Joshua 7:13-24

13Stand up! 1Consecrate the people and say, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, because the Lord, the God of Israel, has said this: “2There are things designated for destruction in your midst, Israel. You cannot stand against your enemies until you have removed the designated things from your midst.” 14So in the morning you shall come forward by your tribes. And it shall be that the tribe which 3the Lord selects by lot shall come forward by families, and the family which the Lord selects shall come forward by households, and the household which the Lord selects shall come forward man by man. 15And 4it shall be that the one who is selected with the things designated for destruction shall be burned with fire, he and all that belongs to him, because he has violated the covenant of the Lord, and because he 5has committed a disgraceful thing in Israel.’”

16So Joshua got up early in the morning and brought Israel forward by 6tribes, and the tribe of Judah was selected. 17So he brought the family of Judah forward, and he selected the family of the Zerahites; then he brought the family of the Zerahites forward man by man, and Zabdi was selected. 18And he brought his household forward man by man; and 7Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, was selected. 19Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, I implore you, 8give glory to the Lord, the God of Israel, and give praise to Him; and tell me now what you have done. Do not hide it from me.” 20So Achan answered Joshua and said, “Truly, I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel, and 9this is what I did: 21when I saw among the spoils a beautiful robe from Shinar, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold fifty shekels in weight, then I 10wanted them and took them; and behold, they are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”

22So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and behold, it was hidden in his tent with the silver underneath it. 23So they took them from inside the tent and brought them to Joshua and to all the sons of Israel; and they 11laid them out before the Lord. 24Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the bar of gold, his sons, his daughters, his 12oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that belonged to him; and they brought them up to 13the Valley of 14Achor.
