The call to holiness is one wherein we are called to deny ourselves, that is to die to self, and those interests and former habits that run contrary to the will and righteousness of God for us - to glorify and enjoy Him, and to also live unto righteousness, which is to seek have the will and righteousness of God nurtured in us, that we might walk faithfully with our Creator and Redeemer. Israel was to learn devotion and practice obedience and to the Lord, yet upon the occasion of their great victory over Jericho the nation was punished, corporately because they had not obeyed the voice of the Lord (7:1). Israel learns through judgment that you cannot devote yourself to that which God has devoted to destruction, and you cannot take for yourself that which belongs to the Lord, and live. Rather, consecrate yourselves to the Lord, and you will delight in His covenant blessings.
