Joshua 6:25-27

International Children’s Bible

²⁵Joshua saved Rahab the prostitute, her family and all who were with her. He let them live. This was because Rahab had helped the men he had sent to spy out Jericho. Rahab still lives among the Israelites today.

²⁶Then Joshua made this important promise. He said:

“Anyone who tries to rebuild this city of Jericho
    will be punished by a curse from the Lord.

²⁷So the Lord was with Joshua. And Joshua became famous through all the land.
