Achan buries the spoils of war, intended for God, in his tent. His family helps him. In the background, the Israelites are fleeing from the army of the city of Ai. On the left stands Joshua with the commander's staff in his hand. Below the image, a Latin reference to the Biblical text in Joshua 7:1. This print is part of an album.
