Joshua 7:25-26
New English Translation
25 Joshua said, “Why have you brought disaster on[a] us? The Lord will bring disaster on you today!” All Israel stoned him to death. (They also stoned and burned the others.)[b] 26 Then they erected over him a large pile of stones (it remains to this very day[c]) and the Lord’s anger subsided. So that place is called the Valley of Disaster to this very day.
