Joshua 6:24 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 6:24

And they burnt the city with fire, and all that [was]
therein
As Babylon the great, of which this city was an emblem, as has been observed, (See Gill on Joshua 6:20); will be burnt with fire also, ( Revelation 18:8 ) ;

only the silver and the gold, and the vessels of brass and iron, they
put into the treasury of the house of the Lord;
(See Gill on Joshua 6:19).

Joshua 6:24 In-Context

22 Joshua then told the two men who had served as spies, "Go into the prostitute's house, and bring her and her family out, as you promised her."

23 So they went and brought Rahab out, along with her father and mother, her brothers, and the rest of her family. They took them all, family and slaves, to safety near the Israelite camp.

24 Then they set fire to the city and burned it to the ground, along with everything in it, except the things made of gold, silver, bronze, and iron, which they took and put in the Lord's treasury.

25 But Joshua spared the lives of the prostitute Rahab and all her relatives, because she had hidden the two spies that he had sent to Jericho. (Her descendants have lived in Israel to this day.)

26 At this time Joshua issued a solemn warning: "Anyone who tries to rebuild the city of Jericho will be under the Lord's curse. Whoever lays the foundation will lose his oldest son; Whoever builds the gates will lose his youngest."
