Joshua 22:20-22

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁰ “‘Remember how Achan son of Zerah refused to obey the command about things that must be destroyed. That one man broke God’s law, but all the Israelites were punished. Achan died because of his sin, but also many other people died.’”

²¹ The people from the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh answered the eleven men. They said, ²² “The Lord is our God!^[a] Again we say that the Lord is our God! And God knows why we did this thing. We want you to know also. You can judge what we did. If you think we did it because we are against the Lord or refuse to obey him, you can kill us today.
