Joshua 7:21-23

Easy-to-Read Version

²¹In Jericho, I saw a beautiful coat from Babylonia,^[a] about 5 pounds^[b] of silver, and about a pound^[c] of gold. I wanted these things for myself, so I took them. You will find them buried in the ground under my tent. The silver is under the coat.”

²²So Joshua sent some men to the tent. They ran to the tent and found the things hidden there. The silver was under the coat. ²³The men brought the things out of the tent and took them to Joshua and all the Israelites. They threw them on the ground before the Lord.
