Joshua 22:20-22

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁰ Remember the time when Achan, son of Zerah, took things that belonged to God for himself. He refused to obey God's command about Jericho's valuable things. Then God became angry with all the people of Israel. Achan died because of his sin, but he was not the only one.’^[a]

²¹ Reuben, Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered the Israelite leaders. ²² They said, ‘God, the Lord, is the great God! God, the Lord knows what is true! So all Israel must also know! Punish us today if we have turned against the Lord. We have not refused to obey him.
