Joshua 2 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
6 But she made the men to go up into the roof of her house, and covered them with the stalk of flax, which was there.
7 And they that were sent, followed them, the way that leadeth to the ford of Jordan: and they being gone out, the gate forthwith was shut.
Promise to Rahab
8 Neither were they yet asleep that lay hid, and behold the woman went up to them, and said:
9 I know that the Lord hath given this Land to you: for your terror is fallen upon us, & all the inhabitants of the Land are become faint.
10 We have heard that the Lord dried up the water of the Red sea at your entering, when you came out of AEgypt: and what things you did to the two kings of the Amorrhites, that were beyond Jordan, Sehon and Og, whom you slew.
11 And hearing these things we greatly feared, and our heart fainted, neither did there remain spirit in us at your entering in: for the Lord your God he is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath.
12 Now therefore swear to me by the Lord, that as I have done mercy with you, so you also do with my father's house: and you give me a true sign,
13 that you save my father and mother, my brethren and sisters, and all things that be theirs, and deliver our souls from death.
14 Who answered her: Be our lives for you unto death, only if thou betray us not. And when our Lord shall have delivered us the land, we will do in thee mercy and truth.
15 She therefore did let them down by a cord out of a window: for her house joined fast to the wall.
16 And she said to them: Go up to the mountains, lest perhaps they meet you returning: and there, lie hid three days, till they return, and so you shall go on your way.
