Joshua 7 — Context

20

Achan told Joshua,“It is true. I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel in this way:

21

I saw among the goods we seized a nice robe from Babylon, two hundred silver pieces, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels. I wanted them, so I took them. They are hidden in the ground right in the middle of my tent with the silver underneath.”

22

Joshua sent messengers who ran to the tent. The things were hidden right in his tent, with the silver underneath.

23

They took it all from the middle of the tent, brought it to Joshua and all the Israelites, and placed it before the LORD.

24

Then Joshua and all Israel took Achan, son of Zerah, along with the silver, the robe, the bar of gold, his sons, daughters, ox, donkey, sheep, tent, and all that belonged to him and brought them up to the Valley of Disaster.

25

Joshua said,“Why have you brought disaster on us? The LORD will bring disaster on you today!” All Israel stoned him to death.(They also stoned and burned the others.)

26

Then they erected over him a large pile of stones(it remains to this very day) and the LORD’s anger subsided. So that place is called the Valley of Disaster to this very day.
