Joshua 7:17-23

¹⁷Then the clans of Judah presented themselves, and Yahweh indicated that someone from the clan of Zerah was the guilty one. Then the families of Zerah's clan presented themselves, and Yahweh indicated that someone from the family of Zabdi was the guilty one.

¹⁸Then Joshua told the men from that family to present themselves. And Yahweh indicated that Achan was guilty.

¹⁹Then Joshua said to Achan, “Son, tell the truth IDM. Confess to Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship, what you have done. And tell me what you did, and do not try to ◄conceal anything/prevent me from knowing what you did►.”

²⁰Achan replied, “It is true. I have sinned against Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis worship.

²¹Among the things in Jericho that I saw was a beautiful coat from Babylonia. I also saw 200 pieces of silver and some gold that weighed as much as 50 pieces of silver. I wanted those things very much for myself, so I took them. I buried them all in the ground under my tent. You will find them there. The silver is buried under the other things.”

²²So Joshua sent some men to find those things. They ran to Achan's tent and found all the things hidden there.

²³The men brought them all out of the tent and took them to Joshua and the rest of the Israeli people. Then they spread/laid them out on the ground, where Yahweh could see them.
