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 Josue said to the two men that had been sent for spies: Go into the harlot’s house, and bring her out, and all things that are hers, as you assured her by oath.

23 And the young men went in, and brought out Rahab, and her parents, her brethren also, and all her goods, and her kindred, and made them to stay without the camp.

24 But they burned the city, and all things that were therein; except the gold and silver, and vessels of brass and iron, which they consecrated unto the treasury of the Lord.

25 But Josue saved Rahab the harlot, and her father’s house, and all she had, and they dwelt in the midst of Israel until this present day: because she hid the messengers whom he had sent to spy out Jericho. At that time, Josue made an imprecation, saying:

26 Cursed be the man before the Lord, that shall raise up and build the city of Jericho. In his firstborn may he lay the foundation thereof, and in the last of his children set up its gates.
