Joshua 7:23 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 7:23

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.

23 And they took them from the midst of the tent, brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the Lord.

24 Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the garment, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and ^aall that he had, and they brought them to ^bthe Valley of Achor.

25 And Joshua said, ^a“Why have you troubled us? The Lord will trouble you this day.” ^bSo all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones.

26 Then they ^araised over him a great heap of stones, still there to this day. So ^bthe Lord turned from the fierceness of His anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called ^cthe Valley of Achor to this day.
