Yosua 7:17-19

7:17 He then made the clans of Judah approach and the clan of the Zerahites was selected. He made the clan of the Zerahites approach and Zabdi ¹  was selected. ²  7:18 He then made Zabdi’s ³  family approach man by man ⁴  and Achan son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, was selected. 7:19 So Joshua said to Achan, “My son, honor ⁵  the Lord God of Israel and give him praise! Tell me what you did; don’t hide anything from me!”

[7:17]  ¹ tn See the note on “Zabdi” in 1 Chr 7:1.

[7:17]  ² tn Heb “and he selected Zabdi.” The Lord is the apparent subject. The LXX supports reading a passive (Niphal) form here, as does the immediate context.

[7:18]  ³ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Zabdi) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “by men.”

[7:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “give glory to.”
