This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Jos_22:20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.

Ver. 20. Did not Achan, &c.] This is the true use of history, - to be warned by it: God therefore hangeth some malefactors up in gibbets as it were: Cavebis autem, si pavebis.



And wrath fell on all.] For that one: how much more for you many. One sinner destroyeth oft much good. {Ecc_9:18} Achan perished not alone, but his whole family with him; besides those thirty slain by the men of Ai.
