Context of Joshua 7:24
22So Joshua sent messengers who ran to the tent, and behold, it was buried in his tent with the silver underneath it. 23Then they took them from the middle of the tent and brought them to Joshua and to all Bnei-Yisrael, and they laid them down before Adonai. Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the mantle, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep and his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them up to the Valley of Achor. 25Then Joshua said, “Why have you brought trouble on us? Adonai will trouble you this day.” Then all Israel stoned him with stones, burned them with fire and stoned them with stones. 26They raised over him a great heap of stones that stands to this day. Then Adonai turned from the fierceness of His anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called the Valley of Achor to this day.

Commentaries on Joshua 7:24
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 24Joshua - took Achan - and all that he had - He and his cattle and substance were brought to the valley to be consumed; his sons and his daughters, probably, to witness the judgments of God inflicted on their disobedient parent. See Joshua 7:25.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 24The sin had been national (Joshua 7:1 note), and accordingly the expiation of it was no less so.

By taking the stolen items, Achan brought guilt on everything connected to him. For this reason, all were included in the judgment against him.Read the comment

Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan--He with his children and all his property, cattle as well as movables, were brought into one of the long broad ravines that open into the Ghor, and after being stoned to death (Nu 15:30-35), his corpse, with all belonging to him, was consumed to ashes by fire.
