Joshua 6:17-21
17The city shall be 1under the ban, it and all that is in it belongs to the Lord; only Rahab the harlot 2and all who are with her in the house shall live, because she hid the messengers whom we sent. 18But as for you, only keep yourselves from the things under the ban, so that you do not 3covet them and 4take some of the things under the ban, and make the camp of Israel accursed and bring trouble on it. 195But all the silver and gold and articles of bronze and iron are holy to the Lord; they shall go into the treasury of the Lord.” 20So the people shouted, and 6priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout and the 7wall fell down 8flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight 9ahead, and they took the city. 2110They 11utterly destroyed everything in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
