• Josh 2:1-9 : 1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out from Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went and entered a prostitute's house, named Rahab, and lodged there. 2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men here tonight from the children of Israel to search out the country. 3 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered your house: for they have come to search out all the country. 4 And the woman took the two men and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I did not know where they were from: 5 And it came to pass about the time of closing the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: where the men went I do not know: pursue after them quickly; for you shall overtake them. 6 But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof. 7 And the men pursued after them the way to the Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they who pursued after them had gone out, they shut the gate. 8 And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof; 9 And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD has given you the land, and that your terror has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you. 10 For 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 unto the two kings of the Amorites, who were on the other side of the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed. 11 And as soon as we heard these things, our hearts melted, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath. 12 Now therefore, I pray, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have shown you kindness, that you will also show kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token: 13 And that you will save my father, and my mother, and my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death. 14 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if you do not reveal this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD has given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you. 15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall. 16 And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers return: and afterward you may go your way. 17 And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this your oath which you have made us swear. 18 Behold, when we come into the land, you shall bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which you let us down by: and you shall bring your father, and your mother, and your brothers, and all your father's household, home unto you. 19 And it shall be, that whoever shall go out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whoever shall be with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him. 20 And if you reveal this our business, then we will be released from your oath which you have made us swear. 21 And she said, According to your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window. 22 And they went, and came unto the mountain, and stayed there three days, until the pursuers returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not. 23 So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell them: 24 And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD has delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.
