Joshua 7:19-21
7:19 So Joshua said to Achan, “My son, honor 1 the Lord God of Israel and give him praise! Tell me what you did; don’t hide anything from me!”
7:20 Achan told Joshua, “It is true. I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel in this way: 2
7:21 I saw among the goods we seized a nice robe from Babylon, 3 two hundred silver pieces, 4 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.”
