Joshua 7:15

Burnt with fire, as persons and things accursed were to be. See Numbers 15:30,35 Deu 13:16. All that he hath; his children and goods, as is noted, Joshua 7:24, according to the law, Deuteronomy 13:6. He hath wrought folly; so sin is oft called in Scripture, as Genesis 34:7 Judges 20:6, &c., in opposition to the idle opinion of sinners, who commonly esteem it to be their wisdom and interest. In Israel, i.e. among the church and people of God, who had such excellent laws to direct them, and such an all-sufficient and gracious God to provide for them, without any such indirect and unworthy practices.
