Achan’s Sin and Punishment God had specially guarded His people against mingling with the idolatrous nations around them, lest their hearts should be deceived by the attractive groves and shrines, temples and altars, which were arranged in the most expensive, alluring manner to pervert the senses so that God would be supplanted in the minds of the people. {3T 263.2}

Akans synd og straf
Gud havde særlig vogtet sit folk mod at blande sig med afguderiske nationer rundt omkring dem, så deres hjerter ikke bedrages af deres tiltrækkende lunde og helgenmonumenter, templer og altre, som blev arrangeret på den dyreste og mest fortryllende måde til sansernes forvrængelse så at Gud kunne fortrænges i folks tanker.
