Joshua 6:17 in Context — Joshua 6

15 Le septième jour, ils se levèrent de bon matin, dès l’aurore, et ils firent de la même manière sept fois le tour de la ville; ce fut le seul jour où ils firent sept fois le tour de la ville.

16 A la septième fois, comme les sacrificateurs sonnaient des trompettes, Josué dit au peuple: Poussez des cris, car l’Éternel vous a livré la ville!

17 La ville sera dévouée à l’Éternel par interdit, elle et tout ce qui s’y trouve; mais on laissera la vie à Rahab la prostituée et à tous ceux qui seront avec elle dans la maison, parce qu’elle a caché les messagers que nous avions envoyés.

18 Gardez-vous seulement de ce qui sera dévoué par interdit; car si vous preniez de ce que vous aurez dévoué par interdit, vous mettriez le camp d’Israël en interdit et vous y jetteriez le trouble.

19 Tout l’argent et tout l’or, tous les objets d’airain et de fer, seront consacrés à l’Éternel, et entreront dans le trésor de l’Éternel.
