Joshua 6:22–26

²²Joshua said to the two men^q who had spied out^r the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house and bring her out and all who belong to her, in accordance with your oath to her.^s” ²³So the young men who had done the spying went in and brought out Rahab, her father and mother, her brothers and sisters and all who belonged to her.^t They brought out her entire family and put them in a place outside the camp of Israel.

²⁴Then they burned the whole city^u and everything in it, but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron^v into the treasury of the Lord’s house.^{w 25}But Joshua spared^x Rahab the prostitute,^y with her family and all who belonged to her, because she hid the men Joshua had sent as spies to Jericho^z—and she lives among the Israelites to this day.

²⁶At that time Joshua pronounced this solemn oath:^a “Cursed^b before the Lord is the one who undertakes to rebuild this city, Jericho:

“At the cost of his firstborn son

he will lay its foundations;

at the cost of his youngest

he will set up its gates.”^c
