And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.

Verse 24 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.

Aber die Stadt verbrannten sie mit Feuer und alles, was darin war. Allein das Silber und Gold und eherne und eiserne Geräte taten sie zum Schatz in das Haus des HERRN.
Y consumieron con fuego la ciudad, y todo lo que en ella había: solamente pusieron en el tesoro de la casa de Jehová la plata, y el oro, y los vasos de metal y de hierro.
Quemaron la ciudad y todo lo que había en ella. Solo la plata, el oro y los utensilios de bronce y de hierro pusieron en el tesoro de la casa de Jehová.
Ils brûlèrent la ville et tout ce qui s'y trouvait; seulement ils mirent dans le trésor de la maison de l'Eternel l'argent, l'or et tous les objets d'airain et de fer.
E i figliuoli d’Israele bruciarono col fuoco la città, e tutto ciò che v’era dentro; sol posero l’argento, e l’oro, e i vasellamenti di rame e di ferro, nel tesoro della Casa del Signore.
Porém a cidade e tudo quanto havia nela queimaram a fogo; tão-somente a prata, e o ouro, e os vasos de metal e de ferro, deram para o tesouro da casa do SENHOR.
他們用火焚燒了那城和其中所有的,只有金子、銀子和銅鐵的器皿都放在耶和華殿的庫房中。
