Joshua 7:19Meaning & Commentary from the Church Fathers

To honor God, expressing glory to Him as Scripture conveys involves disclosing the truth before others, motivated by recognition of God's Majesty and a deep respect for the God of truth. Joshua addressed Achan, stating, “My son, give glory this day to the Lord God of Israel, and tell me what you have done.” In a similar manner, the Pharisees, instructing the healed blind man to disclose the complete truth about his experience, urged, “Give glory to God” (John 9:24).
