Joshua 6:16-18
Legacy Standard Bible
16 Now it happened that on the seventh time, the priests blew the trumpets, and Joshua said to the people, “(A)Shout! For Yahweh has given you the city. 17 And the city shall be (B)devoted to destruction, it and all that is in it belongs to Yahweh; only Rahab the harlot [a]and all who are with her in the house shall live because she hid the messengers whom we sent. 18 But as for you, only keep yourselves from the things devoted to destruction, lest as you are devoting them to destruction, you also (C)take some of the things devoted to destruction and make the camp of Israel devoted to destruction and bring trouble on it.

Joshua 6:16-18
New International Version
16 The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city!(A) 17 The city and all that is in it are to be devoted[a](B) to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute(C) and all who are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid(D) the spies we sent. 18 But keep away from the devoted things,(E) so that you will not bring about your own destruction by taking any of them. Otherwise you will make the camp of Israel liable to destruction(F) and bring trouble(G) on it.
