Definitions for Joshua 7:15
Barnes's Joshua 7:15 Bible Commentary

Wesley's Joshua 7:15 Bible Commentary
7:15 Shall be burnt with fire — As persons and things accursed were to be.
All that he hath — His children and goods, as is noted, verse 24, according to the law, Deuteronomy 13:16.
Wrought folly — So sin is often called in scripture, in opposition to the idle opinion of sinners, who commonly esteem it to be their wisdom.
In Israel — That is, among the church and people of God who had such excellent laws to direct them, and such an all-sufficient and gracious God to provide for them, without any such unworthy practices. It was sacrilege, it was invading God's rights, and converting to a private use that which was devoted to his glory, which was to be thus severely punished, for a warning to all people in all ages, to take heed how they rob God.
