After the fall of Jericho, the Israelites were instructed to take riches for God, but Achan, seeing a beautiful garment and silver and gold, took some for himself and buried it beneath the family tent. When the Israelites were about to take Ai, Joshua sent scouts ahead and they returned telling him that it would take less men than they thought to take Ai, so Joshua sent only 3000 men to defeat Ai. Ai however met them and there was much bloodshed for the Israelites. When Joshua heard of this he asked God, why God were we defeated when You said that You would be with us? God replied that Israel had sinned against Him and that Joshua was to gather the people the next day and that God would tell him who sinned. The next day, God, by telling them that the offender was from the tribe Achan was from, but Achan did not think they would think it was him because there were hundreds in his tribe. Then God named the family that was to blame and then the person, Achan, from that family. Achan confessed to Joshua what he had taken and where he had hidden it. Joshua told the people that Achan had sinned against God and had to be punished. Achan was then killed and all his possessions burned.
