Today the Shephelah symbolizes the places where God’s values meet the pagan practices of the world. Like the Israelites we have a choice: to withdraw to the “mountains” or to be on the front lines to confront secular values in our world, with Gods blessing and his power to gain control of the “coastal plains” the neighborhoods, cities, country.

Joshua had all pass before him - first the tribe, then the family, then the household, and then the man—Achan. He confessed to stealing a Babylonian garment, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold. He also admitted to burying them in the floor of his tent. "When I saw... I coveted... and took" (v. 21). The story of Achan provides a vivid illustration of Jam_1:14-15 : "But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.“ It may seem harsh that all of Achan's family shared in his fate, but sin is a serious matter. His family must have been aware of his activities, since the stolen goods were buried under their tent. Perhaps his children even participated in his sin. The lesson God was teaching His people was clear: Sin defiles the whole camp, and it must be totally eradicated whenever it surfaces.
