Contextual Overview

17 The city and everything is to be destroyed as an offering to the Lord . Only Rahab the prostitute and everyone in her house will be left alive. These people must not be killed because she helped the two spies. 18 Remember, we must destroy everything else. Don't take anything. If you take anything and bring it into our camp, you yourselves will be destroyed, and you will cause trouble for the rest of our people. 19 All the things made from silver, gold, bronze, and iron belong to the Lord . They must be put in the Lord 's treasury." 20 So then the priests blew the trumpets. When the people heard the trumpets, they began shouting. The walls fell down, and the people ran up into the city. So the Israelites defeated that city. 21 The people destroyed everything in the city. They destroyed everything that was living there. They killed the young and old men, the young and old women, and the cattle, sheep, and donkeys. 22 Joshua talked to the two spies. He said, "You made a promise to the prostitute. So go to her house and bring her out and all those who are with her." 23 So the two men went into the house and brought out Rahab, her father, mother, brothers, all her family, and all those who were with her. They put all the people in a safe place outside the camp of Israel. 24 Then the Israelites burned the whole city and everything in it except for the things made from silver, gold, bronze, and iron. They put these things in the Lord 's treasury. 25 Joshua saved Rahab the prostitute, her family, and all those who were with her. Joshua let them live because Rahab helped the spies Joshua had sent out to Jericho. Rahab still lives among the Israelites today. 26 At that time Joshua made this important promise. He said, "Whoever rebuilds Jericho will be in danger from the Lord . When he lays the foundation, he will lose his oldest son. When he sets up the gates, he will lose his youngest son."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But all the silver and gold, and vessels of brass and iron,

[are] consecrated to the Lord,.... Or rather, "for all the silver", c. as the particle here used sometimes signifies, and is so rendered d: each of these metals, and whatsoever were made of them, were set apart for the Lord, and dedicated to sacred uses, and might not be converted to any other, unless what were upon their idols, which were to be burnt with fire, Deuteronomy 7:25

they shall come into the treasury of the Lord; be brought into the tabernacle, as Kimchi and Abarbinel interpret it, into some apartment there destined for such service, and which is clear from Joshua 6:24; the same where the offering of the officers was brought after the battle with Midian, Numbers 31:54.

d וכל "nam totum", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Joshua 6:19. But all the silver, and gold - shall come into the treasury — The Brahmins will receive from any caste, however degraded, gold, silver, &c.: but to receive from Shoodras food, garments, &c., would be considered a great degradation.-Ward.
