Joshua 2

1And Joshua^H3091 the son^H1121 of Nun^H5126 sent^H7971 out of Shittim^H7851 two^H8147 men^H582 as spies^H7270 secretly^H2791, saying^H559, Go^H3212, view^H7200 the land^H776, and Jericho^H3405. And they went^H3212 and came^H935 into the house^H802 of a harlot^H2181 whose name^H8034 was Rahab^H7343, and lay^H7901 there. 2And it was told^H559 the king^H4428 of Jericho^H3405, saying^H559, Behold, there came^H935 men^H582 in hither to-night^H3915 of the children^H1121 of Israel^H3478 to search out^H2658 the land^H776. 3And the king^H4428 of Jericho^H3405 sent^H7971 unto Rahab^H7343, saying^H559, Bring forth^H3318 the men^H582 that are come^H935 to thee, that are entered^H935 into thy house^H1004; for they are come^H935 to search out^H2658 all the land^H776. 4And the woman^H802 took^H3947 the two^H8147 men^H582, and hid^H6845 them; and she said^H559, Yea, the men^H582 came^H935 unto me, but I knew^H3045 not whence^H370 they were: 5and it came to pass about the time of the shutting^H5462 of the gate^H8179, when it was dark^H2822, that the men^H582 went out^H3318; whither the men^H582 went^H1980 I know^H3045 not: pursue^H7291 after^H310 them quickly^H4118; for ye will overtake^H5381 them. 6But she had brought them up^H5927 to the roof^H1406, and hid^H2934 them with the stalks^H6086 of flax^H6593, which she had laid in order^H6186 upon the roof^H1406. 7And the men^H582 pursued^H7291 after^H310 them the way^H1870 to the Jordan^H3383 unto the fords^H4569: and as soon as they that pursued^H7291 after^H310 them were gone out^H3318, they shut^H5462 the gate^H8179. 8And before they were laid down^H7901, she came up^H5927 unto them upon the roof^H1406; 9and she said^H559 unto the men^H582, I know^H3045 that Jehovah^H3068 hath given^H5414 you the land^H776, and that the fear^H367 of you is fallen^H5307 upon us, and that all the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H776 melt^H4127 away before^H6440 you. 10For we have heard^H8085 how Jehovah^H3068 dried up^H3001 the water^H4325 of the Red^H5488 Sea^H3220 before you^H6440, when ye came out^H3318 of Egypt^H4714; and what ye did^H6213 unto the two^H8147 kings^H4428 of the Amorites^H567, that were beyond^H5676 the Jordan^H3383, unto Sihon^H5511 and to Og^H5747, whom ye utterly destroyed^H2763. 11And as soon as we had heard^H8085 it, our hearts^H3824 did melt^H4549, neither did there remain^H6965 any more spirit^H7307 in any man^H376, because^H6440 of you: for Jehovah^H3068 your God^H430, he is God^H430 in heaven^H8064 above^H4605, and on earth^H776 beneath. 12Now therefore, I pray you, swear^H7650 unto me by Jehovah^H3068, since^H3588 I have dealt^H6213 kindly^H2617 with you, that ye also will deal^H6213 kindly^H2617 with my father's^H1 house^H1004, and give^H5414 me a true^H571 token^H226; 13and that ye will save alive^H2421 my father^H1, and my mother^H517, and my brethren^H251, and my sisters^H269, and all that they have, and will deliver^H5337 our lives^H5315 from death^H4194. 14And the men^H582 said^H559 unto her, Our life^H5315 for yours^H4191, if ye utter^H5046 not this our business^H1697; and it shall be, when Jehovah^H3068 giveth^H5414 us the land^H776, that we will deal^H6213 kindly^H2617 and truly^H571 with thee. 15Then she let them down^H3381 by a cord^H2256 through^H1157 the window^H2474: for her house^H1004 was upon the side^H7023 of the wall^H2346, and she dwelt^H3427 upon the wall^H2346. 16And she said^H559 unto them, Get^H3212 you to the mountain^H2022, lest the pursuers^H7291 light^H6293 upon you; and hide^H2247 yourselves there three^H7969 days^H3117, until the pursuers^H7291 be returned^H7725: and afterward^H310 may ye go^H3212 your way^H1870. 17And the men^H582 said^H559 unto her, We will be guiltless^H5355 of this thine oath^H7621 which thou hast made us to swear^H7650. 18Behold, when we come^H935 into the land^H776, thou shalt bind^H7194 this line^H8615 of scarlet^H8144 thread^H2339 in the window^H2474 which thou didst let us down by^H3381: and thou shalt gather^H622 unto thee into the house^H1004 thy father^H1, and thy mother^H517, and thy brethren^H251, and all thy father's^H1 household^H1004. 19And it shall be, that whosoever^H834 shall go out^H3318 of the doors^H1817 of thy house^H1004 into the street^H2351, his blood^H1818 shall be upon his head^H7218, and we shall be guiltless^H5355: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house^H1004, his blood^H1818 shall be on our head^H7218, if any hand^H3027 be upon him. 20But if thou utter^H5046 this our business^H1697, then we shall be guiltless^H5355 of thine oath^H7621 which thou hast made us to swear^H7650. 21And she said^H559, According unto your words^H1697, so be it. And she sent them away^H7971, and they departed^H3212: and she bound^H7194 the scarlet^H8144 line^H8615 in the window^H2474. 22And they went^H3212, and came^H935 unto the mountain^H2022, and abode^H3427 there three^H7969 days^H3117, until the pursuers^H7291 were returned^H7725: and the pursuers^H7291 sought^H1245 them throughout all the way^H1870, but found^H4672 them not. 23Then the two^H8147 men^H582 returned^H7725, and descended^H3381 from the mountain^H2022, and passed over^H5674, and came^H935 to Joshua^H3091 the son^H1121 of Nun^H5126; and they told^H5608 him all that had befallen^H4672 them. 24And they said^H559 unto Joshua^H3091, Truly^H3588 Jehovah^H3068 hath delivered^H5414 into our hands^H3027 all the land^H776; and moreover all the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H776 do melt^H4127 away before^H6440 us.
