Joshua 6:17-25

Joshua 6:17-25

[17] And the city  shall be accursed,  even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD:  only Rahab  the harlot  shall live,  she and all that are with her in the house,  because she hid  the messengers  that we sent.  [18] And ye, in any wise  keep  yourselves from the accursed thing,  lest ye make yourselves accursed,  when ye take  of the accursed thing,  and make  the camp  of Israel  a curse,  and trouble  [19] But all the silver,  and gold,  and vessels  of brass  and iron,  are consecrated  unto the LORD:  they shall come  into the treasury  of the LORD.  [20] So the people  shouted  when the priests blew  with the trumpets:  and it came to pass, when the people  heard  the sound  of the trumpet,  and the people  shouted  with a great  shout,  that the wall  fell down flat,  so that the people  went up  into the city,  every man  straight before him, and they took  the city.  [21] And they utterly destroyed  all that was in the city,  both man  and woman,  young  and old,  and ox,  and sheep,  and ass,  with the edge  of the sword.  [22] But Joshua  had said  unto the two  men  that had spied out  the country,  Go  into the harlot's  house,  and bring out  thence the woman,  and all that she hath, as ye sware  unto her. [23] And the young men  that were spies  went in,  and brought out  Rahab,  and her father,  and her mother,  and her brethren,  and all that she had; and they brought out  all her kindred,  and left  them without  the camp  of Israel.  [24] And they burnt  the city  with fire,  and all that was therein: only the silver,  and the gold,  and the vessels  of brass  and of iron,  they put  into the treasury  of the house  of the LORD.  [25] And Joshua  Rahab  the harlot  alive,  and her father's  household,  and all that she had; and she dwelleth  in  Israel  even unto this day;  because she hid  the messengers,  which Joshua  sent  to spy out  Jericho.
