如果那藏有當毀滅的物的人被抽籤抽中了,他和他所有的一切都要用火焚燒;因為他違背了耶和華的約,又因為他在以色列中作了愚昧的事。’”

Contextual Overview

10 The Lord said to Joshua, "Stand up! Why are you down on your face? 11 The Israelites have sinned; they have broken the agreement I commanded them to obey. They took some of the things I commanded them to destroy. They have stolen and lied and have taken those things for themselves. 12 That is why the Israelites cannot face their enemies. They turn away from the fight and run, because I have commanded that they be destroyed. I will not help you anymore unless you destroy everything as I commanded you. 13 "Now go! Make the people holy. Tell them, ‘Set yourselves apart to the Lord for tomorrow. The Lord , the God of Israel, says some of you are keeping things he commanded you to destroy. You will never defeat your enemies until you throw away those things. 14 "‘Tomorrow morning you must be present with your tribes. The Lord will choose one tribe to stand alone before him. Then the Lord will choose one family group from that tribe to stand before him. Then the Lord will choose one family from that family group to stand before him, person by person. 15 The one who is keeping what should have been destroyed will himself be destroyed by fire. Everything he owns will be destroyed with him. He has broken the agreement with the Lord and has done a disgraceful thing among the people of Israel!'"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it shall be, [that] he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire,.... He that is taken by lot, and the accursed thing found with him, this should be the death, burning, one of the four capital punishments with the Jews: this was ordered in this case, because the city of Jericho, accursed or devoted, was burnt with fire, Joshua 6:24;

he and all that he hath; the particulars of which are enumerated, Joshua 7:24;

because he hath transgressed the covenant of the Lord;

Joshua 7:24- :;

and because he hath wrought folly in Israel; as all sin and every transgression of the law is, and was the cause of Israel's turning their backs on their enemies; which, as Abarbinel says, was folly, and made the people of Israel look foolish, mean, and contemptible: the word has also the signification of a dead carcass, and may possibly have respect, to the thirty six men whose death he was the occasion of, Joshua 7:5, and therefore justly ought to die himself.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

burnt with fire - i. e. after he had been put to death by stoning Joshua 7:25; Leviticus 20:14.
