6:24 But they burned ¹  the city and all that was in it, except for the silver, gold, and bronze and iron items they put in the treasury of the Lord’s house. ² 

Yosua 7:6

7:6 Joshua tore his clothes; ³  he and the leaders ⁴  of Israel lay face down on the ground before the ark of the Lord until evening ⁵  and threw dirt on their heads. ⁶ 

[6:24]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text adds “with fire.”

[6:24]  ² tn Heb “the treasury of the house of the Lord.” Technically the Lord did not have a “house” yet, so perhaps this refers to the tabernacle using later terminology.

[7:6]  ³ sn Tearing one’s clothes was an outward expression of extreme sorrow (see Gen 37:34; 44:13).

[7:6]  ⁴ tn Or “elders.”

[7:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “and fell on his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord until evening, he and the elders of Israel.”

[7:6]  ⁶ sn Throwing dirt on one’s head was an outward expression of extreme sorrow (see Lam 2:10; Ezek 27:30).
