Bilangan 32:23

32:23 “But if you do not do this, then look, you will have sinned ¹  against the Lord. And know that your sin will find you out.

Yosua 7:10-18

7:10 The Lord responded ²  to Joshua, “Get up! Why are you lying there face down? ³  7:11 Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenantal commandment! ⁴  They have taken some of the riches; ⁵  they have stolen them and deceitfully put them among their own possessions. ⁶  7:12 The Israelites are unable to stand before their enemies; they retreat because they have become subject to annihilation. ⁷  I will no longer be with you, ⁸  unless you destroy what has contaminated you. ⁹  7:13 Get up! Ritually consecrate the people and tell them this: ‘Ritually consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, because the Lord God of Israel says, “You are contaminated, ¹⁰  O Israel! You will not be able to stand before your enemies until you remove what is contaminating you.” ¹¹  7:14 In the morning you must approach in tribal order. ¹²  The tribe the Lord selects ¹³  must approach by clans. The clan the Lord selects must approach by families. ¹⁴  The family the Lord selects must approach man by man. ¹⁵  7:15 The one caught with the riches ¹⁶  must be burned up ¹⁷  along with all who belong to him, because he violated the Lord’s covenant and did such a disgraceful thing in Israel.’”

7:16 Bright and early the next morning Joshua made Israel approach in tribal order ¹⁸  and the tribe of Judah was selected. 7:17 He then made the clans of Judah approach and the clan of the Zerahites was selected. He made the clan of the Zerahites approach and Zabdi ¹⁹  was selected. ²⁰  7:18 He then made Zabdi’s ²¹  family approach man by man ²²  and Achan son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, was selected.

7:1 But the Israelites disobeyed the command about the city’s riches. ²³  Achan son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, ²⁴  son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, stole some of the riches. ²⁵  The Lord was furious with the Israelites. ²⁶ 

1 Samuel 14:42
