Joshua 6:24-26

Common English Bible

²⁴They burned the city and everything in it. But they put the silver and gold, along with the bronze and iron equipment, into the treasury of the Lord’s house. ²⁵Joshua let Rahab the prostitute live, her family, and everyone related to her. So her family still lives among Israel today, because she hid the spies whom Joshua had sent to scout out Jericho.

²⁶At that time Joshua made this decree:

“Anyone who starts to rebuild this city of Jericho will be cursed before the Lord.

Laying its foundations will cost them their oldest child.

Setting up its gates will cost them their youngest child.”
