Context: Joshua 6
22But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.
23And 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.
24And 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.
25And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.

Commentary
Joshua chapter 6 is a pivotal chapter in the book of Joshua, as it marks the beginning of the Israelites’ conquest of the Promised Land. The chapter opens with the Lord instructing Joshua to march around the city of Jericho for six days, with the priests blowing trumpets. On the seventh day, the Israelites were to march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets, and then the walls of Jericho would come tumbling down. This was a miraculous event, as it demonstrated the power of the Lord and His ability to protect and provide for His people.
