Joshua 7:1-2

Christian Standard Bible

Defeat at Ai

7 The Israelites, however, were unfaithful^(A) regarding the things set apart for destruction. Achan son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of what was set apart, and the Lord’s anger burned against the Israelites.

² Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-aven,^(B) east of Bethel, and told them, “Go up and scout the land.” So the men went up and scouted Ai.
