23 So the two men went into the house and brought out Rahab. They also brought out her father, mother, brothers and all those with her. They put all of her family in a safe place outside the camp of Israel.
24 Then Israel burned the whole city and everything in it. But they did not burn the things made from silver, gold, bronze and iron. These were saved for the Lord.
25 Joshua saved Rahab the prostitute, her family and all who were with her. He let them live. This was because Rahab had helped the men he had sent to spy out Jericho. Rahab still lives among the Israelites today.
26 Then Joshua made this important promise. He said:“Anyone who tries to rebuild this city of Jerichowill be punished by a curse from the Lord.The man who lays the foundation of this citywill lose his oldest son.The man who sets up the gateswill lose his youngest son.”
27 So the Lord was with Joshua. And Joshua became famous through all the land.
