Joshua 7:18

Context
7:18 He then made Zabdi’s⁵ family approach man by man⁶ and Achan son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, was selected.

¹tn Heb “But the sons of Israel were unfaithful with unfaithfulness concerning what was set apart [to the Lord].”

²tn 1 Chr 2:6 lists a “Zimri” (but no Zabdi) as one of the five sons of Zerah (cf. also 1 Chr 7:17, 18).

³tn Heb “took from what was set apart [to the Lord].”

⁴tn Heb “the anger of the Lord burned against the sons of Israel.”

sn This incident illustrates well the principle of corporate solidarity and corporate guilt. The sin of one man brought the Lord’s anger down upon the entire nation.

⁵tn Heb “his”; the referent (Zabdi) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁶tn Heb “by men.”
