Joshua 7:20-22
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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,[a] 200 silver shekels,[b] and a bar of gold weighing 50 shekels,[c] I coveted them and took them.(A) You can see for yourself. They are concealed in the ground inside my tent, with the money under the cloak.” 22 So Joshua sent messengers who ran to the tent, and there was the cloak, concealed in his tent, with the money underneath.
