Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 14 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes:
    • B 14 and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to the families thereof;
      • C 14 and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households;
        • D 14 and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.
          • E 15 And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.
  • A' 16 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes;
    • B' 16-17 and the tribe of Judah was taken: And he brought the family of Judah;
      • C' 17 and he took the family of the Zarhites:
        • D' 17-18 and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken: And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
