"But the sons of Israel acted unfaithfully and violated their obligation
in regards to the things off limits under the ban, those things belong to the
Lord, for Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah,
from the tribe of Judah, took some of the things under the ban for
personal gain. Therefore the anger of the Lord burned against the Israelites."

"Disobedience after the victory at Jericho led to Israel losing her second
battle in the conquering of Canaan. In spite of failure and disappointment,
Joshua showed leadership by specifically following God's instructions for
learning from the past mistake and then focusing on the future He had for them."
