Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ and Joshua rent his clothes. Now when Joshua had prostrated himself, with his face on the ground, before the Lord until evening, he and the elders of Israel, and they had put dust on their heads, ⁷ Joshua said, Alas, Lord! Why hath thy servant caused this people to cross the Jordan, to deliver them up to the Amorite to destroy us? Should we have tarried, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan? ⁸ What can I say, seeing Israel hath turned back from before his enemy? ⁹ When the Chananite, and all the inhabitants of this land hear this, they will encompass us, and drive us from this land. What then wilt thou do in respect to thy great name? ¹⁰ Thereupon the Lord said to Joshua, Arise; why hast thou fallen on thy face? ¹¹ This people hath sinned, and transgressed the covenant which I made with them. They have stolen some of what was devoted, and put it among their stuff; ¹² therefore the children of Israel cannot stand before the face of their enemies. They shall turn back before their enemies, because they are become devoted. I will no more be with you, unless you remove the Anathema from among you. ¹³ Arise, hallow the people, and order them to hallow themselves, against to-morrow. Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel, The Anathema is among you. You cannot stand before your enemies, until you remove the Anathema from among you.
