Context — The Walls of Jericho
17Now the city and everything in it must be devoted to the LORD for destruction. Only Rahab the prostitute and all those with her in her house will live, because she hid the spies we sent.
18But keep away from the things devoted to destruction, lest you yourself be set apart for destruction. If you take any of these, you will set apart the camp of Israel for destruction and bring disaster upon it.
19For all the silver and gold and all the articles of bronze and iron are holy to the LORD; they must go into His treasury.”
20So when the rams’ horns sounded, the people shouted. When they heard the blast of the horn, the people gave a great shout, and the wall collapsed. Then all the people charged straight into the city and captured it. 21With the edge of the sword they devoted to destruction everything in the city—man and woman, young and old, oxen, sheep, and donkeys.Cross References

Joshua 6:19 Summary
[Joshua 6:19 teaches us that everything we have belongs to God, and we should use our resources for His purposes. This means that we should give our best to God, just like the Israelites did with the silver and gold, and use our talents and possessions to bring Him glory, as seen in Matthew 25:14-30 and 1 Corinthians 4:2. By doing so, we can reflect God's heart and demonstrate our trust in His sovereignty. As we surrender our resources to God, we can experience the joy of giving and the peace of knowing that we are using our lives for something greater than ourselves.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for the silver, gold, and other articles to be 'holy to the LORD' in Joshua 6:19?
This means that these items are set apart and dedicated for God's use, much like the offerings and tithes described in Leviticus 27:30 and Numbers 18:19. They are to be used for God's purposes, not for personal gain.
Why were the Israelites instructed to put these items into the LORD's treasury?
The LORD's treasury likely refers to the tabernacle or the temple, where items dedicated to God were stored and used for worship and sacrifices, as seen in 2 Chronicles 5:1 and 1 Kings 7:51. This emphasizes the importance of giving God our best and using our resources for His glory.
How does this verse relate to the concept of stewardship in the Bible?
This verse highlights the idea that everything we have belongs to God, and we are stewards of His resources, as stated in Psalm 24:1 and 1 Corinthians 4:2. We are to use our resources wisely and for God's purposes, not just our own desires.
What is the significance of the distinction between what is devoted to destruction and what is set apart for the LORD's treasury?
This distinction emphasizes the importance of obedience to God's commands and the danger of disobedience, as seen in Joshua 6:18 and 1 Samuel 15:22-23. It also highlights the difference between what is set apart for God's use and what is dedicated to destruction, demonstrating God's sovereignty and holiness.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can dedicate my resources and talents to God's use, just like the Israelites did with the silver and gold?
- How can I ensure that I am using my possessions and abilities for God's glory, rather than just my own desires?
- What are some areas in my life where I need to surrender control to God and acknowledge that everything belongs to Him?
- In what ways can I reflect the heart of the Israelites in Joshua 6:19, who recognized that all their treasure belonged to God?
