among the plunder I saw a fine cloak from Shinar, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels. I wanted them, and I took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”
In context
19Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to Yahweh, the God of Israel, and give him praise. Tell me now what you have done — do not hide it from me.” 20Achan answered Joshua, “It is true. I have sinned against Yahweh, the God of Israel. This is what I did: 21among the plunder I saw a fine cloak from Shinar, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels. I wanted them, and I took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath.” 22So Joshua sent messengers, who ran to the tent, and there it was, hidden in his tent, with the silver underneath. 23They took the things from the tent, brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites, and laid them out before Yahweh.
