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 But Joshua said to the two spies, "Go to the prostitute's house. Bring the woman out, along with everything she has, as you swore you would do for her."
23 The spies went and brought out Rahab, her father, mother, brothers, everything she had, and even all of her relatives. They gave them a place outside the camp of Israel.
24 Then Israel burned the city and everything in it. But they put the silver and gold and everything made of bronze and iron into the LORD's treasury.
25 Joshua spared the prostitute Rahab, her father's family, and everything she had. She still lives in Israel today because she hid the messengers Joshua had sent to look at Jericho.
26 At that time Joshua pronounced this curse: "The LORD will curse whoever comes to rebuild the city of Jericho. It will cost him his firstborn son to lay the foundation. It will cost him his youngest son to set up the city doors."
