1 Joz 7, 1 But the sons of Israel transgressed the commandment, and they usurped what was anathema. For Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took something from what was anathema. And the Lord became angry against the sons of Israel. 2 Joz 7, 2 And when Joshua sent men from Jericho against Ai, which is beside Bethaven, toward the eastern region of the town of Bethel, he said to them, “Go up and explore the land.” And they fulfilled his instruction, and they explored Ai. 3 Joz 7, 3 And returning, they said to him: “Let not the entire people go up. Instead, let two or three thousand men go out and destroy the city. Why 119 should all the people be troubled without cause against enemies that are so very few?” 4 Joz 7, 4 Therefore, they went up with three thousand fighters. And they promptly turned their backs, 5 Joz 7, 5 and were struck down by the men of the city of Ai. And thirty-six men of them fell. And the adversaries pursued them from the gate, even as far as Shebarim. And they felled them as they were fleeing downward. And the heart of the people was struck with fear, and it melted like water. 6 Joz 7, 6 And truly, Joshua tore his garments, and he fell prone on the ground before the ark of the Lord, even until evening, both he and all the elders of Israel. And they cast dust upon their heads. 7 Joz 7, 7 And Joshua said: “Alas, O Lord God! Why would you want to lead this people over the river Jordan, so that you might deliver us into the hand of the Amorite and destroy us? I wish that we had remained beyond the Jordan, as when we began. 8 Joz 7, 8 My Lord God, what shall I say, seeing Israel turning their backs to their enemies? 9 Joz 7, 9 The Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and coming together as one, they will surround us, and they will wipe our name from the earth. And what will you do concerning your great name?” 10 Joz 7, 10 And the Lord said to Joshua: “Rise up. Why are you lying flat on the ground? 11 Joz 7, 11 Israel has sinned and transgressed my covenant. And they have taken from what is anathema. And they have stolen and lied, and they have hidden it among their goods. 12 Joz 7, 12 Israel is not able to stand before his enemies, and he will flee from them. For he has been defiled by what is anathema. I will be no longer be with you, until you destroy him who is guilty of this wickedness. 13 Joz 7, 13 Rise up. Sanctify the people. And you shall say to them: ‘Be sanctified tomorrow. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: That which is anathema is in your midst, O Israel! You are not able to stand before your enemies, until he who has been contaminated by this wickedness is taken away from you.’ 14 Joz 7, 14 And you shall draw near in the morning, each one by your tribes. And whichever tribe will be found by lot shall come forward by its families, and the families by houses, and the house by the men. 15 Joz 7, 15 And whoever he may be that will be found guilty of this deed, he shall be burnt with fire with all his substance. For he transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and he committed a wicked act in Israel.” 16 Joz 7, 16 And so Joshua, rising in the morning, brought forth Israel by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was found. 17 Joz 7, 17 And when its families had been presented, the family of Zerah was found. Likewise, bringing that one forward by the houses, he discovered Zabdi. 18 Joz 7, 18 And dividing his house by each man, he found Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah. 19 Joz 7, 19 And Joshua said to Achan: “My son, give glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, and confess, and reveal to me what you have done. You may not conceal it.” 20 Joz 7, 20 And Achan responded to Joshua, and he said to him: “Truly, I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel, and I have done one thing and another. 21 Joz 7, 21 For I saw among the spoils a very fine scarlet cloak, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a gold bar of fifty shekels. And coveting these, I took and hid them in the ground near the middle of my tent, and I covered the silver with the soil that I had dug.” 22 Joz 7, 22 Therefore, Joshua sent ministers, who, running to his tent, discovered everything hidden in the same place, together with the silver. 23 Joz 7, 23 And taking these from the tent, they brought them to Joshua, and to all the sons of Israel, and they cast them down before the Lord. 24 Joz 7, 24 And so Joshua took Achan, the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the cloak, and the gold bar, also his sons and daughters, the oxen and donkeys and sheep, and even the tent and all his goods, (and all of Israel went with him,) and he brought these to the valley of Achor. 25 Joz 7, 25 There, Joshua said: “Because you have troubled us, the Lord troubles you, on this day.” And all of Israel stoned him. And all the things that were his were consumed by fire. 26 Joz 7, 26 And they gathered upon him a great pile of stones, which remains even to the present day. And the fury of the Lord was averted from them. And the name of that place was called the Valley of Achor, even to this day.

