Gill's Notes on the Bible
Only the cattle, and the spoil of the city, Israel took for a prey unto themselves,.... Even all their substance, as besides their cattle, also their gold, silver, household goods, merchandise, &c.
according unto the word of the Lord which he commanded Joshua, Joshua 8:2.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 27. Only the cattle and the spoil — In the case of Jericho these were all consigned to destruction, and therefore it was criminal to take any thing pertaining to the city, as we have already seen; but in the case before us the cattle and spoils were expressly given to the conquerors by the order of God. See Joshua 8:2.
