6 Then Joshua rent his clothes and fell upon his face to the earth before the ark of Yahweh until the evening, he and the elders of Israel,––and they lifted up dust upon their heads.
7 And Joshua said––Alas! My Lord Yahweh! Wherefore hast thou, brought, this people over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorite to destroy us? Would then we had been content to dwell on the other side of the Jordan!
8 Oh My Lord,––what shall I say, after Israel have turned their backs before their enemies?
9 Only let the Canaanite and all the inhabitants of the land hear, and they will surround us, and cut off our name out of the earth,––what then wilt thou do for thy great name?
10 And Yahweh said unto Joshua––Get thee up! wherefore is it that thou art lying upon thy face? 11 Israel hath sinned, yea moreover they have transgressed my covenant which I commanded them,––yea moreover they have taken of what was devoted, yea moreover they have stolen, yea moreover they have dissembled, yea moreover they have put it among their own goods. 12 Therefore cannot the sons of Israel stand before their enemies, their back, do they turn before their enemies, because they have become devoted,––I will no more be with you, except ye destroy the devoted thing out of your midst. 13 Up! hallow the people, and thou shalt say, Hallow yourselves by tomorrow,––for, Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel: A devoted thing, is in the midst of thee O Israel, Thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye have put away the devoted thing out of your midst.
