Joshua 7:16-23

Joshua 7:16-23 TPT

Joshua was up at the crack of dawn and had Israel come forward by tribes, and YAHWEH indicated the tribe of Judah. Joshua then had the clans of Judah come forward, and YAHWEH picked out the clan of Zerah. Joshua then had the clan of Zerah come forward and YAHWEH indicated the family of Zimri. Joshua then had Zimri’s family come forward one by one, and YAHWEH picked out Achan, the son of Carmi, son of Zimri, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah. Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to YAHWEH, the God of Israel, and confess. Tell me the truth and do not hide anything from him. What have you done?” “It’s true,” Achan said. “I’ve sinned against YAHWEH, the God of Israel. This is what I did: I saw among the plunder an exquisite robe from Babylon, two hundred pieces of silver, and a fifty-shekel bar of gold. I wanted them badly, so I took them and buried them in my tent with the silver underneath.” Joshua sent messengers who ran to the tent, and there it was! They found it buried in the middle of the tent with the silver underneath. They took the stolen objects from the tent, brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites, and displayed them in the presence of YAHWEH.
