Joshua 7:1

Achan Sins and is Punished

7:1 But the Israelites disobeyed the command about the city’s riches.¹ Achan son of Carmi, son of Zabdi,² son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, stole some of the riches.³ The Lord was furious with the Israelites.⁴

Joshua 7:17

Context
7:17 He then made the clans of Judah approach and the clan of the Zerahites was selected. He made the clan of the Zerahites approach and Zabdi⁵ was selected.⁶

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 See the note on “Zabdi” in 1 Chr 7:1.

⁶tn Heb “and he selected Zabdi.” The Lord is the apparent subject. The LXX supports reading a passive (Niphal) form here, as does the immediate context.
