Israel — Some or one of them. Transgressed my covenant — That is, broken the conditions of my covenant which they have promised to perform, whereof this was one, not to meddle with the accursed thing. Stolen — That is, taken my portion which I had reserved, Joshua 6:19. Dissembled — Covered the fact with deep dissimulation. Possibly Achan might be suspected, and being accused, had denied it. Among their own stuff — Converted it to their own use, and added obstinacy to the crime.
