Joshua 6:18-24

18And ye, in any wiseH7535 keepH8104 yourselves from the accursed thingH2764, lest ye make yourselves accursedH2763, when ye takeH3947 of the accursed thingH2764, and makeH7760 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478 a curseH2764, and troubleH5916 it.12

19But all the silverH3701, and goldH2091, and vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 and ironH1270, are consecratedH6944 unto YhwhH3068: they shall comeH935 into the treasuryH214 of YhwhH3068.3

20So the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 when the priests blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782: and it came to pass, when the peopleH5971 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, that the wallH2346 fell down flatH5307, so that the peopleH5971 went upH5927 into the cityH5892, every manH376 straight before him, and they tookH3920 the cityH5892.4

21And they utterly destroyedH2763 all that was in the cityH5892, both manH376 and womanH802, youngH5288 and oldH2205, and oxH7794, and sheepH7716, and donkeyH2543, with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.

22But JoshuaH3091 had saidH559 unto the twoH8147 menH582 that had spied outH7270 the countryH776, GoH935 into the harlot’sH2181 houseH1004, and bring outH3318 thence the womanH802, and all that she hath, as ye swareH7650 unto her.

23And the young menH5288 that were spiesH7270 went inH935, and brought outH3318 RahabH7343, and her fatherH1, and her motherH517, and her brethrenH251, and all that she had; and they brought outH3318 all her kindredH4940, and leftH3240 them withoutH2351 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478.5

24And they burntH8313 the cityH5892 with fireH784, and all that was therein: only the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 and of ironH1270, they putH5414 into the treasuryH214 of the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068.
