Joshua 7:15

וְהָיָה֙ הַנִּלְכָּ֣ד בַּחֵ֔רֶם יִשָּׂרֵ֣ף בָּאֵ֔שׁ אֹתֹ֖ו וְאֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־לֹ֑ו כִּ֤י עָבַר֙ אֶת־בְּרִ֣ית יְהוָ֔ה וְכִֽי־עָשָׂ֥ה נְבָלָ֖ה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

And it shall be that the one who is seized with the devoted thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that belongs to him, because he has transgressed the covenant of YHWH and because he has committed a disgraceful act in Yisraʾel.
