Joshua 6:20-27
20So the people shouted, and 1priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout and the 2wall fell down 3flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight 4ahead, and they took the city. 215They 6utterly 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, “7Go 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 8brought 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. 249They 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 10house of the Lord. 25However, 11Rahab the harlot and her father’s household and all she had, Joshua 12spared; and she has lived in the midst of Israel to this day, for 13she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26Then Joshua made them take an oath at that time, saying, “14Cursed before the Lord is the man who rises up and builds this city Jericho; with the loss of his firstborn he shall lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he shall set up its gates.” 27So 15the Lord was with Joshua, and his 16fame was in all the land.
