Contextual Overview

17 The city and everything in it are to be destroyed as an offering to the Lord . Only Rahab the prostitute and everyone in her house should remain alive. They must not be killed, because Rahab hid the two spies we sent out. 18 Don't take any of the things that are to be destroyed as an offering to the Lord . If you take them and bring them into our camp, you yourselves will be destroyed, and you will bring trouble to all of Israel. 19 All the silver and gold and things made from bronze and iron belong to the Lord and must be saved for him." 20 When the priests blew the trumpets, the people shouted. At the sound of the trumpets and the people's shout, the walls fell, and everyone ran straight into the city. So the Israelites defeated that city. 21 They completely destroyed with the sword every living thing in the city—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep, and donkeys. 22 Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, "Go into the prostitute's house. Bring her out and bring out those who are with her, because of the promise you made to her." 23 So the two men went into the house and brought out Rahab, her father, mother, brothers, and all those with her. They put all of her family in a safe place outside the camp of Israel. 24 Then Israel burned the whole city and everything in it, but they did not burn the things made from silver, gold, bronze, and iron. These were saved for the Lord . 25 Joshua saved Rahab the prostitute, her family, and all who were with her, because Rahab had helped the men he had sent to spy out Jericho. Rahab still lives among the Israelites today. 26 Then Joshua made this oath: "Anyone who tries to rebuild this city of Jericho will be cursed by the Lord . The one who lays the foundation of this city will lose his oldest son, and the one who sets up the gates 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.
