Joshua 7:17-23

¹⁷The tribe of Judah was chosen. The clans of Judah came forward and the Zerahites were chosen. The clan of Zerahites came forward, and the family of Zabdi was chosen.

¹⁸The family of Zabdi came forward, and Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was chosen.

¹⁹Joshua said to Achan, “My son, honor the Lord, the God of Israel, and confess. Tell me what you have done. Don't hide it from me.”

²⁰“It's true!” Achan replied. “I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel. This is what I did.

²¹Among the plunder I saw a beautiful cloak from Babylonia, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels. I really wanted them, so I took them. They're hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver buried deeper.”

²²Joshua sent men who ran over to search the tent. They found what had been hidden, with the silver buried deeper.

²³The men took the things from the tent and brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites. There they spread them out before the Lord.
