- Abstract
- (en) The account of Achan’s infidelity in Jos 7 offers a beautiful example of a particular narrative device: the reader-elevating position. From verse 1, the reader is informed of an event that all the human characters ignore: the sin of Achan who broke the ḥeræm during the conquest of Jericho. This article proposes a narrative reading of this episode in the context of the first part of Joshua, in order to highlight the narrative effects allowed by this device: irony, suspense, surprise and curiosity; it also contributes to the characterization of the personages, Joshua in particular, and sheds significant new light on repetitions apparently useless at the end of the episode.
