Joshua 7:20-22

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁰Achan answered, “It is true! I sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel. This is what I did: ²¹In Jericho, I saw a beautiful coat from Babylonia,^[a] about 5 pounds^[b] of silver, and about a pound^[c] of gold. I wanted these things for myself, so I took them. You will find them buried in the ground under my tent. The silver is under the coat.”

²²So Joshua sent some men to the tent. They ran to the tent and found the things hidden there. The silver was under the coat.
