Yosua 7:13-16

7:13 Get up! Ritually consecrate the people and tell them this: ‘Ritually consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, because the Lord God of Israel says, “You are contaminated, ¹  O Israel! You will not be able to stand before your enemies until you remove what is contaminating you.” ²  7:14 In the morning you must approach in tribal order. ³  The tribe the Lord selects ⁴  must approach by clans. The clan the Lord selects must approach by families. ⁵  The family the Lord selects must approach man by man. ⁶  7:15 The one caught with the riches ⁷  must be burned up ⁸  along with all who belong to him, because he violated the Lord’s covenant and did such a disgraceful thing in Israel.’”

7:16 Bright and early the next morning Joshua made Israel approach in tribal order ⁹  and the tribe of Judah was selected.