Verš 1
But the sons of Israel transgressed the commandment, and they usurped what was anathema. For Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took something from what was anathema. And the Lord became angry against the sons of Israel.
Joz 22:20 - Did not Achan, the son of Zerah, go against the commandment of the Lord, and so his wrath was laid over all the people of Israel? And he was only one man. If only he had perished in his wickedness alone!”
1Krn 2:7 - The sons of Carmi: Achar, who disturbed Israel and sinned by the theft of what was anathema.
Joz 7,1 - Hoci sa dopustil krádeže len sám Achan, je celá izraelská pospolitosť zaťažená vierolomnosťou. Previesť chérem do dôsledkov bolo totiž povinnosťou všetkých, celej izraelskej obce. Preto kým trpia medzi sebou nepotrestaného vinníka, sú všetci zodpovední za jeho zločin. Porov. 6,18; 22,20.
Joz 7,2 - Betel stál na mieste dnešnej arabskej dedinky Betin, asi 17 km severne od Jeruzalema. Pozri Gn 28,19; 31,13. Bethaven stál na hranici podielu Benjamínovho (Joz 18,12), asi západne od Machmás (1 Sam 13,5; 14,23). Hai bol juhovýchodne od Betina. Niektorí (Guérin) ho hľadajú na mieste dnešných zrúcanín "Chirbet el Kudeire", iní (Conder) zas ho stotožňujú so zrúcaninami "Chirbet et Haijan", asi hodinu od Betina, iní ináč. – Vyzvedači museli "vystupovať" z Jericha do Haia, lebo jeho nadmorská výška bola omnoho vyššia.
Joz 7,6-9 - O podobných prejavoch smútku pozri Gn 37,34; 1 Sam 4,12; 2 Sam 1,2; Jób 1,20; 2,12 a inde. – Pohanské národy by si vysvetľovali porážku Izraelitov ako slabosť a nevernosť ich Boha, Jahveho. Tým by utrpelo jeho meno, t. j. jeho česť. Preto tá otázka: "A čo ty urobíš pre svoje veľké meno?"
Joz 7,11 - Porušenie kliatby (chérem) je svätokrádež, ktorá poškvrňuje celé spoločenstvo.
Joz 7,14-23 - Pravdepodobne boli použité posvätné lósy, zvané "urim" a "tumim", ktoré mohol používať len veľkňaz (porov. 1 Sam 23,6). Boli to dva či tri kamienky vo veľkňazskom náprsníku (Ex 28,30; Lv 8,8). Keď sa chcel veľkňaz niečo dozvedieť od Boha pomocou týchto lósov, musel klásť otázky tak, že odpoveď mohla byť buď "áno" alebo "nie". Porovnaj 1 Sam 14,37; 23,2.11; 30,8; 2 Sam 2,1; 5,19. Jeden kamienok bol označený asi písmenom alef pre odpoveď kladnú – "áno" a druhý písmenom tau pre odpoveď zápornú – "nie". Keď Boh nechcel odpovedať, vtedy vytiahol veľkňaz kamienok bez označenia. – V našom prípade asi náčelníci kmeňov, rodov, rodín a nakoniec jednotliví mužovia z rodiny Zabdiho predstupovali pred veľkňaza, ktorý zakaždým ťahal posvätné lósy. Tak bol od Jahveho označený kmeň Júdov a nakoniec sám Achan. – Keď Achan vyznal a priznal svoju vinu, doznal, že je Jahve vševediaci a tým mu vzdal česť a chválu. Našli sa u neho rôzne cennosti, ako babylonský (Vg "červený") plášť (Senaár-Babylonsko), 200 šeklov striebra (asi 3 kg), kus zlata, ktoré malo podobu jazyka a vážilo 50 šeklov (asi 800 gr).
Joz 7,24-26 - Trest postihol nielen Achana, ale aj jeho rodinu. Táto mala účasť na jeho zločine aspoň tým, že o ňom mlčala, tajila ho.
Joz 7,26 - Ktorá jestvuje až dodnes – rozumej v čase pisateľa knihy.
