JOSHUA 7
ISRAEL IS DEFEATED + DEVOTED ITEMS ARE STOLEN
Despite Israel’s recent victory, they are defeated by a nearby Canaanite city called Ai. Thirty-six Israelites are killed and Joshua mourns their deaths, questioning why God would bring them this far only to be defeated.
God tells Joshua that the Israelites have been sinful, specifically a man named Achan, who stole items that were devoted to God. Achan initially attempts to hide the stolen items, but confesses when confronted by Joshua. Because Achan brought trouble upon the Israelites, he is stoned for stealing the sacred items.
STUDY QUESTIONS 7
After the Israelites entered the land of Canaan, they were defeated by the people of Ai. How would you summarize Joshua’s prayer in 7:7–9?
Read the story of Achan in Joshua 7:10–26. Using a Study Bible or an internet search, look up the meaning of Achan’s name and the meaning of “Valley of Achor.” What do these names reveal?
