Joshua 6:21-27
21With the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719 they devoted to destructionH2763 everythingH3605 in the cityH5892—manH376 and womanH802, youngH5288 andH5704 oldH2205H5704, oxenH7794, sheepH7716, and donkeysH2543.
22Meanwhile, JoshuaH3091 toldH559 the twoH8147 menH582 who had spied outH7270 the landH776, “Go intoH935 the houseH1004 of the prostituteH2181 and bring outH3318 the womanH802 and allH3605 who areH834 with her, just asH834 you promisedH7650 her.” 23So the youngH5288 spiesH7270 went inH935 and brought outH3318 RahabH7343, her fatherH1 andH853 motherH517 andH853 brothersH251, and allH3605 who belongedH834 to her. They brought outH3318 her wholeH3605 familyH4940 and settled themH5117 outsideH2351 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478.
24Then the Israelites burned upH8313H784 the cityH5892 and everythingH3605 in it. HoweverH7535, they putH5414 the silverH3701 and goldH2091 and articlesH3627 of bronzeH5178 and ironH1270 into the treasuryH214 of the LORD’sH3068 houseH1004. 25AndH853 JoshuaH3091 sparedH2421 RahabH7343 the prostituteH2181, withH853 her father’sH1 householdH1004 and allH3605 who belongedH834 to her, becauseH3588 she hidH2244 the menH4397 JoshuaH3091 had sentH7971 to spy outH7270 JerichoH3405. So she has livedH3427 amongH7130 the IsraelitesH3478 toH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117.
26At thatH1931H559 timeH6256 JoshuaH3091 invoked this solemn oathH7650:
27So the LORDH3068 wasH1961 withH854 JoshuaH3091, and his fameH8089 spreadH1961 throughoutH3605 the landH776.
