It seems like the God of the Old Testament is too simple for our complicated world sometimes. I understand that there are consequences for your actions, but 36 of Israel's 3,000 troops fell because one of them, Achan, was greedy and didn't follow God's instructions to not take plunder.
In order to have victory in battle, the community had to punish Achan by stoning him to death in front of his children.
Now taking plunder and killing 12,000 of Ai's men and women--all of them--in an ambush is okay. Really?
