 God could have immediately identified Achan as the problem but instead, he tells the people to consecrate themselves. To prepare themselves.

 Look at what happens, little by little the people are funneled down until only Achan and his family remains.

-It is interesting that while Achan does confess he sinned, there is no sign of remorse or asking for forgiveness. Achen simply states that he committed the act. The solution to this sin problem is the complete destruction of Achan and all that belonged to him. Why his son's and his daughters?

 ===Image: Repairing rust on a car, cut it out!===
 I have a truck that has some rust. I will tell you that there are parts where I did the repair right, and parts where I need to redo the repair. You see, if you don't completely cut out the rust, it comes back. In order to repair the rust on a vehicle you must cut deep, cut hard, and grind out any hint at rust.
