And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.

Verse 19 is found in chapter 7 of Joshua. Achan confesses that he took a robe, silver, and gold after seeing and coveting them. The sequence "I saw... I coveted... I took" exposes the internal process that leads to transgression. The objects are found hidden in his tent, and judgment reaches Achan and the elements associated with his offense. The episode explains Ai’s defeat theologically and shows that the prosperity of conquest cannot become individual appropriation of what God had reserved.

Und Josua sprach zu Achan: Mein Sohn, gib dem HERRN, dem Gott Israels, die Ehre und gib ihm das Lob und sage mir an: Was hast du getan? und leugne mir nichts.
Entonces Josué dijo a Achân: Hijo mío, da gloria ahora a Jehová el Dios de Israel, y dale alabanza, y declárame ahora lo que has hecho; no me lo encubras.
Josué dit à Acan: Mon fils, donne gloire à l'Eternel, le Dieu d'Israël, et rends-lui hommage. Dis-moi donc ce que tu as fait, ne me le cache point.
E Giosuè disse ad Acan: Deh! figliuol mio, da’ gloria al Signore Iddio d’Israele, e fagli confessione, e dichiarami ora ciò che tu hai fatto; non celarmelo.
Então disse Josué a Acã: Filho meu, dá, peço-te, glória ao SENHOR Deus de Israel, e faze confissão perante ele; e declara-me agora o que fizeste, não mo ocultes.
