Achan's Sin
Joshua 7
Because Achar secretly takes some of the devoted spoil from Jericho, Israel is defeated and driven back at Gai, and Joshua mourns before the Lord until he is told that the sin must be found and removed. Achar is identified by lot, confesses to taking a mantle, silver, and gold, and he and his household are stoned and burned at the valley afterward called Achor.
