New English Translation
Joshua 6:17-19
New English Translation
17 The city and all that is in it must be set apart for the Lord;[a] only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house will live, because she hid the spies[b] we sent. 18 But be careful when you are setting apart the riches for God. If you take any of it, then you will make the Israelite camp subject to annihilation and cause a disaster.[c] 19 All the silver and gold, as well as bronze and iron items, belong to the Lord.[d] They must go into the Lord’s treasury.”

Joshua 6:17-19
New International Version
17 The city and all that is in it are to be devoted[a](A) to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute(B) and all who are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid(C) the spies we sent. 18 But keep away from the devoted things,(D) 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(E) and bring trouble(F) on it. 19 All the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron(G) are sacred to the Lord and must go into his treasury.”
