Joshua 7:24-26
1599 Geneva Bible
24 Then Joshua took Achan the [a]son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the [b]wedge of gold, and his [c]sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and all Israel with him, brought them unto the valley of Achor.
25 And Joshua said, [d]In as much as thou hast troubled us, the Lord shall trouble thee this day: and all Israel threw stones at him, and burned them with fire, and stoned them with stones.
26 And they cast upon him a great heap of stones unto this day: and so the Lord turned from his fierce wrath: therefore he called the name of that place, The valley of Achor, unto this day.
