RACHAB PROTECTS THE SPIES And Yah Shua the son of Nun sends two men from Shittim to spy quietly, saying, Go see the land of Yericho. - and they go, and come to the house of a woman - a whore named Rachab, and lie down there. 2 And it is said to the sovereign of Yericho, saying, Behold, men of the sons of Yisra El came in tonight to explore the land. 3 And the sovereign of Yericho sends to Rachab, saying, Bring the men who came to you who entered your house: for they came to explore all the land. 4 And the woman takes the two men, and hides them, and says thus, Men came to me, but I know not whence: 5 and so be it, at the shutting of the portal, at dark, the men went: where the men went, I know not: pursue after them hastily and overtake them. 6 And she ascends them to the roof; and hides them with the timbers of flax she aligned on the roof: 7 and the men pursue after them the way to Yarden to the passages: and as soon as they pursue them, they shut the portal. 8 And ere they lie down, she ascends to them on the roof; 9 and says to the men, I know Yah Veh gives you the land and that your terror befalls us; and that all the settlers of the land melt at your face: 10 for we hear how Yah Veh withered the water of the Reed sea at your face, in your going from Misrayim; and what you worked to the two sovereigns of the Emoriy on the other side Yarden - Sichon and Og, whom you devoted: 11 we hear and our hearts melt, and no more spirit/wind rises in any man at your face: for Yah Veh your Elohim is Elohim in the heavens above and on the earth below. 12 And now I beseech you, oath to me by Yah Veh, surely I worked you mercy, that you also work mercy to the house of my father, and give me a true sign: 13 that you save alive my father and my mother and my brothers and my sisters and all they have, and rescue our souls from death. 14 And the men say to her, Our soul dies for yours, if you tell not this word; and in giving, when Yah Veh gives us the land, we work mercy and truth with you. 15 Then she descends them by a cord through the window: for her house is on the wall and she settles on the wall. 16 And she says to them, Go to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves three days, until the pursuers return: and afterward go your way. 17 And the men say to her, We are innocent of this your oath which you had us oath. 18 Behold, when we come into the land, bind this cord of scarlet thread in the window whereby you descended us: and gather your father, and your mother, and your brothers, and all the household of your father to your house: 19 and so be it, whoever goes outside the doors of your house, his blood is on his head, and we are innocent: and whoever is in the house with you, if any hand is on him, his blood is on our head: 20 and if you tell this our word, then we are innocent of this oath you had us oath. 21 And she says, According to your words, so be it. and she sends them away and they go; and she binds the scarlet cord in the window. 22 And they go and come to the mountain and settle there three days until the pursuers return: and the pursuers seek them all the way but find them not. 23 So the two men return and descend from the mountain and pass over and come to Yah Shua the son of Nun; and scribe him all they found: 24 and they say to Yah Shua, Surely Yah Veh gives all the land into our hands; for even all the settlers of the land melt at our face.
