Joshua 2:6-16

6But she had brought them upH5927 to the roofH1406 of the house, and hidH2934 them with the stalksH6086 of flaxH6593, which she had laid in orderH6186 upon the roofH1406. 7And the menH582 pursuedH7291 afterH310 them the wayH1870 to JordanH3383 unto the fordsH4569: and as soon as they which pursuedH7291 afterH310 them were gone outH3318, they shutH5462 the gateH8179.

8And before they were laid downH7901, she came upH5927 unto them upon the roofH1406; 9And she saidH559 unto the menH582, I knowH3045 that YhwhH3068 hath givenH5414 you the landH776, and that your terrorH367 is fallenH5307 upon us, and that all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 faintH4127 becauseH6440 of you.1 10For we have heardH8085 how YhwhH3068 dried upH3001 the waterH4325 of the RedH5488 seaH3220 for youH6440, when ye came outH3318 of EgyptH4714; and what ye didH6213 unto the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, that were on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383, SihonH5511 and OgH5747, whom ye utterly destroyedH2763. 11And as soon as we had heardH8085 these things, our heartsH3824 did meltH4549, neither did there remainH6965 any more courageH7307 in any manH376, becauseH6440 of you: for YhwhH3068 your GodH430, he is GodH430 in heavenH8064 aboveH4605, and in earthH776 beneath.2 12Now therefore, I pray you, swearH7650 unto me by YhwhH3068, sinceH3588 I have shewedH6213 you kindnessH2617, that ye will also shewH6213 kindnessH2617 unto my father’sH1 houseH1004, and giveH5414 me a trueH571 tokenH226: 13And that ye will save aliveH2421 my fatherH1, and my motherH517, and my brethrenH251, and my sistersH269, and all that they have, and deliverH5337 our livesH5315 from deathH4194. 14And the menH582 answeredH559 her, Our lifeH5315 for yoursH4191, if ye utterH5046 not this our businessH1697. And it shall be, when YhwhH3068 hath givenH5414 us the landH776, that we will dealH6213 kindlyH2617 and trulyH571 with thee.3 15Then she let them downH3381 by a cordH2256 throughH1157 the windowH2474: for her houseH1004 was upon the townH7023 wallH2346, and she dweltH3427 upon the wallH2346. 16And she saidH559 unto them, GetH3212 you to the mountainH2022, lest the pursuersH7291 meetH6293 you; and hideH2247 yourselves there threeH7969 daysH3117, until the pursuersH7291 be returnedH7725: and afterwardH310 may ye goH3212 your wayH1870.
