Joshua 6:24-26
New International Reader's Version
Joshua 6:24-26
New International Reader's Version
24 Then they burned the whole city and everything in it. But they added the silver and gold to the treasures kept in the Lord’s house. They also put there the things made out of bronze and iron. 25 But Joshua spared the prostitute Rahab. He spared her family. He also spared everyone else in the house with her. He did it because she hid the spies he had sent to Jericho. Rahab lives among the Israelites to this day.
26 At that time Joshua made a promise and called down a curse. He said, “May the person who tries to rebuild this city of Jericho be under the Lord’s curse.
“If that person lays its foundations,
it will cost the life of his oldest son.
If he sets up its gates,
it will cost the life of his youngest son.”

Joshua 6:24-26
New International Version
24 Then they burned the whole city(A) and everything in it, but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron(B) into the treasury of the Lord’s house.(C) 25 But Joshua spared(D) Rahab the prostitute,(E) with her family and all who belonged to her, because she hid the men Joshua had sent as spies to Jericho(F)—and she lives among the Israelites to this day.
26 At that time Joshua pronounced this solemn oath:(G) “Cursed(H) before the Lord is the one who undertakes to rebuild this city, Jericho:
“At the cost of his firstborn son
he will lay its foundations;
at the cost of his youngest
he will set up its gates.”(I)
