Joshua 2:12-19
12Now thereforeH6258, pleaseH4994 swearH7650 to me by the LORDH3068 that youH859 will indeedH1571 showH6213 kindnessH2617 toH5973 my familyH1004H1, becauseH3588 I showedH6213 kindnessH2617 to youH5973. GiveH5414 me a sureH571 signH226 13that you will spare the livesH2421 of my fatherH1 andH853 motherH517, my brothersH251 andH853 sistersH269, and allH3605 who belongH834 to them, and that you will deliverH5337 usH5315 from deathH4194.”
14“Our livesH5315 for yourH8478 livesH4191!” the menH582 agreedH559. “IfH518 you do notH3808 reportH5046 our missionH1697H2088H1961, we will showH6213 youH5973 kindnessH2617 and faithfulnessH571 when the LORDH3068 givesH5414 us the landH776.”
15Then Rahab let them downH3381 by a ropeH2256 throughH1157 the windowH2474, sinceH3588 the houseH1004 where sheH1931 livedH3427 was built into the wallH7023 of the cityH2346. 16“GoH1980 to the hill countryH2022,” she saidH559, “so that your pursuersH7291 will notH6435 findH6293 you. Hide yourselvesH2247 thereH8033 for threeH7969 daysH3117 untilH5704 theyH7291 have returnedH7725; thenH310 goH1980 on your wayH1870.”
17The menH582 saidH559 to herH413, “WeH587 will not be boundH5355 by thisH2088 oathH7621 you made us swearH7650 18unlessH2009, when weH587 enterH935 the landH776, you have tiedH7194 thisH2088 scarletH8144 cordH8615H2339 in the windowH2474 through whichH834 you let us downH3381, and unlessH853 you have broughtH622H413 your fatherH1 andH853 motherH517 andH853 brothersH251 and allH3605 your familyH1H1004 into your houseH1004. 19If anyoneH3605 goes outH3318 the doorH1817 of your houseH1004 into the streetH2351, his bloodH1818 will be on his own headH7218, and weH587 will be innocentH5355. But ifH518 a handH3027 is laidH1961 on anyoneH3605 with youH854 in the houseH1004H1961, his bloodH1818 will be on our headsH7218.
