Joshua 7:20-22
New English Translation

20 Achan told Joshua, “It is true. I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel in this way:[a] 21 I saw among the goods we seized a nice robe from Babylon,[b] 200 silver pieces,[c] and a bar of gold weighing 50 shekels. I wanted them, so I took them. They are hidden in the ground right in the middle of my tent, with the silver underneath.”

22 Joshua sent messengers who ran to the tent. The things were hidden right in his tent, with the silver underneath.[d]
