Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Joshua 7:1-5

TROUBLE IN THE LORD’S CAMPCRITICAL NOTES.—Joshua 7:1. Committed a trespass] Lit., “deceived a deceit” The meaning of the verb is to cover, as with a garment, thence to act deceitfully or treacherously. The sin of this single member of Israel is put as the transgression of the whole body. Achan] Called, in 1 Chronicles 2:7, Achar, the troubler of Israel. “Josephus also calls him” Ἄχαρος for the same reason; the Vat. Cod. of the LXX. reads “Ἄχαρ, the Alex. Ἀχάν” (Keil). Son of Zabdi] Zabdi, in 1... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Joshua 7:6-9

CRITICAL NOTES.—Joshua 7:6. Rent his clothes … put dust upon their heads] Both are ancient and common signs of mourning. They were practised among the Greeks and Romans, as well as among the Jews. With Joshua and the elders they were indicative of humiliation before God. MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Joshua 7:6-9DEFEATED AND PRAYINGDefeat is very painful when it comes to us as a first experience. The child, the business man, the soldier, each is troubled to bear his first humiliation of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Joshua 7:10-15

CRITICAL NOTES.—Joshua 7:11. Have also stolen and dissembled, etc.] To steal devoted things was solemnly sinful; every moment of hiding was a moment in which the guilt of theft was perpetuated and repeated in the conscience, in addition to which all Israel was being deceived and wronged; but the sin mentioned last, as though that were the greatest sin of all, was that of putting the devoted things “even among their own stuff,” and thus shewing a determination to appropriate to private uses what... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Joshua 7:16-23

CRITICAL NOTES.—Joshua 7:21. A goodly Babylonish garment] Lit. “A cloak of Shinar,” Shinar being the ancient name for the land of Babylon (Genesis 10:10). These garments have the reputation of having been highly wrought works of art. Pliny, Hist. Nat., lib. viii., c. 48, says of them, “Colores diverson picturæ vestium intexere Babylon maxime celebravit et nomen imposuit.” Josephus (Ant. v. 1. 10), says that the robe hidden by Achan was “a royal garment woven entirely of gold.” A wedge of gold]... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Joshua 7:24-26

CRITICAL NOTES.—Joshua 7:24. All that he had] In ordinary matters, touching the national welfare, the law provided that the children should not “be put to death for the fathers” (Deuteronomy 24:16), but this can hardly be used as an argument to prove that the family of Achan could not have been slain. (a) God might well reserve to Himself a right with which human discrimination and mercy were not to be trusted. (b) The awful solemnity with which the ban of devotement was regarded places it in... read more

DISCOURSE: 249ISRAEL DISCOMFITED BY THE MEN OF AI [Note: Fast-day Sermon for disappointments and defeats in war.] Joshua 7:8. O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!UNINTERRUPTED prosperity is not to be expected in this changeable and sinful world. Even the most favoured of mankind must have some trials; nor is there any season when they can presume to say, “My mountain standeth strong; I shall not be moved.” If at any time Joshua and Israel might adopt... read more

DISCOURSE: 250ACHAN’S GUILT AND PUNISHMENTJoshua 7:19-20. And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the Lord God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me. And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done.THE rise, and progress, and termination of sin, afford as interesting a subject, as any that can be presented to our view. It is exhibited to us... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Joshua 7:11

Israel The sin of Achan and its results teach the great truth of the oneness of the people of God, Joshua 7:11. "Israel hath sinned." See in illustration ; 1 Corinthians 5:1-7; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14; 1 Corinthians 12:26. The whole cause of Christ is injured by the sin, neglect, or unspirituality of one believer. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Joshua 7:1-26

Chapter 7Now in chapter seven we read that,The children of Israel committed a trespass against the Lord in the [holy thing, or in the] accursed thing: [rather] for Achan took of the accursed thing: [That is he took some of the spoil that they said was to go only to God, and he took it for himself.] and God's anger was kindled against the children of Israel ( Joshua 7:1 ).So Moses sent some men up to look over Bethel and Ai. Now Jordan is down in the plains. Jericho is down in the plains of... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Joshua 7:1-26

Joshua 7:1 . The children of Israel committed a trespass; that is, Achan and his children, who concealed their father’s sin, by hiding the accursed plunder in their tent. The sin of one man is here attributed to all the people of Israel; as the sin of one member vitiates and shames the whole body. Joshua 7:2 . From Jericho to Ai; called Hai, Genesis 12:8; and Aija, Nehemiah 11:31. This town lay nine miles west of Jericho on a hill, and fell to the lot of Benjamin. There was another... read more
