15-17 When the seventh day came, they got up early and marched around the city this same way but seven times—yes, this day they circled the city seven times.

The city and everything in it is under a holy curse and offered up to God.

“Except for Rahab the harlot—she is to live, she and everyone in her house with her, because she hid the agents we sent.

18-19 “As for you, watch yourselves in the city under holy curse.

All silver and gold, all vessels of bronze and iron are holy to God. Put them in God’s treasury.”
