Joshua 7:11-13
New English Translation

11 Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenantal commandment![a] They have taken some of the riches;[b] they have stolen them and deceitfully put them among their own possessions.[c] 12 The Israelites are unable to stand before their enemies; they retreat because they have become subject to annihilation.[d] I will no longer be with you,[e] unless you destroy what has contaminated you.[f] 13 Get up! Ritually consecrate the people and tell them this: ‘Ritually consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, because this is what the Lord God of Israel has said, “You are contaminated,[g] O Israel! You will not be able to stand before your enemies until you remove what is contaminating you.”[h]
