Bible. Joshua
06:007:014 In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your
tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh
shall come according to the families thereof; and the family
which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the
household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.
06:007:015 And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing
shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he
hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he
hath wrought folly in Israel.
06:007:016 So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by
their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:
06:007:017 And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of
the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by
man; and Zabdi was taken:
06:007:018 And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of
Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of
Judah, was taken.
06:007:019 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory
to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and
tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.
06:007:020 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned
against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
06:007:021 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.
06:007:022 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and,
behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
06:007:023 And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought
them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and
laid them out before the LORD.
06:007:024 And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of
Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold,
and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses,
and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they
brought them unto the valley of Achor.
06:007:025 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall
trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones,
and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with
stones.
06:007:026 And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day.
So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore
the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto
this day.
