Genesis 30:43Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.Genesis 31:19Now while Laban was out shearing his sheep, Rachel stole her father’s household idols.Genesis 31:36Then Jacob became incensed and challenged Laban. “What is my crime?” he said. “For what sin of mine have you so hotly pursued me?Genesis 31:37You have searched all my goods! Have you found anything that belongs to you? Put it here before my brothers and yours, that they may judge between the two of us.Genesis 31:38I have been with you for twenty years now. Your sheep and goats have not miscarried, nor have I eaten the rams of your flock.Genesis 31:39I did not bring you anything torn by wild beasts; I bore the loss myself. And you demanded payment from me for what was stolen by day or night.Genesis 31:40As it was, the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and sleep fled from my eyes.Genesis 31:41Thus for twenty years I have served in your household—fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks—and you have changed my wages ten times!Genesis 31:42If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, surely by now you would have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, and last night He rendered judgment.”Genesis 34:15We will consent to this on one condition, that you become circumcised like us—every one of your males.Genesis 34:16Then we will give you our daughters and take your daughters for ourselves. We will dwell among you and become one people.Genesis 34:17But if you will not agree to be circumcised, then we will take our sister and go.”Genesis 34:18Their offer seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem.Genesis 34:19The young man, who was the most respected of all his father’s household, did not hesitate to fulfill this request, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter.Genesis 34:20So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city and addressed the men of their city:Genesis 34:21“These men are at peace with us. Let them live and trade in our land; indeed, it is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters in marriage and give our daughters to them.Genesis 34:22But only on this condition will the men agree to dwell with us and be one people: if all our men are circumcised as they are.Genesis 34:23Will not their livestock, their possessions, and all their animals become ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell among us.”Genesis 34:24All the men who went out of the city gate listened to Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male of the city was circumcised.Genesis 34:25Three days later, while they were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons (Dinah’s brothers Simeon and Levi) took their swords, went into the unsuspecting city, and slaughtered every male.Genesis 34:26They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords, took Dinah out of Shechem’s house, and went away.Genesis 34:27Jacob’s other sons came upon the slaughter and looted the city, because their sister had been defiled.Genesis 34:28They took their flocks and herds and donkeys, and everything else in the city or in the field.Genesis 34:29They carried off all their possessions and women and children, and they plundered everything in their houses.Genesis 34:30Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble upon me by making me a stench to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people of this land. We are few in number; if they unite against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”Genesis 34:31But they replied, “Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?”Leviticus 6:2“If someone sins and acts unfaithfully against the LORD by deceiving his neighbor in regard to a deposit or security entrusted to him or stolen, or if he extorts his neighborLeviticus 6:3or finds lost property and lies about it and swears falsely, or if he commits any such sin that a man might commit—Leviticus 6:4once he has sinned and becomes guilty, he must return what he has stolen or taken by extortion, or the deposit entrusted to him, or the lost property he found,Leviticus 6:5or anything else about which he has sworn falsely. He must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value, and pay it to the owner on the day he acknowledges his guilt.Leviticus 6:6Then he must bring to the priest his guilt offering to the LORD: an unblemished ram of proper value from the flock.Leviticus 6:7In this way the priest will make atonement for him before the LORD, and he will be forgiven for anything he may have done to incur guilt.”Leviticus 19:13You must not defraud your neighbor or rob him. You must not withhold until morning the wages due a hired hand.Leviticus 19:35You must not use dishonest measures of length, weight, or volume.Leviticus 19:36You shall maintain honest scales and weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.Deuteronomy 25:13You shall not have two differing weights in your bag, one heavy and one light.Deuteronomy 25:14You shall not have two differing measures in your house, one large and one small.Deuteronomy 25:15You must maintain accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.Deuteronomy 25:16For everyone who behaves dishonestly in regard to these things is detestable to the LORD your God.Joshua 7:11Israel has sinned; they have transgressed My covenant that I commanded them, and they have taken some of what was devoted to destruction. Indeed, they have stolen and lied, and they have put these things with their own possessions.Joshua 7:12This is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies. They will turn their backs and run from their enemies, because they themselves have been set apart for destruction. I will no longer be with you unless you remove from among you whatever is devoted to destruction.Joshua 7:13Get up and consecrate the people, saying, ‘Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Among you, O Israel, there are things devoted to destruction. You cannot stand against your enemies until you remove them.Joshua 7:14In the morning you must present yourselves tribe by tribe. The tribe that the LORD selects shall come forward clan by clan, and the clan that the LORD selects shall come forward family by family, and the family that the LORD selects shall come forward man by man.Joshua 7:15The one who is caught with the things devoted to destruction must be burned, along with all that belongs to him, because he has transgressed the covenant of the LORD and committed an outrage in Israel.’”Joshua 7:16So Joshua arose early the next morning and had Israel come forward tribe by tribe, and the tribe of Judah was selected.Joshua 7:17He had the clans of Judah come forward, and the clan of the Zerahites was selected. He had the clan of the Zerahites come forward, and the family of Zabdi was selected.Joshua 7:18And he had the family of Zabdi come forward man by man, and Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was selected.Joshua 7:19So Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and make a confession to Him. I urge you to tell me what you have done; do not hide it from me.”Joshua 7:20“It is true,” Achan replied, “I have sinned against the LORD, the God of Israel. This is what I did:Joshua 7:21When I saw among the spoils a beautiful cloak from Shinar, two hundred shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”Joshua 7:22So Joshua sent messengers who ran to the tent, and there it all was, hidden in his tent, with the silver underneath.Joshua 7:23They took the things from inside the tent, brought them to Joshua and all the Israelites, and spread them out before the LORD.Joshua 7:24Then Joshua, together with all Israel, took Achan son of Zerah, the silver, the cloak, the bar of gold, his sons and daughters, his oxen and donkeys and sheep, his tent, and everything else he owned, and brought them to the Valley of Achor.Joshua 7:25“Why have you brought this trouble upon us?” said Joshua. “Today the LORD will bring trouble upon you!” And all Israel stoned him to death. Then they stoned the others and burned their bodies.Joshua 7:26And they heaped over Achan a large pile of rocks that remains to this day. So the LORD turned from His burning anger. Therefore that place is called the Valley of Achor to this day.Judges 17:2said to his mother, “The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from you and about which I heard you utter a curse—I have the silver here with me; I took it.” Then his mother said, “Blessed be my son by the LORD!”Judges 18:14Then the five men who had gone to spy out the land of Laish said to their brothers, “Did you know that one of these houses has an ephod, household gods, a graven image, and a molten idol? Now think about what you should do.”Judges 18:15So they turned aside there and went to the home of the young Levite, the house of Micah, and greeted him.Judges 18:16The six hundred Danites stood at the entrance of the gate, armed with their weapons of war.Judges 18:17And the five men who had gone to spy out the land went inside and took the graven image, the ephod, the household idols, and the molten idol, while the priest stood at the entrance of the gate with the six hundred armed men.
