Joshua 7:14-16

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁴ In the morning come forward by tribes ⌞to the tent of meeting⌟. The tribe the Lord selects will come forward by families. Then the family the Lord selects will come forward by households, and the household the Lord selects will come forward man by man. ¹⁵ The man who is selected, along with everything he has, must be burned because he has ⌞stolen⌟ what the Lord has claimed. He has ignored the Lord’s requirements and done a godless thing in Israel.’ ”

¹⁶ Joshua got up early in the morning. He had Israel come forward by tribes. The tribe of Judah was selected.
