Joshua 7:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 7:19

17 He brought the clan of Judah, and he took the family of the Zarhites; and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man, and Zabdi was taken.

18 Then he brought his household man by man, and Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, ^awas taken.

19 Now Joshua said to Achan, “My son, I beg you, ^agive glory to the Lord God of Israel, ^band make confession to Him, and ^ctell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.”

20 And Achan answered Joshua and said, “Indeed ^aI have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and this is what I have done:

21 When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonian garment, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I¹ coveted them and took them. And there they are, hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver under it.”

22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and there it was, hidden in his tent, with the silver under it.
