Joshua 7:20-26

20So AchanH5912 answeredH6030 JoshuaH3091 and saidH559, “TrulyH546, I have sinnedH2398 against the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, and 1thisH2088 is whatH2088 I didH6213: 21when I sawH7200 among the spoilH7998 a beautifulH2896 mantleH155 from ShinarH8152 and two hundredH3967 shekelsH8255 of silverH3701 and a barH3956 of goldH2091 fiftyH2572 shekelsH8255 in weightH4948, then I 2covetedH2530 them and tookH3947 them; and beholdH2009, they are concealedH2934 in the earthH776 insideH8432 my tentH168 with the silverH3701 underneathH8478 it.”

22So JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 messengersH4397, and they ranH7323 to the tentH168; and beholdH2009, it was concealedH2934 in his tentH168 with the silverH3701 underneathH8478 it. 23They tookH3947 them from insideH8432 the tentH168 and broughtH935 them to JoshuaH3091 and to allH3605 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, and they pouredH3332 them out beforeH6440 the LordH3068. 24Then JoshuaH3091 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with him, tookH3947 AchanH5912 the sonH1121 of ZerahH2226, the silverH3701, the mantleH155, the barH3956 of goldH2091, his sonsH1121, his daughtersH1323, his 3oxenH7794, his donkeysH2543, his sheepH6629, his tentH168 and allH3605 that belonged to him; and they broughtH5927 them up to 4the valleyH6010 of 5AchorH5911. 25JoshuaH3091 saidH559, “WhyH4100 have you 6troubledH5916 us? The LordH3068 will troubleH5916 you thisH2088 dayH3117.” And allH3605 IsraelH3478 stonedH7275 7them with stonesH68; and they burnedH8313 them with fireH784 8after they had stonedH5619 them with stonesH68. 26They raisedH6965 overH5921 him a greatH1419 heapH1530 of stonesH68 that stands to thisH2088 dayH3117, and the LordH3068 turnedH7725 from the fiercenessH2740 of His angerH639. ThereforeH5921H3651 the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 has been calledH7121 9the valleyH6010 of 10AchorH5911 to thisH2088 dayH3117.
