 My final post on this too. It is hardly likely that Achan's wife and children
 were unaware of his deed. They could have "blown the whistle", but did not:
 so they were accessories before and/or during and/or after the act.
 But you are right. Let's not read too much into the rather sparse text.

 Shalom
