Joshua 7:26

Verse 26 of 26. The 7th of 24 chapters in Joshua, in History.

22So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent. Behold, it was hidden in his tent, with the silver under it.

23They took them from the middle of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel. They laid them down before the LORD.

24Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his cattle, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them up to the valley of Achor.

25Joshua said, “Why have you troubled us? The LORD will trouble you today.” All Israel stoned him with stones, and they burned them with fire and stoned them with stones.

26They raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day. The LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called “The valley of Achor” to this day.
