Josh and the Big Wall

Joshua
Today's reading in Joshua (chapters 6-7), about the destruction of Jericho, reminded me of an online game I played a few times on Big Idea's website (the Veggie Tales company).  It consisted of having a few Israelites walk around the walls of Jericho and avoiding the grape slurpees that the evil Peas of Jericho were trying to throw on them.  I just checked, and the game is still up: http://www.bigideafun.com/veggietales/arcade/josh/info.htm.  It's a simplistic reproduction of this story from the Old Testament, but it's a fun way to get kids involved!
As for chapter 7 and the account of Achan's sin, I was concerned about verse 25, which seemed to suggest, in the NIV, that Achan's sons and daughters were stoned with him for his having taken the devoted things (silver and gold) when destroying Jericho.  This punishment of his children didn't seem so just, so I'm inclined to agree with Clarke's Commentary, which states that other versions of the text (Hebrew, Greek, Latin) seem to suggest that only Achan and his possessions, such as his cattle, sheep, tents, etc. were destroyed.  For more info on that topic, click here (to go to bible.cc).
