TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

Community Responsibility: Achan’s Sin

Should an entire community be held responsible for the sins of a smaller few?

Why did so many of Israel’s soldiers die at Ai because of Achan’s sin (Josh 7)? Why did the Israelites stone Achan’s family along with him? A significant part of the answer to these questions comes by understanding the concept of community responsibility.

If Achan’s family knew of his theft, they were accomplices and shared Achan’s guilt. A community becomes responsible for sin when people either actively participate in an act of sin or silently condone sinful actions or attitudes.

But what about Achan’s children who were too young to understand or those who had no knowledge of his theft? What about Israel’s soldiers who died at Ai because Achan stole what belonged to God?

To understand, we have to go back to the beginning. The sin of our first parents, Adam and Eve (Gen 3), was at least twofold. First, they chose not to trust God, even though they had an intimate relationship with him, choosing instead to listen to the voice of a stranger. Second, though they were unsuccessful, they declared their independence from God by trying to become like gods themselves.

Because we all make that same choice for ourselves, no one is truly innocent (see Ps 14:2-3; Rom 3:9-23). As a result, we are all subject to the consequences of sin in the world. We may die as the result of another’s sin, carelessness, or ignorance, or as a result of our own. Because one person drives under the influence of alcohol, someone else might die on the highway. Because one person wants to maximize profits, others can suffer in wretched conditions. And because Achan sinned, others in Israel died at Ai.

None of this is “fair.” However, God promises to bring perfect justice in his own time. God’s justice will be mediated through his grace and mercy, brought to us through Jesus’ death in our place (see Rom 5:12-21).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

קֻ֚ם

While Yahweh does want Joshua to get up from kneeling down with his face on the ground, he is probably using the expression Arise to tell him to take action. Alternate translation: “Get going”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

קַדֵּ֣שׁ אֶת־ הָ⁠עָ֔ם וְ⁠אָמַרְתָּ֖ הִתְקַדְּשׁ֣וּ לְ⁠מָחָ֑ר

consecrate DOM the,people and,say consecrate for,tomorrow

This is the beginning of a quotation within a quotation that continues through 7:15. If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate all of it so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. The UST models one way to do that. Alternate translation: “Consecrate the people and tell them to consecrate themselves for tomorrow …”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

הִתְקַדְּשׁ֣וּ לְ⁠מָחָ֑ר

consecrate for,tomorrow

This is the beginning of a second-level quotation. If you do not translate it so that there is not a quotation within a quotation, you may wish to indicate its beginning with an opening second-level quotation mark or with some other punctuation or convention that your language uses to indicate the start of a second-level quotation.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

This is a third-level quotation. If you do not translate it so that there is not a quotation within a quotation within a quotation, you may wish to mark it with opening and closing third-level quotation marks or with some other punctuation or convention that your language uses to indicate a third-level quotation.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

יְהוָ֜ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל

YHWH god (Some words not found in UHB: go consecrate DOM the,people and,say consecrate for,tomorrow that/for/because/then/when thus he/it_had_said YHWH god Yisrael devoted_things in/on/at/with,midst,you Yisrael not be_able to,stand to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before enemies,your until remove,you_all the,devoted_things from,midst,your_all's )

For emphasis, Yahweh is instructing Joshua to refer to the Israelites in the third person, calling them by the name of their ancestor Israel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the second person. Alternate translation: “Yahweh, your God”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

לֹ֣א תוּכַ֗ל לָ⁠קוּם֙ לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י אֹיְבֶ֔י⁠ךָ

See how you translated this idiom in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “You will not be able to resist your enemies”
