Joshua 7:11

Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put [it] even among their own stuff.

Ver. 11. Israel hath sinned.] See Joshua 7:1 .

For they have even taken of the accursed thing, &c.] God aggravateth Achan's sin by the several circumstances, laying open how many transgressions were wrapped up in that sin of his, as Leviticus 16:21. This Achan himself should have done, and so prevented the Lord; 1Co 11:31 which because he did not, God did it for him: as because the scholar will not parse his lesson, scan his verses, the master will do it for him to his cost.
