Joz 7, 1-26

1 But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel. 2 And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth-aven, on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country. And the men went up and viewed Ai. 3 And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few. 4 So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai. 5 And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water. 6 And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads. 7 And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord GOD, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan! 8 O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies! 9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name? 10 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face? 11 Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff. 12 Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you. 13 Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you. 14 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man. 15 And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel. 16 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken: 17 And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken: 18 And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. 19 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me. 20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done: 21 When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it. 22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it. 23 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD. 24 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor. 25 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones. 26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.

Joz 7, 1-26





Verš 1
But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.
Joz 22:20 - Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.
1Krn 2:7 - And the sons of Carmi; Achar, the troubler of Israel, who transgressed in the thing accursed.

Joz 7,1 - Hoci sa dopustil krádeže len sám Achan, je celá izraelská pospolitosť zaťažená vierolomnosťou. Previesť chérem do dôsledkov bolo totiž povinnosťou všetkých, celej izraelskej obce. Preto kým trpia medzi sebou nepotrestaného vinníka, sú všetci zodpovední za jeho zločin. Porov. 6,18; 22,20.

Joz 7,2 - Betel stál na mieste dnešnej arabskej dedinky Betin, asi 17 km severne od Jeruzalema. Pozri Gn 28,19; 31,13. Bethaven stál na hranici podielu Benjamínovho (Joz 18,12), asi západne od Machmás (1 Sam 13,5; 14,23). Hai bol juhovýchodne od Betina. Niektorí (Guérin) ho hľadajú na mieste dnešných zrúcanín "Chirbet el Kudeire", iní (Conder) zas ho stotožňujú so zrúcaninami "Chirbet et Haijan", asi hodinu od Betina, iní ináč. – Vyzvedači museli "vystupovať" z Jericha do Haia, lebo jeho nadmorská výška bola omnoho vyššia.

Joz 7,6-9 - O podobných prejavoch smútku pozri Gn 37,34; 1 Sam 4,12; 2 Sam 1,2; Jób 1,20; 2,12 a inde. – Pohanské národy by si vysvetľovali porážku Izraelitov ako slabosť a nevernosť ich Boha, Jahveho. Tým by utrpelo jeho meno, t. j. jeho česť. Preto tá otázka: "A čo ty urobíš pre svoje veľké meno?"

Joz 7,11 - Porušenie kliatby (chérem) je svätokrádež, ktorá poškvrňuje celé spoločenstvo.

Joz 7,14-23 - Pravdepodobne boli použité posvätné lósy, zvané "urim" a "tumim", ktoré mohol používať len veľkňaz (porov. 1 Sam 23,6). Boli to dva či tri kamienky vo veľkňazskom náprsníku (Ex 28,30; Lv 8,8). Keď sa chcel veľkňaz niečo dozvedieť od Boha pomocou týchto lósov, musel klásť otázky tak, že odpoveď mohla byť buď "áno" alebo "nie". Porovnaj 1 Sam 14,37; 23,2.11; 30,8; 2 Sam 2,1; 5,19. Jeden kamienok bol označený asi písmenom alef pre odpoveď kladnú – "áno" a druhý písmenom tau pre odpoveď zápornú – "nie". Keď Boh nechcel odpovedať, vtedy vytiahol veľkňaz kamienok bez označenia. – V našom prípade asi náčelníci kmeňov, rodov, rodín a nakoniec jednotliví mužovia z rodiny Zabdiho predstupovali pred veľkňaza, ktorý zakaždým ťahal posvätné lósy. Tak bol od Jahveho označený kmeň Júdov a nakoniec sám Achan. – Keď Achan vyznal a priznal svoju vinu, doznal, že je Jahve vševediaci a tým mu vzdal česť a chválu. Našli sa u neho rôzne cennosti, ako babylonský (Vg "červený") plášť (Senaár-Babylonsko), 200 šeklov striebra (asi 3 kg), kus zlata, ktoré malo podobu jazyka a vážilo 50 šeklov (asi 800 gr).

Joz 7,24-26 - Trest postihol nielen Achana, ale aj jeho rodinu. Táto mala účasť na jeho zločine aspoň tým, že o ňom mlčala, tajila ho.

Joz 7,26 - Ktorá jestvuje až dodnes – rozumej v čase pisateľa knihy.
