Joshua 7:14-18
New American Standard Bible
14 So in the morning you shall come forward by your tribes. And it shall be that the tribe which (A)the Lord selects by lot shall come forward by families, and the family which the Lord selects shall come forward by households, and the household which the Lord selects shall come forward man by man. 15 And (B)it shall be that the one who is selected with the things designated for destruction shall be burned with fire, he and all that belongs to him, because he has violated the covenant of the Lord, and because he (C)has committed a disgraceful thing in Israel.’”
