zerah of the tribe of Judah from the devoted thing and burned anger of YHWH against the sons of Israel
and sent Joshua men from Jericho Ai which beside Beth aven east of Beth el and said to them saying Go up and spy out the land And went up the men and spied out Ai
and they returned to Joshua and they said to him not let go up all the people about two thousand men or about three thousand men let go up and they will strike - Ai do not weary there - all the people for few they
And said Joshua Alas my Lord YHWH why have you brought to bring across [direct object marker] the people this [direct object marker] the Jordan to give us into hand of the Amorite to destroy us and if only we had been willing and we had remained beyond the Jordan
and-not they-are-able sons-of Israel to-rise before their-enemies backs they-turn before their-enemies for they-have-been a-devoted-thing not I-will-add to-be with-you if not you-destroy the-devoted-thing from-among-you
Rise up consecrate [direct object marker] the people and say consecrate yourselves for tomorrow for thus says YHWH God Israel devoted thing in your midst Israel not you can to stand before your enemies until you remove the devoted thing from your midst
