In our previous episode, God delivered the city of Jericho to the Israelites surprisingly and miraculously. With the shouts of His people, God had caused the walls of Jericho to collapse into rubble. The Israelites stormed the exposed city with God’s orders to destroy everything but the gold, silver, bronze, and iron, which were to be taken for the Lord’s treasury. They were warned not to keep plunder for themselves lest they bring trouble to the whole camp. Today we’ll learn of one man named Achan whose greed got the better of him and how his act of disobedience and deceit brings heartache to all around him. Joshua and his army will be left perplexed as they lose in battle, but the truth will come out, and the people will learn that God is not to be defied.
