Joshua 2:6-16

6But she had broughtH5927 them up to the roofH1406, and hidH2934 them with the stalks of flaxH6593, which she had laid in order upon the roofH1406. 7And the menH376 pursuedH7291 after them the wayH1870 to the JordanH3383 unto the fords: and as soon as they that pursuedH7291 after them were goneH3318 out, they shutH5462 the gateH8179.

8And before they were laidH7901 downH7901, she cameH5927 up unto them upon the roofH1406; 9and she saidH559 unto the menH376, I knowH3045 that Jehovah hath givenH5414 you the landH776, and that the fear of you is fallenH5307 upon us, and that all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 meltH4127 away before you. 10For we have heardH8085 how Jehovah driedH3001 up the waterH4325 of the Red SeaH3220 before you, when ye cameH3318 out of EgyptH4714; and what ye did unto the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, that were beyond the JordanH3383, unto SihonH5511 and to OgH5747, whom ye utterly destroyed. 11And as soon as we had heardH8085 it, our heartsH3824 did meltH4549, neither did there remain any more spiritH7307 in any manH376, because of you: for Jehovah your GodH430, he is GodH430 in heavenH8064 above, and on earthH776 beneath. 12NowH6258 thereforeH6258, I pray you, swearH7650 unto me by Jehovah, since I have dealt kindly with you, that ye alsoH1571 will deal kindly with my father’sH1 houseH1004, and giveH5414 me a true token; 13and that ye will save aliveH2421 my fatherH1, and my motherH517, and my brethren, and my sistersH269, and all that they have, and will deliverH5337 our livesH5315 from deathH4194. 14And the menH376 saidH559 unto her, Our lifeH5315 for yours, if ye utter not this our business; and it shall beH1961, when Jehovah giveth us the landH776, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.

15Then she let them downH3381 by a cordH2256 through the windowH2474: for her houseH1004 was upon the sideH7023 of the wallH2346, and she dweltH3427 upon the wallH2346. 16And she saidH559 unto them, Get you to the mountainH2022, lestH6435 the pursuersH7291 light upon you; and hideH2247 yourselves there threeH7969 daysH3117, until the pursuersH7291 be returnedH7725: and afterward may ye goH7725 your wayH1870.
