Joshua

Joshua 7:19–21

19So Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and make a confession to Him. I urge you to tell me what you have done; do not hide it from me.”

20“It is true,” Achan replied, “I have sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel. This is what I did: 21When I saw among the spoils a beautiful cloak from Shinar,e two hundred shekels of silver,f and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels,g I coveted them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”
