Joshua 7:16

16 surgens itaque Iosue mane adplicavit Israhel per tribus suas et inventa est tribus Iuda

Joshua 7:16 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 7:16

So Joshua rose up early in the morning
Which showed his readiness and diligence to obey the command of God; and as there was much work to do, it required that he should rise early:

and brought Israel by their tribes:
before the Lord, at the tabernacle, where he and the high priest and elders attended; each tribe was thither brought by their representatives:

and the tribe of Judah was taken:
either his stone in the breastplate of the high priest looked dull, as some say, or rather the lot being cast fell on that tribe.

Joshua 7:16 In-Context

14 accedetisque mane singuli per tribus vestras et quamcumque tribum sors invenerit accedet per cognationes suas et cognatio per domos domusque per viros

15 et quicumque ille in hoc facinore fuerit deprehensus conburetur igni cum omni substantia sua quoniam praevaricatus est pactum Domini et fecit nefas in Israhel

16 surgens itaque Iosue mane adplicavit Israhel per tribus suas et inventa est tribus Iuda

17 quae cum iuxta familias suas esset oblata inventa est familia Zarai illam quoque per viros offerens repperit Zabdi

18 cuius domum in singulos dividens viros invenit Achan filium Charmi filii Zabdi filii Zare de tribu Iuda
