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.”
