Joshua 7:21-23
New English Translation

21 I saw among the goods we seized a nice robe from Babylon,[a] 200 silver pieces,[b] and a bar of gold weighing 50 shekels. I wanted them, so I took them. They are hidden in the ground right in the middle of my tent, with the silver underneath.”

22 Joshua sent messengers who ran to the tent. The things were hidden right in his tent, with the silver underneath.[c] 23 They took it all from the middle of the tent, brought it to Joshua and all the Israelites, and placed[d] it before the Lord.
