Joshua 7:11-12
7:11 Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenantal commandment!
They have taken some of the riches;
they have stolen them and deceitfully put them among their own possessions.
7:12 The Israelites are unable to stand before their enemies; they retreat because they have become subject to annihilation.
I will no longer be with you,
unless you destroy what has contaminated you.
Joshua 22:18-20
22:18 Now today you dare to turn back
from following the
Lord! You are rebelling today against the
Lord; tomorrow he may break out in anger against
the entire community of Israel.
22:19 But if your own land
is impure,
cross over to the
Lord’s own land,
where the
Lord himself lives,
and settle down among us.
But don’t rebel against the
Lord or us
by building for yourselves an altar aside from the altar of the
Lord our God.
22:20 When Achan son of Zerah disobeyed the command about the city’s riches, the entire Israelite community was judged,
though only one man had sinned. He most certainly died for his sin!’”
