Joshua 7:20-22
New American Standard Bible
20 So Achan answered Joshua and said, “Truly, I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel, and [a]this is what I did: 21 when I saw among the spoils a beautiful robe from Shinar, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold fifty shekels in weight, then I (A)wanted them and took them; and behold, they are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”
22 So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and behold, it was hidden in his tent with the silver underneath it.

They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”
