Discipline of Armies, for Disobedience of Orders Joshua 7:10–26

But the LORD said to Joshua, “Stand up! Why have you fallen on your face? / Israel has sinned; they have transgressed My covenant that I commanded them, and they have taken some of what was devoted to destruction. Indeed, they have stolen and lied, and they have put these things with their own possessions. / This is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies. They will turn their backs and run from their enemies, because they themselves have been set apart for destruction. I will no longer be with you unless you remove from among you whatever is devoted to destruction.

The Israelites asked, “Who among all the tribes of Israel did not come to the assembly before the LORD?” For they had taken a solemn oath that anyone who failed to come up before the LORD at Mizpah would surely be put to death. / And the Israelites grieved for their brothers, the Benjamites, and said, “Today a tribe is cut off from Israel. / What should we do about wives for the survivors, since we have sworn by the LORD not to give them our daughters in marriage?”
