25 qBut Rahab the prostitute and her father’s household and all who belonged to her, Joshua saved alive. And she has lived in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
11 Israel has sinned; they have ztransgressed my covenant that I commanded them; they have ataken some of the devoted things; they have stolen and blied and put them among their own belongings. 12 Therefore the people of Israel ccannot stand before their enemies. They turn their backs before their enemies, because they have become devoted for destruction.1 I will be with you no more, unless you destroy the devoted things from among you.
15 And he who is taken with the devoted things shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of the Lord, and because he has done an foutrageous thing in Israel.’”
24 And Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver and the cloak and the bar of gold, and his sons and daughters and his oxen and donkeys and sheep and his tent and all that he had. And they brought them up to the Valley of Achor. 25 And Joshua said, “Why did you bring ltrouble on us? The Lord brings trouble on you today.” And all Israel mstoned him with stones. They burned them with fire and stoned them with stones. 26 And they nraised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day. Then the Lord oturned from his burning anger. Therefore, to this day the name of that place is called the Valley of Achor.1
