And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD.

Verse 23 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 sie nahmen's aus der Hütte und brachten's zu Josua und zu allen Kindern Israel und schütteten es vor den HERRN.
Y tomándolo de en medio de la tienda, trajéronlo a Josué y a todos los hijos de Israel, y pusiéronlo delante de Jehová.
Ils les prirent du milieu de la tente, les apportèrent à Josué et à tous les enfants d'Israël, et les déposèrent devant l'Eternel.
Essi adunque presero quelle cose di mezzo del padiglione, e le portarono a Giosuè, e a tutti i figliuoli d’Israele, e le gettarono davanti al Signore.
Tomaram, pois, aquelas coisas do meio da tenda, e as trouxeram a Josué e a todos os filhos de Israel; e as puseram perante o SENHOR.
他們從帳棚裏把這些東西取出來,拿到 約書亞 和 以色列 眾人 那裏,倒在耶和華面前。
