Joshua 2:6-16
6(ButH1931 Rahab had taken them upH5927 to the roofH1406 and hidden themH2934 among the stalksH6086 of flaxH6593 that she had laid outH6186 there.)
7So the king’s menH582 set out in pursuitH7291 of the spies along the roadH1870 toH5921 the fordsH4569 of the JordanH3383, and asH834 soon as theyH3318 had gone outH7291H310, the gateH8179 was shutH5462H310.
8BeforeH2962 the spies lay down for the nightH7901, Rahab went upH5927 onH5921 the roofH1406 9and saidH559 to themH413H582, “I knowH3045 thatH3588 the LORDH3068 has givenH5414 you this landH776 and thatH3588 the fear of youH367 has fallenH5307 on usH5921, so thatH3588 allH3605 who dwellH3427 in the landH776 are melting in fearH4127 of youH6440. 10ForH3588 we have heardH8085 howH834 the LORDH3068 dried upH3001 the watersH4325 of the RedH5488 SeaH32201 before youH6440 when you came outH3318 of EgyptH4714, and whatH834 you didH6213 to SihonH5511 and OgH5747, the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567 acrossH5676 the JordanH3383, whomH834 you devoted to destructionH2763.2 11When we heard thisH8085, our heartsH3824 meltedH4549 and everyone’sH376 courageH7307 failedH3808H6965H5750 because of youH6440, forH3588 the LORDH3068 your GodH430H1931 is GodH430 in the heavensH8064 aboveH4605 and onH5921 the earthH776 belowH8478.
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.”
