Joshua 7:15-25
15And 1it 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 2has committed a disgraceful thing in Israel.’”
16So Joshua got up early in the morning and brought Israel forward by 3tribes, 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 4Achan, 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, 5give 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 6this 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 7wanted 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 8laid 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 9oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that belonged to him; and they brought them up to 10the Valley of 11Achor. 25And Joshua said, “Why have you 12brought disaster on us? The Lord will bring disaster on you this day.” And all Israel stoned 13them with stones; and they burned them with fire 14after they had stoned them with stones.
