The burning of the city signifies total judgment and the fulfillment of God's command to devote the city to destruction (<a href="/joshua/6-17.htm">Joshua 6:17</a>). This act of burning is consistent with the ancient Near Eastern practice of herem, or the devotion of things to destruction as an offering to a deity. The destruction of Jericho serves as a warning to other Canaanite cities and demonstrates God's power and faithfulness to Israel. It also prefigures the final judgment and the ultimate victory of God's people over evil.<p><b>However, they put the silver and gold and articles of bronze and iron into the treasury of the LORD’s house.</b><br>This phrase highlights the distinction between what was to be destroyed and what was to be consecrated to God. The valuable metals were spared from destruction and dedicated to the LORD, signifying that the firstfruits of the conquest belonged to Him. This act of dedication is reminiscent of the principle of firstfruits found in the Law (<a href="/exodus/23-19.htm">Exodus 23:19</a>), where the first and best are given to God. The treasury of the LORD's house refers to the tabernacle, the central place of worship for Israel at the time. This dedication underscores the importance of acknowledging God's sovereignty and provision. It also foreshadows the temple treasury, which would later play a significant role in Israel's worship and economy. The act of setting apart these metals can be seen as a type of Christ, who is the ultimate treasure and offering to God, consecrated for the redemption of humanity.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God, led by Joshua, who are executing God's command to conquer Jericho.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/jericho.htm">Jericho</a></b><br>A fortified city in the Promised Land, representing the first major conquest for the Israelites under Joshua's leadership.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/treasury_of_the_lord's_house.htm">Treasury of the LORD’s house</a></b><br>The designated place for storing valuable items dedicated to God, signifying the importance of honoring God with the first fruits of victory.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/o/obedience_to_god's_commands.htm">Obedience to God's Commands</a></b><br>The Israelites' actions demonstrate the importance of complete obedience to God's instructions, even when it involves destruction or sacrifice.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/d/dedication_of_first_fruits.htm">Dedication of First Fruits</a></b><br>The act of placing valuable items in the treasury signifies the principle of dedicating the first fruits of our labor to God, acknowledging His provision and sovereignty.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_in_victory.htm">God's Sovereignty in Victory</a></b><br>The conquest of Jericho illustrates that victory comes from the Lord, and our response should be to honor Him with the spoils of our success.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/h/holiness_and_separation.htm">Holiness and Separation</a></b><br>The destruction of Jericho and the dedication of valuables to God highlight the call to holiness and separation from worldly possessions and influences.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_joshua_6.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Joshua 6</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_did_achan's_sin_cause_israel's_loss.htm">Why did Achan's disobedience lead to Israel's defeat?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_does_jericho's_fall_differ_in_joshua_6.htm">Why does the destruction narrative of Jericho differ from other historical records about the city’s downfall (Joshua 6)? </a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_dove_droppings_worth_5_shekels.htm">Who was Achan and what were the accursed things?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_was_the_curse_of_jericho.htm">What was the Curse of Jericho?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/joshua/6-24.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Then [the Israelites] burned up</span><br /><span class="heb">שָׂרְפ֥וּ</span> <span class="translit">(śā·rə·p̄ū)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb -
