<p>20:33<em> I coveted no one's silver, or gold, or apparel</em>- This is the spirit of Moses in Num. 16:15: &quot;I have not taken one ass from them&quot;. Paul maybe also had these words in mind again in 2 Cor. 7:2: &quot;We have wronged no man... we have defrauded no man&quot;. Coveting these three things was precisely the sin of Achan (Josh. 7:21). Perhaps the point of the allusion was to say that calamity was awaiting the new Israel; the great victory over Jericho would soon give way to defeat. This would be due to the 1st century equivalent of Achan- but Paul was not Achan. It would not be his fault.</p><p>Wealth in those days was reflected in clothing, hence the warnings about the power of moths to destroy such wealth (Mt. 6:19; James 5:2).</p>
