Joshua 7:6-8

Tree of Life Version

⁶ Joshua then tore his clothes and fell to the ground on his face before the ark of Adonai until evening, both he and the elders of Israel, and they put dust on their heads. ⁷ “Alas, Adonai Elohim!” Joshua said. “Why did You ever bring this people across the Jordan?
