5 And the men of Aʹi got to strike down about thirty-six men of them, and they went pursuing+ them from before the gate as far as Shebʹa·rim* and continued striking them down on the descent. Consequently the heart of the people began to melt and became as water.+

24 Joshua, and all Israel with him, now took Aʹchan+ the son of Zeʹrah and the silver and the official garment and the bar of gold+ and his sons and his daughters and his bull and his ass and his flock and his tent and everything that was his and they brought them up to the low plain of Aʹchor.+

25 Then Joshua said: “Why have you brought ostracism upon us?+ Jehovah will bring ostracism upon you on this day.” With that all Israel went pelting him with stones,+ after which they burned them with fire.+ Thus they stoned them with stones.
