<p class="bodytext">Joshua sent messengers who ran to the tent. The things were hidden right in his tent, with the silver underneath.<n id="1" />

<p class="bodytext">Joshua rewarded<n id="1" /> them and sent them on their way; they returned to their homes.<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">So when the people left their tents to cross the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant went<n id="1" /> ahead of them.

They took it all from the middle of the tent, brought it to Joshua and all the Israelites, and placed<n id="1" /> it before the <sc>Lordsc>.

<t /><p class="bodytext">The entire Israelite community assembled at Shiloh and there they set up the tent of meeting.<n id="1" /> Though they had subdued the land,<n id="2" />

I saw among the goods we seized a nice robe from Babylon,<n id="1" /> two hundred silver pieces,<n id="2" /> and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels. I wanted them, so I took them. They are hidden in the ground right in the middle of my tent with the silver underneath.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">These are the land assignments which Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the Israelite tribal leaders<n id="1" /> made by drawing lots in Shiloh before the <sc>Lordsc> at the entrance of the tent of meeting.<n id="2" /> So they finished dividing up the land.p>

Now the <sc>Lordsc> your God has made your fellow Israelites secure,<n id="1" /> just as he promised them. So now you may turn around and go to your homes<n id="2" /> in your own land<n id="3" /> which Moses the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s servant assigned to you east of the Jordan.

(Now to one half-tribe of Manasseh, Moses had assigned land in Bashan; and to the other half Joshua had assigned land on the west side of the Jordan with their fellow Israelites.) When Joshua sent them home,<n id="1" /> he rewarded<n id="2" /> them,

saying, &#8220;Take home<n id="1" /> great wealth, a lot of cattle,<n id="2" /> silver, gold, bronze, iron, and a lot of<n id="3" /> clothing. Divide up the goods captured from your enemies with your brothers.&#8221;

Then Joshua and all Israel took Achan, son of Zerah, along with the silver, the robe, the bar of gold, his sons, daughters, ox, donkey, sheep, tent, and all that belonged to him and brought them up to the Valley of Disaster.<n id="1" />
