Joshua 7:20-25

English Standard Version

²⁰ And Achan answered Joshua, “Truly ^(A)I 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] 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 ^(B)Valley of Achor. ²⁵ And Joshua said, “Why did you ^(C)bring trouble on us? The Lord brings trouble on you today.” And all Israel ^(D)stoned him with stones. ^(E)They burned them with fire and stoned them with stones.
