Joshua 6:23-25
New English Translation
23 So the young spies went and brought out Rahab, her father, mother, brothers, and all who belonged to her. They brought out her whole family and took them to a place outside[a] the Israelite camp. 24 But they burned[b] the city and all that was in it, except for the silver, gold, and bronze and iron items they put in the treasury of the Lord’s house.[c] 25 Yet Joshua spared[d] Rahab the prostitute, her father’s family,[e] and all who belonged to her. She lives in Israel[f] to this very day because she hid the messengers Joshua sent to spy on Jericho.
