26 Then Joshua had an oath pronounced at that particular time, saying: “Cursed may the man be before Jehovah who gets up and does build this city, even Jerʹi·cho. At the forfeit of his firstborn let him lay the foundation of it, and at the forfeit of his youngest let him put up its doors.”+

34 In his days Hiʹel the Bethʹel·ite built Jerʹi·cho. At the forfeit of A·biʹram his firstborn he laid the foundation of it, and at the forfeit of Seʹgub his youngest he put up its doors, according to Jehovah’s word that he spoke by means of Joshua* the son of Nun.+
