Joshua 2:8-13

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.”
