Commentary on Joshua 7:15

Theological / Devotional

All that he hath. Including the children (vs. 24, 25). Yet in Deut. 24:16 the Lord had declared that children should not be put to death for their father’s sins, but each man for his own. Perhaps Achan’s family had been party to the act (see on v. 1), and shared with him the evil secret. Men are responsible not only for the sins they themselves commit, but also for sheltering an evildoer, by withholding information that might assist those responsible for administering justice.
