Joshua 7:19-21

Good News Translation

¹⁹ Joshua said to him, “My son, tell the truth here before the Lord, the God of Israel, and confess. Tell me now what you have done. Don't try to hide it from me.”

²⁰ “It's true,” Achan answered. “I have sinned against the Lord, Israel's God, and this is what I did. ²¹ Among the things we seized I saw a beautiful Babylonian cloak, about five pounds of silver, and a bar of gold weighing over one pound. I wanted them so much that I took them. You will find them buried inside my tent, with the silver at the bottom.”
