The document describes two instances where Israelites sinned against God by disobeying his commands. The first was when Achan took devoted items from Jericho, which led God to become angry with the people. Achan confessed to taking a beautiful cloak, silver, and gold. He and his family were stoned to death for his sin. The second story describes King David seeing Bathsheba bathing and taking her, which led to adultery and murder. The document concludes with advice on how to avoid sin by always being ready to flee temptation, not acting alone, and considering the consequences of one's actions.
