Joshua 6:21-27

211They 2utterlyH2763 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, “3GoH935 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 4broughtH3318 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 5they 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 6houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 25However, 7RahabH7343 the prostituteH2181 and her father’sH1 householdH1004 and allH3605 she had, JoshuaH3091 8sparedH2421; and she has livedH3427 in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478 to thisH2088 dayH3117, becauseH3588 9she hidH2244 the messengersH4397 whomH834 JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 to spyH7270 outH7270 JerichoH3405.

26Then JoshuaH3091 made them takeH7650 anH7650 oathH7650 at that timeH6256, sayingH559, “10CursedH779 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 is the manH376 whoH834 risesH6965 upH6965 and buildsH1129 thisH2088 cityH5892 JerichoH3405; with the loss of his firstbornH1060 he will layH3245 its foundationH3245, and with the loss of his youngestH6810 sonH6810 he will setH5324 upH5324 its gatesH1817.” 27So 11the LordH3068 was with JoshuaH3091, and his 12fameH8089 was in allH3605 the landH776.
