The Sin of Achan

10 The Lord said to Joshua, “Get up! Why have you fallen on your face? 11 Israel has sinned; they have (A)transgressed my covenant that I commanded them; they have taken some of the (B)devoted things; they have stolen and lied and put them among their own belongings. 12 (C)Therefore the people of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They (D)turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become (E)devoted for destruction.[a] I will be with you no more, unless you destroy (F)the devoted things from among you.
