Joshua 6:18-20
New English Translation

18 But be careful when you are setting apart the riches for God. If you take any of it, then you will make the Israelite camp subject to annihilation and cause a disaster.[a] 19 All the silver and gold, as well as bronze and iron items, belong to the Lord.[b] They must go into the Lord’s treasury.”

20 The rams’ horns sounded,[c] and when the army[d] heard the signal,[e] they gave a loud battle cry.[f] The wall collapsed,[g] and the warriors charged straight ahead into the city and captured it.[h]

Footnotes

  1. Joshua 6:18 tn Heb “Only you keep [away] from what is set apart [to God] so that you might not, as you are setting [it] apart, take some of what is set apart [to God] and turn the camp of Israel into what is set apart [to destruction by God] and bring trouble on it.”
  2. Joshua 6:19 tn Heb “it is holy to the Lord.”
  3. Joshua 6:20 tc Heb “and the people shouted and they blew the rams’ horns.” The initial statement (“and the people shouted”) seems premature, since the verse goes on to explain that the battle cry followed the blowing of the horns. The statement has probably been accidentally duplicated from what follows. It is omitted in the LXX.
  4. Joshua 6:20 tn Heb “the people.”
  5. Joshua 6:20 tn Heb “the sound of the horn.”
  6. Joshua 6:20 tn Heb “they shouted with a loud shout.”
  7. Joshua 6:20 tn Heb “fell in its place.”
  8. Joshua 6:20 tn Heb “and the people went up into the city, each one straight ahead, and they captured the city.”
