Joshua 13:1
The Lord Speaks to Joshua
13:1 When Joshua was very old, 5 the Lord told him, “You are very old, and a great deal of land remains to be conquered.
Joshua 6:17-18
6:17 The city and all that is in it must be set apart for the
Lord,
6 except for Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house, because she hid the spies
7 we sent.
6:18 But be careful when you are setting apart the riches for the
Lord. If you take any of it, you will make the Israelite camp subject to annihilation and cause a disaster.
