Joshua 6:18-24

18But as for you, only keep yourselves from the things under the ban, so that you do not 1covet them and 2take some of the things under the ban, and make the camp of Israel accursed and bring trouble on it. 193But 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 4priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout and the 5wall fell down 6flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight 7ahead, and they took the city. 218They 9utterly destroyed everything in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword.

22Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “10Go into the harlot’s house and bring the woman and all she has out of there, as you have sworn to her.” 23So the young men who were spies went in and 11brought out Rahab and her father and her mother and her brothers and all she had; they also brought out all her relatives and placed them outside the camp of Israel. 2412They burned the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only the silver and gold, and articles of bronze and iron, they put into the treasury of the 13house of the Lord.
