Joshua 2

1And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 sentH7971 outH4480 of ShittimH7851 twoH8147 menH376 as spiesH7270 secretlyH2791, sayingH559, GoH935 viewH7200 the landH776, and JerichoH3405. And they wentH935, and cameH935 intoH935 the houseH1004 of an harlotH2181 whoseH1121 nameH8034 was RahabH7343, and layH7901 there. 2And it was toldH559 the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405, sayingH559, BeholdH2009, there cameH935 menH376 in hither to-night of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 to searchH2658 outH2658 the landH776. 3And the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405 sentH7971 unto RahabH7343, sayingH559, BringH935 forthH3318 the menH376 that are comeH935 to thee, whichH834 are enteredH935 intoH413 thine houseH1004: for they be comeH935 to searchH2658 outH3318 allH3605 the landH776. 4And the womanH802 tookH3947 the twoH8147 menH376, and hidH6845 them; and sheH3808 saidH559, Yea, the menH376 cameH935 unto meH413, but I wist notH3808 whence they were: 5and it cameH1961 to passH1961 aboutH1961 the time of the shutting of the gateH8179, when it was darkH2822, that the menH376 wentH1980 outH3318: whither the menH376 wentH1980 I wot notH3808: pursueH7291 afterH310 them quicklyH4118; for ye shall overtakeH5381 them. 6But sheH1931 had broughtH5927 them upH5927 to the roofH1406, and hidH2934 them with the stalksH6086 of flaxH6593, whichH1931 sheH1931 had laidH2934 in order uponH5921 the roofH1406. 7And the menH376 pursuedH7291 afterH310 them the wayH1870 to JordanH3383 unto the fords: and as soon as they whichH834 pursuedH7291 afterH310 them were goneH3318 outH3318, they shutH5462 the gateH8179. 8And beforeH2962 they were laidH7901 downH7901, sheH1931 cameH5927 upH5927 unto them uponH5921 the roofH1406; 9and sheH3588 saidH559 unto the menH376, I knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 youH3588 the landH776, and that your terrorH367 is fallenH5307 uponH5921 usH5414, and that allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 meltH4127 awayH5307 beforeH6440 youH3588. 10For weH3588 have heardH8085 howH834 the LORDH3068 driedH3001 upH3001 the waterH4325 of the Red SeaH3220 beforeH6440 youH834, when ye cameH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714; and whatH834 ye didH6213 unto the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, that were beyondH5676 JordanH3383, unto SihonH5511 and to OgH5747, whomH834 ye utterly destroyed. 11And as soonH3588 as weH3588 had heardH8085 it, our heartsH3824 didH3808 meltH4549, neitherH3808 didH3808 there remainH3808 anyH376 moreH5750 spiritH7307 in anyH376 manH376, becauseH3588 of youH3588: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430, he is GodH430 in heavenH8064 aboveH5921, and on earthH776 beneathH8478. 12NowH6258 therefore, I prayH4994 youH859, swearH7650 unto meH5414 by the LORDH3068, sinceH3588 I have dealt kindly with youH859, that ye also will dealH6213 kindly with my father’sH1 houseH1004, and giveH5414 meH5414 a trueH571 token: 13and that ye will saveH5315 aliveH2421 my fatherH1, and my motherH517, and my brethrenH251, and my sistersH269, and allH3605 that they have, and will deliverH5337 our livesH5315 from deathH4194. 14And the menH376 saidH559 unto herH5046, Our lifeH5315 for yoursH5414, ifH518 ye utterH5414 notH3808 this our businessH1697; and it shall be, when the LORDH3068 giveth usH5414 the landH776, that weH518 will dealH6213 kindly and trulyH571 with thee. 15Then sheH1931 letH3381 them downH3381 by a cordH2256 throughH1157 the windowH2474: for herH3381 houseH1004 was uponH3381 the town wallH2346, and sheH1931 dweltH3427 uponH3381 the wallH2346. 16And sheH310 saidH559 unto them, GetH7725 youH3117 to the mountainH2022, lestH6435 the pursuersH7291 light uponH6293 youH3117; and hideH2247 yourselves there threeH7969 daysH3117, untilH5704 the pursuersH7291 be returnedH7725: and afterwardH310 may ye goH7725 your wayH1870. 17And the menH376 saidH559 unto herH413, WeH587 will be guiltless of this thine oathH7621 whichH834 thou hast madeH7650 usH413 to swearH7650. 18BeholdH2009, when weH587 comeH935 intoH413 the landH776, thou shalt bindH7194 this lineH935 of scarletH8144 threadH2339 in the windowH2474 whichH834 thou didst letH3381 usH413 downH3381 by: and thou shalt gatherH622 unto thee intoH413 the houseH1004 thy fatherH1, and thy motherH517, and thy brethrenH251, and allH3605 thy father’sH1 householdH1004. 19And it shall be, that whosoever shall goH3318 outH3318 of the doorsH1817 of thy houseH1004 intoH3027 the streetH2351, his bloodH1818 shall be uponH1961 his headH7218, and weH587 will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the houseH1004, his bloodH1818 shall be on our headH7218, ifH518 anyH3605 handH3027 be uponH1961 him. 20But ifH518 thou utter this our businessH1697, then weH834 will be guiltless of thine oathH7621 whichH834 thou hast madeH7650 usH5046 to swearH7650. 21And sheH1931 saidH559, According unto your wordsH1697, soH3651 be it. And sheH1931 sentH7971 them awayH7971, and they departed: and sheH1931 boundH7194 the scarletH8144 line in the windowH2474. 22And they wentH935, and cameH935 unto the mountainH2022, and abodeH3427 there threeH7969 daysH3117, untilH5704 the pursuersH7291 were returnedH7725: and the pursuersH7291 soughtH1245 them throughoutH3605 allH3605 the wayH1870, but foundH4672 them notH3808. 23Then the twoH8147 menH376 returnedH7725, and descendedH3381 from the mountainH2022, and passedH5674 over, and cameH935 to JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126; and they toldH5608 him allH3605 that had befallenH4672 them. 24And they saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, TrulyH3588 the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 intoH413 our handsH3027 allH3605 the landH776; and moreoverH1571 allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 doH3027 meltH4127 awayH4127 beforeH6440 usH5414.
