After an introduction to the problem, the paper proceeds in three sections. In the first section, four current proposals are examined. All four are found to be inadequate, establishing the need for a new proposal—one which better matches the actual text of Josh 7. As a first step toward this new proposal, the second section provides an exegetical examination of the relevant passages (Josh 7:1–5, 10–15). In the third section, a new explanation is proposed which better accounts for the exegetical data. The new proposal is that the Achan-Israel relationship in Josh 7 is best explained in terms of Israel’s covenantal commitment to be a properly functioning community before God—a commitment Israel was failing to uphold at the time of the divine punishment. Thus, Israel was not punished for Achan’s sin but for their failure to uphold their covenantal obligation. The term corporate responsibility is ultimately found to be a fitting description of Israel’s relationship with Achan.
Masters Thesis
Chapter 1 carefully considers the relationship between the term and its immediate literary context. Chapter 2 establishes the conceptual domain of the noun. Chapter 3 discusses the classification of the article. Five prominent interpretations are then assessed in chapter 4 in light of the evidence presented in the first three chapters. Finally, in chapter 5, a new solution is proposed which better accounts for the actual wording of the Greek text.
