they ran unto the tent
on Joshua 7:22-23
The messengers run, and running is the only quick movement in a chapter that otherwise proceeds by assembly and lot. The tent is opened and the ground matches the confession exactly, the garment buried and the silver under it, as verse 21 had said. Then the goods are laid out before the Lord, so the silver and the gold reach the treasury they were devoted to at 6:19, after a defeat and thirty-six graves.
