    • L. L. Zamenhof (translator), Hebrew Scriptures, Josuo (Joshua) 7.12
      Tial la Izraelidoj ne povos rezisti antaŭ siaj malamikoj, sian dorson ili turnos al siaj malamikoj, ĉar ili falis sub anatemon; Mi ne estos plu kun vi, se vi ne malaperigos la anatemitaĵon el inter vi.
      Therefore the people of Israel cannot stand before their enemies; they turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become a thing for destruction (lit. have fallen under an anathema). I will be with you no more, unless you destroy the devoted things from among you.
