Joshua 6:25-27
International Standard Version
25 But Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, along with her family and everyone who was with her. Her family[a] has lived in Israel ever since, because she hid the scouts whom Joshua sent to observe Jericho.
Joshua Curses the Rebuilding of Jericho
26 Then Joshua made everyone[b] take the following oath at that time. He said:
“Cursed in the presence of the Lord is the man
who restores and rebuilds this city of Jericho!
He will lay its foundation at the cost of[c] his firstborn,
and at the cost of[d] his youngest he will set up its gates.”
27 So the Lord was with Joshua, and as a result, Joshua’s[e] reputation spread throughout the land.
