Context

The Sin of Achan

²¹When I saw among the spoils a beautiful cloak from Shinar, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”²²So Joshua sent messengers who ran to the tent, and there it all was, hidden in his tent, with the silver underneath.²³They took the things from inside the tent, brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites, and spread them out before the LORD.

Summary

In this verse, Achan confesses to Joshua that he had sinned against the Lord by taking forbidden items from Jericho, which resulted in the Israelites being defeated in battle. Achan's admission of guilt highlights the importance of obedience and the consequences of disobedience to God's commands. This event serves as a sobering reminder of the impact of individual sin on the community and the need for repentance and accountability. Joshua's response to Achan's confession demonstrates the seriousness of sin and the necessity of dealing with it promptly to restore God's favor and blessings.

Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch Old Testament Commentary

Joshua sent two messengers directly to Achan's tent to fetch the things, and when they were brought he had them laid down before Jehovah, i.e., before the tabernacle, where the whole affair had taken place. הצּיק, here and in Sa2 15:24, signifies to lay down (synonymous with הצּיג), whilst the Hiphil form is used for pouring out.
