And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.

Verse 15 is found in chapter 7 of Joshua. Joshua intercedes, asking why God allowed the defeat, and the divine response identifies the cause: Israel has sinned by taking objects devoted to destruction. The solution is not first a new military strategy, but restoration of covenant faithfulness. The procedure for identifying the guilty party eventually leads to Achan. The narrative emphasizes that Israel’s problem is not the supposed superiority of the enemy, but the breach of obedience required by God.

Und welcher gefunden wird im Bann, den soll man mit Feuer verbrennen mit allem, was er hat, darum daß er den Bund des HERRN übertreten und eine Torheit in Israel begangen hat.
Y el que fuere cogido en el anatema, será quemado a fuego, él y todo lo que tiene, por cuanto ha quebrantado el pacto de Jehová, y ha cometido maldad en Israel.
El que sea descubierto con lo consagrado a la destrucción será quemado con fuego, él y todo lo que le pertenece, porque ha quebrantado el pacto de Jehová y ha cometido una infamia en Israel”».
Celui qui sera désigné comme ayant pris de ce qui était dévoué par interdit sera brûlé au feu, lui et tout ce qui lui appartient, pour avoir transgressé l'alliance de l'Eternel et commis une infamie en Israël.
E colui che sarà colto nell’interdetto sarà arso col fuoco, egli, e tutto ciò che è suo; perciocchè egli ha trasgredito il patto del Signore, e ha commessa scelleratezza in Israele
E será que aquele que for tomado com o anátema será queimado a fogo, ele e tudo quanto tiver; porquanto transgrediu a aliança do SENHOR, e fez uma loucura em Israel.
被選的人有當滅之物在他那裏,他和他所有的必被火焚燒,因為他違背了耶和華的約,又因他在 以色列 中做了愚妄的事。」
