^8 (A)This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but ^(B)you^[a] shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

¹⁷ Now the city shall be ^(A)doomed by the Lord to destruction, it and all who are in it. Only ^(B)Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because ^(C)she hid the messengers that we sent.

²³ And the young men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab, ^(A)her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. So they brought out all her relatives and left them outside the camp of Israel. ²⁴ But they burned the city and all that was in it with fire. Only the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord. ²⁵ And Joshua spared Rahab the harlot, her father’s household, and all that she had. So ^(B)she dwells in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

⁵ Salmon begot ^(A)Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse,

³¹ By faith ^(A)the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who ^[a]did not believe, when ^(B)she had received the spies with peace.
