Joshua 6:20-27
20So the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321, and the priests blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782: and it came to pass, when the peopleH5971 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, that the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH7321, and the wallH2346 fellH5307 downH5307 flat, so that the peopleH5971 wentH5927 up into the cityH5892, every manH376 straight before him, and they tookH3920 the cityH5892. 21And they utterly destroyed all that was in the cityH5892, both manH376 and womanH802, both youngH5288 and oldH2205, and oxH7794, and sheepH7716, and ass, with the edge of the swordH2719.
22And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the twoH8147 menH376 that had spiedH7270 out the landH776, GoH3318 into the harlot’s houseH1004, and bringH935 out thence the womanH802, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her. 23And the youngH5288 menH5288 the spiesH7270 wentH3318 in, and broughtH935 out RahabH7343, and her fatherH1, and her motherH517, and her brethren, and all that she had; all her kindred also they broughtH935 out; and they set them without the campH4264 of IsraelH3478. 24And they burntH8313 the cityH5892 with fireH784, and all that was therein; onlyH7535 the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the vesselsH3627 of brass and of ironH1270, they putH5414 into the treasuryH214 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah. 25But RahabH7343 the harlot, and her father’sH1 householdH1004, and all that she had, did JoshuaH3091 save aliveH2421; and she dweltH3427 in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478 unto this dayH3117, because she hidH2244 the messengersH4397, whom JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 to spyH7270 out JerichoH3405. 26And JoshuaH3091 charged them with an oathH7650 at that timeH6256, sayingH559, CursedH779 be the manH376 before Jehovah, that riseth up and buildeth this cityH5892 JerichoH3405: with the loss of his first-born shall he lay the foundation thereof, and with the loss of his youngestH6810 sonH6810 shall he setH6965 up the gates of it. 27So Jehovah wasH1961 with JoshuaH3091; and his fame wasH1961 in all the landH776.
