Joshua 6:17-25
17But the cityH5892 shall be 1designatedH2764 forH2764 2destructionH2764, it and everythingH3605 that is in it belongs to the LordH3068; onlyH7534 RahabH7343 the prostituteH2181 3and allH3605 whoH834 are with her in the houseH1004 shall liveH2421, becauseH3588 she hidH2244 the messengersH4397 whomH834 we sentH7971. 18But as for you, onlyH7534 keepH8104 yourselves from the thingsH2764 designatedH2764 forH2764 destructionH2764, soH6435 thatH6435 you do notH6435 covetH2530 them and 4takeH3947 someH4480 of the designatedH2764 thingsH2764, and turnH7760 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478 into somethingH2764 designatedH2764 forH2764 destructionH2764 and bringH5916 disasterH5916 onH5916 it. 195But allH3605 the silverH3701 and goldH2091, and articlesH3627 of bronzeH5178 and ironH1270 are holyH6944 to the LordH3068; they shall goH935 into the treasuryH214 of the LordH3068.” 20So the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321, and 6the priests blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782; and when the peopleH5971 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, and the 7wallH2346 fellH5307 downH5307 8flatH8478, so that the peopleH5971 wentH5927 upH5927 into the cityH5892, everyoneH376 straightH5048 9aheadH5048, and they tookH3920 the cityH5892. 2110They 11utterlyH2763 destroyedH2763 everythingH3605 in the cityH5892, bothH4480H5704 manH376 and womanH802, youngH5288 and oldH2205, and oxH7794, sheepH7716, and donkeyH2543, with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.
22And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 to the twoH8147 menH376 who had spiedH7270 outH7270 the landH776, “12GoH935 into the prostitute’sH2181 houseH1004 and bringH3318 the womanH802 and allH3605 she has outH3318 of thereH8033, justH3512 asH3512 you have swornH7650 to her.” 23So the youngH5288 menH5288 who were spiesH7270 wentH935 inH935 and 13broughtH3318 outH3318 RahabH7343, her fatherH1, her motherH517, her brothersH251, and allH3605 she had; they also broughtH3318 outH3318 allH3605 her relativesH4940, and placedH5117 them outsideH4480H2351 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478. 24Then 14they burnedH8313 the cityH5892 with fireH784, and allH3605 that was in it. OnlyH7534 the silverH3701 and goldH2091, and the articlesH3627 of bronzeH5178 and ironH1270, they putH5414 into the treasuryH214 of the 15houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 25However, 16RahabH7343 the prostituteH2181 and her father’sH1 householdH1004 and allH3605 she had, JoshuaH3091 17sparedH2421; and she has livedH3427 in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478 to thisH2088 dayH3117, becauseH3588 18she hidH2244 the messengersH4397 whomH834 JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 to spyH7270 outH7270 JerichoH3405.
