19 So Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to the Lord, the God of Israel,(A) and make a confession to Him.[a] I urge you, tell me what you have done. Don’t hide anything from me.”

20 Achan replied to Joshua, “It is true. I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel. This is what I did: 21 When I saw among the spoils a beautiful cloak from Babylon,[b] 200 silver shekels,[c] and a bar of gold weighing 50 shekels,[d] I coveted them and took them.(B) You can see for yourself. They are concealed in the ground inside my tent, with the money under the cloak.”
