Josué 7:15 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 7:15

And it shall be, [that] he that is taken with the accursed
thing shall be burnt with fire
He that is taken by lot, and the accursed thing found with him, this should be the death, burning, one of the four capital punishments with the Jews: this was ordered in this case, because the city of Jericho, accursed or devoted, was burnt with fire, ( Joshua 6:24 ) ;

he and all that he hath;
the particulars of which are enumerated, ( Joshua 7:24 ) ;

because he hath transgressed the covenant of the Lord;
(See Gill on Joshua 7:11);

and because he hath wrought folly in Israel;
as all sin and every transgression of the law is, and was the cause of Israel's turning their backs on their enemies; which, as Abarbinel says, was folly, and made the people of Israel look foolish, mean, and contemptible: the word has also the signification of a dead carcass, and may possibly have respect, to the thirty six men whose death he was the occasion of, ( Joshua 7:5 ) , and therefore justly ought to die himself.

Josué 7:15 In-Context

13 Levanta-te santifica o povo, e dize-lhe: Santificai-vos para amanhã, pois assim diz o Senhor, o Deus de Israel: Anátema há no meio de ti, Israel; não poderás suster-te diante dos teus inimigos, enquanto não tirares do meio de ti o anátema.

14 Amanhã, pois, vos chegareis, segundo as vossas tribos; a tribo que o Senhor tomar se chegará por famílias; a família que o Senhor tomar se chegará por casas; e a casa que o Senhor tomar se chegará homem por homem.

15 E aquele que for tomado com o anátema, será queimado no fogo, ele e tudo quanto tiver, porquanto transgrediu o pacto do Senhor, e fez uma loucura em Israel.

16 Então Josué se levantou de madrugada, e fez chegar Israel segundo as suas tribos, e foi tomada por sorte a tribo de Judá;

17 fez chegar a tribo de Judá, e foi tomada a família dos zeraítas; fez chegar a familia dos zeraítas, homem por homem, e foi tomado Zabdi;
