20
And Achan answered Joshua, "It is true; I am the one who sinned against the Lord God of Israel. This is what I did:
21
when I saw among the spoil a beautiful mantle from Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, then I coveted them and took them. They now lie hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath."
22
So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and there it was, hidden in his tent with the silver underneath.
23
They took them out of the tent and brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites; and they spread them out before the Lord.
24
Then Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan son of Zerah, with the silver, the mantle, and the bar of gold, with his sons and daughters, with his oxen, donkeys, and sheep, and his tent and all that he had; and they brought them up to the Valley of Achor.
