Joshua; Chapter 7 Verse 14-15
Achan’s Sin
14 “‘In the morning, present yourselves tribe by tribe. The tribe the Lord chooses shall come forward clan by clan; the clan the Lord chooses shall come forward family by family; and the family the Lord chooses shall come forward man by man. 15 Whoever is caught with the devoted things shall be destroyed by fire, along with all that belongs to him. He has violated the covenant of the Lord and has done an outrageous thing in Israel!’”
14 “کل صبح تم سب کو خداوند کے سامنے تمام خاندانی گروہوں کے ساتھ کھڑے ہو نا چا ہئے۔خداوند ایک خاندانی گروہ کو چُنے گا۔ اور تب صرف وہی خاندانی گروہ خداوند کے سامنے کھڑا رہے گا۔ پھر خداوند ان خاندانی گروہ کے ایک قبیلہ کو چنے گا۔ اور وہ قبیلہ خداوندکے سامنے کھڑا رہے گا۔ پھر وہ ایک خاندان کو اس قبیلہ سے چنے گا۔ تب پھر خداوند اس خاندان کے ہر ایک آدمی کو دیکھے گا۔ 15 جو شخص اُن چیزوں کے ساتھ پا یا جا ئے گا جنہیں ہمیں تباہ کر نا چا ہئے تھا تو اس شخص کو پکڑ لیا جا ئے گا۔اور اسکو آ گ میں ڈال کر تباہ کر دیا جائے گا۔ اور اُس کے ساتھ اسکی ہر چیز تباہ کر دی جائے گی۔ اس آدمی نے خدا وند کے ساتھ کئے گئے معاہدہ کو توڑ دیا۔ اُس نے بنی اسرائیلیوں کے ساتھ بہت ہی بُرا کام کیا ہے۔”
My point of view about above verses
God told Joshua be strong and courageous – be careful to obey my laws and decrees Moses gave you- don’t turn right or left so that you may be successful wherever you go –
After capture of Jerico city ;Israelites were unfaithful in devoted things so Lord’s anger burned against them
God told Joshua – Israelites has sinned they have broke the covenant and take some of the devoted things – they have taken some of devoted things – they stole – they lied – they turn their backs and run so they are liable to destruction
God told Joshua tell Israelites there are dedicated things among you – you can’t stand against your enemies until and unless you remove them so consecrate yourselves in preparation for tomorrow
Morning present yourself tribe by tribe, then clan by clan and then family by family and then man by man so whoever is caught with the devoted things shall be destroyed by fire along with all that belongs to him – By violating the covenant of the Lord – he has done a shameful thing in Israel
– I will not be with you any more unless you destroy whatever among you is devoted to destruction
God wants us to be up-right in our dealings towards Him and our fellow-beings and repent before He catch us as after that very bad happens
May God give us wisdom to understand His Word and apply it in our lives
