Joshua 7:15
"In the morning therefore you shall be brought near by your tribes. It shall be that the tribe which the LORD selects shall come near by families. The family which the LORD selects shall come near by households. The household which the LORD selects shall come near man by man."
Key Reflection
In the morning, the Israelites were instructed to gather by their tribes, then further divided into families, households, and finally individuals, demonstrating a meticulous approach to ensure every participant was accounted for in the process of identifying those affected by the sin of Achan. This methodical selection underscored divine oversight and accountability, emphasizing that even in a large community like Israel, no one could escape the scrutiny of God.
