21. They claimed everything in it for the Lord. With their swords they killed men and women, young and old, as well as cattle, sheep, and donkeys.
22. But Joshua said to the two spies, “Go to the prostitute’s house. Bring the woman out, along with everything she has, as you swore you would do for her.”
23. The spies went and brought out Rahab, her father, mother, brothers, everything she had, and even all of her relatives. They gave them a place outside the camp of Israel.
24. Then Israel burned the city and everything in it. But they put the silver and gold and everything made of bronze and iron into the Lord’s treasury.
25. Joshua spared the prostitute Rahab, her father’s family, and everything she had. She still lives in Israel today because she hid the messengers Joshua had sent to look at Jericho.
26. At that time Joshua pronounced this curse:“The Lord will cursewhoever comes to rebuild the city of Jericho.It will cost him his firstborn sonto lay the foundation.It will cost him his youngest sonto set up the city doors.”
27. So the Lord was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout the land.
