ગુજરાતીયહોશુઆ ૭:૧૩
ઊઠ! લોકોને શુદ્ધ કર અને કહે, આવતીકાલને માટે તમે પોતાને શુદ્ધ કરો. કારણ કે ઇઝરાયલનો પ્રભુ યહોવાહ કહે છે, હે ઇઝરાયલ, તારી મધ્યે એક શાપિત વસ્તુ કાઢી નહિ નાખે, ત્યાં સુધી તું તારા શત્રુ આગળ ટકી શકનાર નથી.
हिन्दीयहोशू ७:१३
उठ, प्रजा के लोगों को पवित्र कर, उनसे कह; ‘सवेरे तक अपने-अपने को पवित्र कर रखो; क्योंकि इस्राएल का परमेश्वर यहोवा यह कहता है, “हे इस्राएल, तेरे मध्य में अर्पण की वस्तु है; इसलिए जब तक तू अर्पण की वस्तु को अपने मध्य में से दूर न करे तब तक तू अपने शत्रुओं के सामने खड़ा न रह सकेगा।”

In context

11Israel has sinned. Yes, they have even transgressed my covenant which I commanded them. Yes, they have even taken some of the devoted things, and have also stolen, and also deceived. They have even put it among their own stuff.

12Therefore the children of Israel can’t stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become devoted for destruction. I will not be with you any more, unless you destroy the devoted things from among you.

13Get up! Sanctify the people, and say, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, for the LORD, the God of Israel, says, “There is a devoted thing among you, Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted thing from among you.”

14In the morning therefore you shall be brought near by your tribes. It shall be that the tribe which the LORD selects shall come near by families. The family which the LORD selects shall come near by households. The household which the LORD selects shall come near man by man.

15It shall be, that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the LORD’s covenant, and because he has done a disgraceful thing in Israel.’”
