RF JOS 2:1 Joshua then sent two men from his Officers with secret instructions, saying; "Go examine the country of Jeriko." So they went and arrived at the house of a woman named Rahab, an innkeeper, and lodged there.
RF JOS 2:2 But it was reported to the King of Jeriko that "men have arrived from the sons of Israel to night to explore the country!"
RF JOS 2:3 The King of Jeriko consequently sent to Rahab to say; "Bring to me the men who have come to your house, for they have come to examine the country."
RF JOS 2:4 But the woman took the two men and hid them, and replied;—" Some men certainly came to me, but I do not know where they came from.
RF JOS 2:5 However, when the gates were shut at dark, the men went away, and I myself do not know where the men went. Go after them quickly, so as to catch them!"
RF JOS 2:6 She had, however, taken them up to the roof, and covered them over with cotton she had stored there upon the roof.
RF JOS 2:7 The messengers accordingly pursued after them towards the Jordan, to the fords, and the gates were shut after them as soon as they went out in pursuit.
RF JOS 2:8 But they were in hiding. She then went up to the roof to them,
RF JOS 2:9 and said to the men, "I know that the EVER-LIVING will give this country to you, because a terror has fallen upon us, and all the population of the land will melt away before you,
RF JOS 2:10 for we have heard how the EVER-LIVING caused the waters of the Red Sea to dry up when you came out from the Mitzeraim, and what you have done to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, how you gave them to destruction.
RF JOS 2:11 We have heard these things and our hearts melt, and the spirit of a man will never rise against you, for your EVER-LIVING GOD is GOD in heaven above, and on the earth beneath.
RF JOS 2:12 Therefore now listen, I pray, to me. When the EVER-LIVING shows favour to you, you also show favour to my father's family, and give me a pledge of your truth
RF JOS 2:13 that you will preserve the lives of my father and mother, and my brothers and sisters, and all belonging to them, from death."
RF JOS 2:14 The men therefore said to her, "May our lives sink in death if we do not keep this promise! if when the EVER-LIVING gives us the country we do not act fair and true to you!"
RF JOS 2:15 She then let them down by a rope from the window, for her house was on the wall of the fortifications, and she lived on the wall.
RF JOS 2:16 Then she said to them," Go to the hills, for fear your pursuers should meet you; and conceal yourselves for three days until the pursuers return; and after that go your own way."
RF JOS 2:17 The men also replied to her, We will stand by the oath we have sworn to you.
RF JOS 2:18 When we arrive at this country, tie this scarlet cord to your window which we are going through, and collect your father and mother, and brothers, and all your father's family with you into the house,
RF JOS 2:19 and it shall be that all who come outside the doors of your house,—his blood shall be upon his own head; for all who are in your house, their blood be upon our heads if a hand touches them.
RF JOS 2:20 And if you attend to this instruction we will stand by the oath we have sworn."
RF JOS 2:21 She accordingly answered, "It shall be as you say." So she dismissed them, and they went; and she tied the scarlet cord to the window.
RF JOS 2:22 So they proceeded and arrived at the hills, and stayed there three days, until the return of the pursuers, who sought them in all the roads but found them not.
RF JOS 2:23 Then the two men descended from the hills, and crossed the fords and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and reported to him all these events. And said to Joshua,
RF JOS 2:24 "The EVER-LIVING will give all the country to our hands, and will also dissolve the whole of the population of the land before us."
