約書亞記 7:13

你起來，叫百姓自潔，對他們說：『你們要自潔，預備明天，因為耶和華－以色列的上帝這樣說：以色列啊，你們中間有當滅的物，你們若不除掉，在仇敵面前必站立不住！』

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.
