Joshua 2:1 And Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun5126 sent7971 out of Shittim7851 two8147 men582 to spy7270 secretly,2791 saying,559 Go3212 view7200 the land,776 even Jericho.3405 And they went,3212 and came935 into an harlot's2181 house,8021004 named8034 Rahab,7343 and lodged7901{Heb. lay} there.
2 And it was told559 the king4428 of Jericho,3405 saying,559 Behold, there came935 men582 in hither to night3915 of the children1121 of Israel3478 to search out2658 the country.7763 And the king4428 of Jericho3405 sent7971 unto Rahab,7343 saying,559 Bring forth3318 the men582 that are come935 to thee, which are entered935 into thine house:1004 for they be come935 to search out2658 all the country.7764 And the woman802 took3947 the two8147 men,582 and hid6845 them, and said559 thus, There came935 men582 unto me, but I wist3045 not whence370 they were:5 And it came to pass aboutthetime of shutting5462 of the gate,8179 when it was dark,2822 that the men582 went out:3318 whither the men582 went1980 I wot3045 not: pursue7291 after310 them quickly;4118 for ye shall overtake5381 them.
6 But she had brought them up5927 to the roof1406 of the house, and hid2934 them with the stalks6086 of flax,6593 which she had laid in order6186 upon the roof.14067 And the men582 pursued7291 after310 them the way1870 to Jordan3383 unto the fords:4569 and as soon as they which pursued7291 after310 them were gone out,3318 they shut5462 the gate.8179
Joshua 2:8 And before they were laid down,7901 she came up5927 unto them upon the roof;14069 And she said559 unto the men,582 I know3045 that the LORD3068 hath given5414 you the land,776 and that your terror367 is fallen5307 upon us, and that all the inhabitants3427 of the land776 faint4127{Heb. melt} because6440 of you.
10 For we have heard8085 how the LORD3068 dried up3001 the water4325 of the Red5488 sea3220 for you,6440 when ye came out3318 of Egypt;4714 and what ye did6213 unto the two8147 kings4428 of the Amorites,567 that were on the other side5676 Jordan,3383 Sihon5511 and Og,5747 whom ye utterly destroyed.276311 And as soon as we had heard8085thesethings, our hearts3824 did melt,4549 neither did there remain6965{rose up} any more courage7307 in any man,376 because6440 of you: for the LORD3068 your God,430 he is God430 in heaven8064 above,4605 and in earth776 beneath.
12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear7650 unto me by the LORD,3068 since3588 I have shewed6213 you kindness,2617 that ye will also shew6213 kindness2617 unto my father's1 house,1004 and give5414 me a true571 token:22613 And that ye will save alive2421 my father,1 and my mother,517 and my brethren,251 and my sisters,269 and all that they have, and deliver5337 our lives5315 from death.419414 And the men582 answered559 her, Our life5315 for yours,4191{Heb. instead of you to die} if ye utter5046 not this our business.1697 And it shall be, when the LORD3068 hath given5414 us the land,776 that we will deal6213 kindly2617 and truly571 with thee.
Joshua 2:15 Then she let them down3381 by a cord2256 through1157 the window:2474 for her house1004was upon the town7023 wall,2346 and she dwelt3427 upon the wall.234616 And she said559 unto them, Get3212 you to the mountain,2022 lest the pursuers7291 meet6293 you; and hide2247 yourselves there three7969 days,3117 until the pursuers7291 be returned:7725 and afterward310 may ye go3212 your way.187017 And the men582 said559 unto her, We willbe blameless5355 of this thine oath7621 which thou hast made us swear.765018 Behold, when we come935 into the land,776 thou shalt bind7194 this line8615 of scarlet8144 thread2339 in the window2474 which thou didst let us down by:3381 and thou shalt bring622{Heb. gather} thy father,1 and thy mother,517 and thy brethren,251 and all thy father's1 household,1004 home1004 unto thee.
19 And it shall be, that whosoever834 shall go out3318 of the doors1817 of thy house1004 into the street,2351 his blood1818shallbe upon his head,7218 and we willbe guiltless:5355 and whosoever shall be with thee in the house,1004 his blood1818shallbe on our head,7218 if any hand3027 be upon him.
20 And if thou utter5046 this our business,1697 then we will be quit5355 of thine oath7621 which thou hast made us to swear.765021 And she said,559 According unto your words,1697 so be it. And she sent them away,7971 and they departed:3212 and she bound7194 the scarlet8144 line8615 in the window.2474
Joshua 2:22 And they went,3212 and came935 unto the mountain,2022 and abode3427 there three7969 days,3117 until the pursuers7291 were returned:7725 and the pursuers7291 sought1245them throughout all the way,1870 but found4672them not.
23 So the two8147 men582 returned,7725 and descended3381 from the mountain,2022 and passed over,5674 and came935 to Joshua3091 the son1121 of Nun,5126 and told5608 him all things that befell4672 them:
24 And they said559 unto Joshua,3091 Truly3588 the LORD3068 hath delivered5414 into our hands3027 all the land;776 for even all the inhabitants3427 of the country776 do faint4127{Heb. melt} because6440 of us.
