Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 7 of Joshua. Joshua intercedes, asking why God allowed the defeat, and the divine response identifies the cause: Israel has sinned by taking objects devoted to destruction. The solution is not first a new military strategy, but restoration of covenant faithfulness. The procedure for identifying the guilty party eventually leads to Achan. The narrative emphasizes that Israel’s problem is not the supposed superiority of the enemy, but the breach of obedience required by God.

Israel hat sich versündigt, sie haben meinen Bund übertreten, den ich ihnen angeboten habe, und haben des Verbannten etwas genommen und gestohlen und es verleugnet und unter eure Geräte gelegt.
Israel ha pecado, y aun han quebrantado mi pacto que yo les había mandado; pues aun han tomado del anatema, y hasta han hurtado, y también han mentido, y aun lo han guardado entre sus enseres.
Israel ha pecado; también han quebrantado mi pacto, el que les mandé; también han tomado de lo consagrado a la destrucción; también han robado; también han mentido; también lo han puesto entre sus pertenencias.
Israël a péché; ils ont transgressé mon alliance que je leur ai prescrite, ils ont pris des choses dévouées par interdit, ils les ont dérobées et ont dissimulé, et ils les ont cachées parmi leurs bagages.
Israele ha peccato, e anche hanno trasgredito il mio patto, che io avea loro comandato, e anche hanno preso dell’interdetto, e anche hanno rubato, e anche hanno mentito, e anche l’hanno posto fra i loro arnesi.
Israel pecou, e transgrediram a minha aliança que lhes tinha ordenado, e tomaram do anátema, e furtaram, e mentiram, e debaixo da sua bagagem o puseram.
以色列 犯了罪,又違背了我所吩咐他們的約,又取了當滅之物。他們又偷竊,又行詭詐,又把那當滅的物與自己的器皿放在一起。
