Joshua 7:21

Arabic Bible AVD 1999 (الكتاب المقدس)

رَأَيْتُ فِي ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ رِدَاءً شِنْعَارِيًّا نَفِيسًا، وَمِئَتَيْ شَاقِلِ فِضَّةٍ، وَلِسَانَ ذَهَبٍ وَزْنُهُ خَمْسُونَ شَاقِلًا، فَٱشْتَهَيْتُهَا وَأَخَذْتُهَا. وَهَا هِيَ مَطْمُورَةٌ فِي ٱلْأَرْضِ فِي وَسَطِ خَيْمَتِي، وَٱلْفِضَّةُ تَحْتَهَا».

Imagine if you found a really cool toy in a place you weren't supposed to take anything from. Joshua did something similar but with valuable things from a city. He hid them like a kid would hide a toy they shouldn't have taken.
