Joshua 6:23
And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel. And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.
The verse belongs to the account of Israel marching from Gilgal to overthrow Jericho and conquer the city. The capture of Jericho followed Joshua meeting Christ as Captain of the host of the Lord, who assured him that Jericho with its king and mighty men of valor was given into his hand and gave him instruction for taking the city. Rahab and her household were spared when Jericho fell because Rahab had shown favor to the Lord's messengers. God directed the taking of Jericho, with heavenly and human agencies working together according to His plan.
No human hand touched the city's walls, so the victory gave no grounds for human credit and God alone was to be glorified. The same principle applies to God's work, where human agents have a part to do but the glory belongs to God. The conquest of Jericho teaches that success comes through God's help working with human effort, not through worldly wisdom or skill. Joshua's way of waging war shows that humble trust in God and faithful obedience are essential.
