15. The one caught with the devoted things will be burned with fire, he and all that belongs to him, because he transgressed the covenant of Yahweh, and because he did a disgraceful thing in Israel.” ’ ”
16. So Joshua rose early in the morning and brought forward Israel, tribe by tribe, and the tribe of Judah was selected by lot.
17. And he brought forward the clans of Judah and selected the clan of the Zerahites by lot. Then he brought forward the clan of the Zerahites, one by one, and Zabdi was selected by lot.
18. He brought forward his family, one by one, and Achan son of Carmi son of Zabdi son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was selected by lot.
19. And Joshua said to Achan, “My son, please, give glory to Yahweh the God of Israel, and give him a doxology in court. Tell me, please, what you have done; do not hide it from me.”
20. And Achan answered Joshua and said, “It is true. I have sinned against Yahweh the God of Israel, and this is what I did:
21. I saw among the spoil a beautiful robe from Shinar, two hundred shekels of silver, and one bar of gold that weighed fifty shekels; I coveted them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, and the silver is under it.”
22. Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and there they were, hidden in his tent, and the silver was under it.
23. And they took them from the tent and brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites. And they spread them out before the presence of Yahweh.
