1 | Why this mass execution ? | Josh 7:24 | Constantin | 63932 | ||
It is hard to understand why this mass execution had to take place. Even the animals had to go. Why not Achan alone? In Hesekiel it is explicitly stated, that a man woudn't die for his father's sins. Does anyone have an explanation ? | ||||||
2 | Why this mass execution ? | Josh 7:24 | glory777 | 63933 | ||
It does seem harsh, but the Lrod can not look on sin and in order to go before the people of Israel, the had to follow Him. The rules were stated and Achan knew them. The people of Israel knew them and had to show the Lord that they wanted to obey Him. Anything left over of Achan's property would have been booty for the rest of Israel, anything of the property that was taken was cursed. Should someone else benefit from someone's sin? Achan's disobedience and subsequent punishment, stopped sin against the Lord from being passed down through his family, and because it was punished by all of the people of Israel, it was affirmation by those who did the execution that they would follow the Lord. Also, by comveting the things of Jericho, he was in essence, identifying himself with the things of Jericho. He doomed himself and all that he had to the same fate as the inhabitants of that city. These are my own thoughts on the matter. Any others? Debbie |
