But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the devoted thing; for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the devoted thing: and the anger of Yahweh was kindled against the children of Israel.
Matthew Henry, and others, have pointed out that, "This chapter begins with a "BUT."[1]  That word, with all that is entailed, echoes like a sour note in a symphony throughout the entire O.T.  This also is echoed in the writings of the New Testament.  The name "Herod" in  Matthew 2:1, is exactly the same kind of change as that noted here.
