Josva 7,1

SinObedience
Men israelittene handlet troløst angående de tingene som var viet til ødeleggelse, da Akan, sønn av Karmi, sønn av Zabdi, sønn av Serah, fra Judas stamme, tok noen av disse tingene. Dermed flammet Herrens vrede opp mot israelittene.

2 Josva sendte menn fra Jeriko til Ai, som ligger nær Bet-aven, øst for Betel, og instruerte dem: “Gå opp og speid ut landet.” Så mennene gikk opp og utforsket Ai.

3 Da de vendte tilbake til Josva, rapporterte de: “Ikke alle folkene trenger å gå opp; send omtrent to eller tre tusen menn for å angripe Ai. Ikke bry hele hæren, for innbyggerne er få.”
