Joshua 7:16-25

16 So Joshua rose early in the morning and brought Israel near tribe by tribe, and the tribe of Judah was taken. 17 And he brought near the clans of Judah, and the clan of the ^aZerahites was taken. And he brought near the clan of the Zerahites man by man, and Zabdi was taken. 18 And he brought near his household man by man, and Achan the son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. 19 Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, ^bgive glory to the Lord God of Israel and ^cgive praise ^{▼▼Or and make confession} to him. And ^etell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.” 20 And Achan answered Joshua, “Truly ^fI have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and this is what I did: 21 when I saw among the spoil a beautiful cloak from Shinar, and 200 shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing 50 shekels, ^{▼▼A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams} then I coveted them and took them. And see, they are hidden in the earth inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”

22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and behold, it was hidden in his tent with the silver underneath. 23 And they took them out of the tent and brought them to Joshua and to all the people of Israel. And they laid them down before the Lord. 24 And Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver and the cloak and the bar of gold, and his sons and daughters and his oxen and donkeys and sheep and his tent and all that he had. And they brought them up to the ^hValley of Achor. 25 And Joshua said, “Why did you ⁱbring trouble on us? The Lord brings trouble on you today.” And all Israel ^jstoned him with stones. ^kThey burned them with fire and stoned them with stones.
