13 Get up, (A)sanctify[a] the people, and say, (B)‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, because thus says the Lord God of Israel: “There is an accursed thing in your midst, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the accursed thing from among you.” 14 In the morning therefore you shall be brought according to your tribes. And it shall be that the tribe which (C)the Lord takes shall come according to families; and the family which the Lord takes shall come by households; and the household which the Lord takes shall come man by man. 15 (D)Then it shall be that he who is taken with the accursed thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has (E)transgressed[b] the covenant of the Lord, and because he (F)has done a disgraceful thing in Israel.’ ”
