NASB | Joshua 7:1 But the sons of Israel acted unfaithfully in regard to the things under the ban, for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took some of the things under the ban, therefore the anger of the LORD burned against the sons of Israel. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Joshua 7:1 But the sons of Israel acted unfaithfully and violated their obligation in regard to the things [off limits] under the ban [those things belonging to the LORD], for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took some of the things under the ban [for personal gain]. Therefore the anger of the LORD burned against the Israelites. |
Bible Question: in 1 Samuel 15:3 and around those verses, it seems the Lord commands the extermination of a people. i ahve recently found other passages in the bible where God commands differnt people to kill massive amounts of people, why? can anyone explain this?? |
Bible Answer: If you look at vs. 2 in the same chapter it said that The Lord of hosts, remembered that which Amalek did to Israel! The Lord handed down Jugdement on Amalek. The All Mighty God knows all of our thoughts, pass and present, and He is the Jugde of all the earth. And if He commanded someone to be destroyed it had to be done. But notice King Saul did'nt do what God had commanded vs. 9-11, and God rejected him (Saul) from being King over Israel vs.22-23. This is the whole point, God want us to (OBEY) His commandments vs.24, and not man's. |
