Joshua 7:5 in Context — Joshua 7
3 Ils revinrent auprès de Josué, et lui dirent: Il est inutile de faire marcher tout le peuple; deux ou trois mille hommes suffiront pour battre Aï; ne donne pas cette fatigue à tout le peuple, car ils sont en petit nombre.
4 Trois mille hommes environ se mirent en marche, mais ils prirent la fuite devant les gens d’Aï.
5 Les gens d’Aï leur tuèrent environ trente-six hommes; ils les poursuivirent depuis la porte jusqu’à Schebarim, et les battirent à la descente. Le peuple fut consterné et perdit courage.
6 Josué déchira ses vêtements, et se prosterna jusqu’au soir le visage contre terre devant l’arche de l’Éternel, lui et les anciens d’Israël, et ils se couvrirent la tête de poussière.
7 Josué dit: Ah! Seigneur Éternel, pourquoi as-tu fait passer le Jourdain à ce peuple, pour nous livrer entre les mains des Amoréens et nous faire périr? Oh! Si nous eussions su rester de l’autre côté du Jourdain!
