In Exchange for His Soul—For a Babylonish robe and a paltry treasure of gold and silver, Achan consented to sell himself to evil, to bring upon his soul the curse of God, to forfeit his title to a rich possession in Canaan, and lose all prospect of the future, immortal inheritance in the earth made new. A fearful price indeed he paid for his ill-gotten gains! (The Signs of the Times, May 5, 1881). {2BC 997.6} | |

Hans sjæl til bytte. - Akan samtykkede i at sælge sig selv for en babylonisk klædning og en skat af guld og sølv, men bragte Guds forbandelse over sin sjæl og forsikrede sin ret til en besiddelse i Kana'an og mistede enhver mulighed for fremtidens evige arv på den nyskabte jord. Han betalte i sandhed en frygtelig pris (998) for sin slet erhvervede vinding. (ST 5. maj, 1881). |
