Joshua 6:24-26
Expanded Bible
24 Then Israel burned the whole city and everything in it, but they did not burn the things made from silver, gold, bronze, and iron. These were ·saved for [L put in the treasury of the house of] the Lord. 25 Joshua saved Rahab the prostitute, her ·family [L father’s household], and all who ·were with [belonged to] her, because Rahab had helped the men he had sent to spy out Jericho [Matt. 1:5; Heb. 11:31; James 2:25]. Rahab still lives among the Israelites today.
26 Then Joshua ·made [or caused them to take] this oath:
“Anyone who tries to rebuild this city of Jericho
will be cursed ·by [or before] the Lord.
The one who lays the foundation of this city
will lose his ·oldest [firstborn] son,
and the one who sets up the gates
will lose his youngest son [1 Kin. 16:34].”
Joshua 6:24-26
New International Version
24 Then they burned the whole city(A) and everything in it, but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron(B) into the treasury of the Lord’s house.(C) 25 But Joshua spared(D) Rahab the prostitute,(E) with her family and all who belonged to her, because she hid the men Joshua had sent as spies to Jericho(F)—and she lives among the Israelites to this day.
26 At that time Joshua pronounced this solemn oath:(G) “Cursed(H) 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.”(I)
