So Joshua rose up early, and brought Israel by their tribes—that is, before the tabernacle. The lot being appealed to (Proverbs 16:33), he proceeded in the inquiry from heads of tribes to heads of families, and from heads of households in succession to one family, and to particular persons in that family, until the criminal was found to be Achan, who, on Joshua's admonition, confessed the fact of having secreted for his own use, in the floor of his tent, spoil both in garments and money [Joshua 7:19-21]. How dreadful must have been his feelings when he saw the slow but certain process of discovery! (Numbers 32:23).
