Joshua 7:1

Israel Defeated at Ai

1But the people of Israel broke faith in regard to the devoted things, for aAchan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the devoted things. And the anger of the Lord burned against the people of Israel.

Joshua 7:11-12

11Israel has sinned; they have btransgressed my covenant that I commanded them; they have taken some of the cdevoted things; they have stolen and lied and put them among their own belongings. 12 dTherefore the people of Israel cannot stand before their enemies. They eturn their backs before their enemies, because they have become fdevoted for destruction.
That is, set apart ( devoted) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction)
I will be with you no more, unless you destroy hthe devoted things from among you.
