• Josh 2:4-9 : 4 But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them. She said, "Yes, the men came to me, but I didn't know where they were from. 5 At dusk, when it was time to close the city gate, the men left, and I don’t know where they went. Pursue them quickly, and you might catch up with them!" 6 (But she had taken them up to the roof and hidden them under stalks of flax she had arranged there.) 7 The pursuers set out along the road toward the fords of the Jordan, and as soon as they left, the city gate was shut. 8 Before the spies lay down for the night, Rahab went up to the roof 9 and said to them, "I know that the LORD has given you this land and that fear of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you. 10 We have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan, whom you completely destroyed. 11 When we heard of it, our hearts melted, and everyone's courage failed because of you, for the LORD your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below. 12 Now then, please swear to me by the LORD that you will show kindness to my family because I have shown kindness to you. Give me a sure sign 13 that you will spare the lives of my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and that you will save us from death." 14 The men said to her, "Our lives for your lives! If you don't tell what we are doing, we will treat you kindly and faithfully when the LORD gives us the land." 15 Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was part of the city wall, and she lived in the wall. 16 She said to them, "Go to the hill country so the pursuers won’t find you. Hide yourselves there for three days until they return, and then go on your way." 17 The men said to her, "We will be free from this oath you made us swear 18 if, when we enter the land, you have tied this scarlet rope in the window through which you let us down and gathered your family into your house—your father, mother, brothers, and all who belong to you. 19 If anyone leaves the house, their death will be on their own head, and we will not be guilty. But if harm comes to anyone in your house, we will take the blame. 20 But if you reveal this matter of ours, we will be released from the oath you made us swear. 21 She said, "Let it be as you say." So she sent them away, and they departed. Then she tied the scarlet cord in the window. 22 They went to the hill country and stayed there for three days until the pursuers returned. The pursuers searched all along the road but did not find them. 23 Then the two men came down from the hill country, crossed over, and went to Joshua son of Nun. They reported to him all that had happened to them. 24 They said to Joshua, "The LORD has surely given the whole land into our hands; all the inhabitants of the land are melting in fear because of us."
