La ciudad será completamente destruida como ofrenda al SEÑOR, la ciudad y todo lo que hay en ella. Solo Rahab la prostituta podrá vivir, junto con todos los que estén en su casa, porque protegió a los espías que enviamos.

📚 Contexto Histórico
In the historical context, Joshua led the Israelites in conquering the Promised Land after their exodus from Egypt, with Jericho being the first fortified city they encountered as part of God's command to take possession of Canaan. The city was placed under a divine ban, meaning everything in it was to be destroyed as an offering to the Lord, reflecting the ancient practice of holy war to eliminate idolatry and secure the land for Israel. However, Rahab and her family were spared because she had shown faith by hiding the Israelite spies, demonstrating God's mercy toward those who aligned with His people.
