Josué 6:22 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 6:22

But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the
country
Whom he had sent on that errand, ( Joshua 2:1 ) ; and what follows he had said unto them before the people entered into the city, and perhaps before the walls of it fell; and indeed from ( Joshua 6:16 Joshua 6:17 ) , it appears to have been said at the time he gave the people orders to shout:

go into the harlot's house:
he does not mention her name but they full well knew who he meant:

and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath;
not so much her substance, as her father's household, she had got together there, that they might be saved, as had been promised her:

as ye sware unto her;
so that this order was partly on account of her kindness to them, ( Joshua 6:17 ) ; and partly on account of the oath which they had taken, and which Joshua would have inviolably kept.

Josué 6:22 In-Context

20 Entonces los sacerdotes tocaron las trompetas, y la gente gritó a voz en cuello, ante lo cual las murallas de Jericó se derrumbaron. El pueblo avanzó, sin ceder ni un centímetro, y tomó la ciudad.
21 Mataron a filo de espada a todo hombre y mujer, joven y anciano. Lo mismo hicieron con las vacas, las ovejas y los burros; destruyeron todo lo que tuviera aliento de vida. ¡La ciudad entera quedó arrasada!
22 Ahora bien, Josué les había dicho a los dos exploradores: «Vayan a casa de la prostituta, y tráiganla junto con sus parientes, tal como se lo juraron».
23 Así que los jóvenes exploradores entraron y sacaron a Rajab junto con sus padres y hermanos, y todas sus pertenencias, y llevaron a toda la familia a un lugar seguro, fuera del campamento israelita.
24 Solo entonces los israelitas incendiaron la ciudad con todo lo que había en ella, menos los objetos de plata, de oro, de bronce y de hierro, los cuales depositaron en el tesoro de la casa del SEÑOR.
