15 Then it happened that on the seventh day they rose early at the ¹breaking of dawn and marched around the city in the same manner seven times; only on that day they marched around the city seven times. 16 Now it happened that on the seventh time, the priests blew the trumpets, and Joshua said to the people, “^aShout! For Yahweh has given you the city. 17 And the city shall be ^adevoted to destruction, it and all that is in it belongs to Yahweh; only Rahab the harlot ¹and all who are with her in the house shall live because she hid the messengers whom we sent. 18 But as for you, only keep yourselves from the things devoted to destruction, lest as you are devoting them to destruction, you also ^atake some of the things devoted to destruction and make the camp of Israel devoted to destruction and bring trouble on it. 19 ^aBut all the silver and gold and articles of bronze and iron are holy to Yahweh; they shall go into the treasury of Yahweh.” 20 So the people shouted, and ¹the priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout, and the ^awall fell down ²beneath itself, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight ³ahead, and they took the city. 21 ^aAnd they devoted to destruction everything in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword.

24 ^aBut they burned the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only the silver and gold, and articles of bronze and iron, they put into the treasury of the ¹house of Yahweh.
