16. The seventh time round, when the priests were about to sound the trumpets, Joshua ordered the people to shout, and he said, “The Lord has given you the city!
17. The city and everything in it must be totally destroyed as an offering to the Lord. Only the prostitute Rahab and her household will be spared, because she hid our spies.
18. But you are not to take anything that is to be destroyed; if you do, you will bring trouble and destruction on the Israelite camp.
19. Everything made of silver, gold, bronze, or iron is set apart for the Lord. It is to be put in the Lord's treasury.”
20. So the priests blew the trumpets. As soon as the people heard it, they gave a loud shout, and the walls collapsed. Then all the army went straight up the hill into the city and captured it.
