Joshua 7:19-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, ·tell the truth. Confess to the Lord, the God of Israel [^LGive glory to the Lord God of Israel and give praise to him; ^Ca solemn charge to tell the truth and confess his sins to God]. Tell me what you did, and don’t try to hide anything from me.”

²⁰ Achan answered, “It is true! I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel. This is what I did: ²¹ Among the things I saw was a beautiful ·coat [robe; cloak] from ·Babylonia [^LShinar] and about ·five pounds [^Ltwo hundred shekels] of silver and ·more than one and one-fourth pounds of gold [^La gold bar weighing fifty shekels]. I wanted these things very much for myself, so I took them. You will find them buried in the ground under my tent, with the silver underneath.”
