Achan told Joshua, &#8220;It is true. I have sinned against the <sc>Lordsc> God of Israel in this way:<n id="1" />

&#8220;Moses my servant is dead. Get ready!<n id="1" /> Cross the Jordan River!<n id="2" /> Lead these people into the land which I am ready to hand over to them.<n id="3" />

<p class="bodytext">The <sc>Lordsc> told Joshua, &#8220;Don&#8217;t be afraid of them, for about this time tomorrow I will cause all of them to lie dead before Israel. You must hamstring their horses and burn<n id="1" /> their chariots.&#8221;

I will drive out before the Israelites all who live in the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim,<n id="1" /> all the Sidonians; you be sure to parcel it out to Israel as I instructed you.&#8221;<n id="2" />

I was forty years old when Moses, the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s servant, sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy on the land and I brought back to him an honest report.<n id="1" />

So now, look, the <sc>Lordsc> has preserved my life, just as he promised, these past forty-five years since the <sc>Lordsc> spoke these words to Moses, during which Israel traveled through the wilderness. Now look, I am today eighty-five years old.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Look, today I am about to die.<n id="1" /> You know with all your heart and being<n id="2" /> that not even one of all the faithful promises the <sc>Lordsc> your God made to you is left unfulfilled; every one was realized &#8211; not one promise is unfulfilled!<n id="3" />
