23 So the young men that were spies, went in and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had: also they brought out all her family, and put them [a]without the host of Israel.

24 After, they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver and the gold, and the vessels of brass and iron, they put unto the treasure of the [b]house of the Lord.

25 So Joshua saved Rahab the harlot, and her father’s household, and all that she had, and she [c]dwelt in Israel, even unto this day, because she had hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
