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 / explicit

וַ⁠יִּלָּכֵ֖ד שֵׁ֥בֶט יְהוּדָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,rose_early Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) in/on/at/with,morning and,brought_~_near DOM Yisrael by,tribes,him and,taken tribe Yehuda )

The cultural context suggests that Joshua may have used lots (small, marked stones) in this process, expecting that Yahweh would control which way they fell and thus guide the identification process. Alternate translation: “And Joshua cast lots, and the tribe of Judah was taken”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠יִּלָּכֵ֖ד שֵׁ֥בֶט יְהוּדָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,rose_early Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) in/on/at/with,morning and,brought_~_near DOM Yisrael by,tribes,him and,taken tribe Yehuda )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “And Yahweh indicated the tribe of Judah” or “And Yahweh guided the lots to identify the tribe of Judah”
