¹⁷ The city and all that is in it are to be devoted^[a](A) to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute^(B) and all who are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid^(C) the spies we sent.

²² Joshua said to the two men^(A) who had spied out^(B) the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house and bring her out and all who belong to her, in accordance with your oath to her.^(C)” ²³ So the young men who had done the spying went in and brought out Rahab, her father and mother, her brothers and sisters and all who belonged to her.^(D) They brought out her entire family and put them in a place outside the camp of Israel.

²⁴ Then they burned the whole city^(E) and everything in it, but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron^(F) into the treasury of the Lord’s house.^{(G) 25} But Joshua spared^(H) Rahab the prostitute,^(I) with her family and all who belonged to her, because she hid the men Joshua had sent as spies to Jericho^(J)—and she lives among the Israelites to this day.
