Joshua 6:17

וְהָיְתָ֨ה הָעִ֥יר חֵ֛רֶם הִ֥יא וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־בָּ֖הּ לַֽיהוָ֑ה רַק֩ רָחָ֨ב הַזּוֹנָ֜ה תִּֽחְיֶ֗ה הִ֚יא וְכָל־אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתָּ֣הּ בַּבַּ֔יִת כִּ֣י הֶחְבְּאַ֔תָה אֶת־הַמַּלְאָכִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר שָׁלָֽחְנוּ׃
vhaytah haʿiyr ḥerem hiyʾ vkal-ʾasher-bah layhvah raq raḥab hazvonah tiḥyeh hiyʾ vkal-ʾasher ʾitah babayit kiy heḥbʾatah ʾet-hamalʾakiym ʾasher shalaḥnv
King James Version (KJV)

And the city shall be accursed, {even} it, and all that {are} therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that {are} with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent. {accursed: or, devoted}

Modern English

The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to Yahweh. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
