约书亚记 7:13

你起来，叫百姓自洁，对他们说：『你们要自洁，预备明天，因为耶和华—以色列的 神这样说：以色列啊，你们中间有当灭的物，你们若不除掉，在仇敌面前必站立不住！』

Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.
