What had Jehovah commanded to be done with all that was in Jericho?

Jehovah had ordered everything in the city of Jericho to be destroyed, and with regard to the gold and silver that were to be taken to Jehovah's treasury, no one was to keep anything.

ADDITIONAL

Jehovah had ordered that everything in Jericho be destroyed, except for the gold and silver that should be taken to Jehovah's treasury.

What did Achan and his family do, and why? 

They hid everything that Achan had stolen among those things was a mantle, 200 shekels of silver and a 50-cycle gold bar, and they did it because they allowed their wishes to enter their eyes and thus they allowed this desire to enter their own. their hearts and as a result they came to do something unpleasant in the eyes of Jehovah.

ADDITIONAL

And something interesting that we observe in the video is that Achan and his entire family thought that it was impossible for anyone to see them, since they were sure that everything was hidden, but they had forgotten that Jehovah had already seen everything, since Jehovah revealed that An Israelite had been left with something that should have been destroyed and had stolen gold and silver that was for Jehovah's treasure, because the next morning he made all Israel present themselves tribe by tribe, family by family, house by house, man by man and in the end Jehovah showed who had disobeyed.

Ácan took home things that he should have destroyed and given to Jehovah's treasure, and his family supported him, they all agreed to cover it up and hide what was stolen. And they did it out of ambition, according to what they said, so they would have a good start in the promised land, they were worried if someone had seen them, they never thought of Jehovah.
