Joshua 6:18 is the original command to avoid devoted things—Israel's violation caused the condition in 7:12.

Joshua 22:18-20 directly cites Achan's sin as a precedent: his unfaithfulness brought God's wrath on the whole community.

Psalm 5:5 says the arrogant cannot stand in God's presence, echoing Joshua 7:12 where Israel's sin caused them to fall before enemies.

Proverbs 28:1 states the wicked flee even when no one pursues, directly illustrating Israel's panic and flight in Joshua 7:12 due to their sin.
