I'm the one who sinned against the LORD God of Israel. ²¹ I noticed among the war spoils a beautiful mantle from Shinar, 200 shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing 50 shekels. Because I wanted them, I took them, and they're buried in the ground inside my tent. The silver is underneath." ²² So Joshua sent some messengers, who ran to the tent. And there it was, hidden in the tent with the silver underneath.
