And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.

Verse 23 is found in chapter 6 of Joshua. Rahab and her family are preserved according to the covenant established with the spies. The contrast is significant: amid Jericho’s judgment, a foreign woman who recognized the God of Israel receives protection. The narrative also explains Joshua’s growing reputation, but attributes it to the Lord’s presence with him. The story of Jericho thus concludes by combining judgment, mercy, faithfulness to a promise, and confirmation of leadership.

Y los mancebos espías entraron, y sacaron a Rahab, y a su padre, y a su madre, y a sus hermanos, y todo lo que era suyo; y también sacaron a toda su parentela, y pusiéronlos fuera del campo de Israel.
Los jóvenes exploradores entraron y sacaron a Rahab, a su padre, a su madre, a sus hermanos y todo lo que le pertenecía. Sacaron también a toda su parentela y los dejaron fuera del campamento de Israel.
Les jeunes gens, les espions, entrèrent et firent sortir Rahab, son père, sa mère, ses frères, et tous ceux qui lui appartenaient; ils firent sortir tous les gens de sa famille, et ils les déposèrent hors du camp d'Israël.
E que’ giovani che aveano spiato il paese entrarono in quella casa, e ne fecero uscir fuori Rahab, e suo padre, e sua madre, e i suoi fratelli, e tutto ciò che le apparteneva; fecero eziandio uscir fuori tutte le famiglie dei suoi, e le misero fuor del campo d’Israele.
Então entraram os jovens espias, e tiraram a Raabe e a seu pai, e a sua mãe, e a seus irmãos, e a tudo quanto tinha; tiraram também a toda a sua parentela, e os puseram fora do arraial de Israel.
