Joshua 7:15-22 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

15. And it shall be that he that is taken in the anathema shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he has because he has broken the covenant of the Lord and because he has wrought folly in Israel.

16. So Joshua rose up early in the morning and brought Israel by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken;

17. and bringing near the tribe of Judah, the family of the Zarhites was taken; and bringing near the family of the Zarhites man by man, Zabdi was taken;

18. and he caused his household to come near, man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

19. Then Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory now to the Lord God of Israel and give him praise; and tell me now what thou hast done; do not hide it from me.

20. And Achan answered Joshua and said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done.

21. When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment and two hundred shekels of silver and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.

22. So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent and the silver under it.
