Joshua 6:23-25
Summary for Josh 6:24-27: 6:24-27 a Jericho’s citizens had already been executed (6:21 b). Now Joshua destroyed the town and its contents. The firstfruits of the spoils of war, as with all else, belonged to God. 6:24 c The fire melted and purified the silver, gold, bronze, and iron. These metals had probably been used for the figures of pagan gods. As these images melted, the metals were purified and made fit for dedication to God.6:25 d The statement that Rahab lives among the Israelites to this day affirms the breadth and depth of God’s grace. Rahab was not only accepted into Israel; she ultimately was an ancestor of the Messiah (see Matt 1:5 e).
