Did not Achan the son of Zerah
One that descended from Zerah the son of Judah, ( Joshua 7:18 ) ;
commit a trespass in the accursed thing;
in taking what was devoted to sacred uses:
and wrath fell on all the congregation of
Israel?
and which was what was feared now; and this instance is brought
to show that such fears were not groundless:
and that man perished not alone in his
iniquity:
which seems to confirm the notion of those who think that his
children suffered with him; though it may be observed, that it
was through his sin that thirty six men were slain by the men of
Ai, ( Joshua
7:5 ) .
