Joshua 7:20-26

20And AchanH5912 answered JoshuaH3091, and saidH559, Of a truth I have sinnedH2398 against Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and thus and thus have I done: 21when I sawH7200 among the spoilH7998 a goodly Babylonish mantle, and two hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701, and a wedge of goldH2091 of fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 weightH4948, then I covetedH2530 them, and tookH3947 them; and, behold, they are hidH2934 in the earthH776 in the midstH8432 of my tentH168, and the silverH3701 under it.

22So JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 messengersH4397, and they ranH7323 unto the tentH168; and, behold, it was hidH2934 in his tentH168, and the silverH3701 under it. 23And they tookH3947 them from the midstH8432 of the tentH168, and broughtH935 them unto JoshuaH3091, and unto all the children of IsraelH3478; and they laid them down before Jehovah. 24And JoshuaH3091, and all IsraelH3478 with him, tookH3947 AchanH5912 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226, and the silverH3701, and the mantle, and the wedge of goldH2091, and his sonsH1121, and his daughtersH1323, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheepH6629, and his tentH168, and all that he had: and they broughtH5927 them up unto the valleyH6010 of AchorH5911. 25And JoshuaH3091 saidH559, WhyH4100 hast thou troubledH5916 us? Jehovah shall troubleH5916 thee this dayH3117. And all IsraelH3478 stonedH5619 him with stonesH68; and they burnedH8313 them with fireH784, and stonedH5619 them with stonesH68. 26And they raisedH6965 over him a greatH1419 heapH1530 of stonesH68, unto this dayH3117; and Jehovah turnedH7725 from the fierceness of his angerH639. Wherefore the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 was calledH7121, The valleyH6010 of AchorH5911, unto this dayH3117.
