  2. Exposition

Why would Achan's confession of sin give glory to the LORD?

Joshua 7:19 (ESV)

19 Then Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give glory to the LORD God of Israel and give praise to him. And tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.”

Achan’s confession of his sin would give praise and glory to God because he thereby shows that the divine judgment has been just.1
