1 H3091 And Joshua H1121 the son H5126 of Nun H7971 sent H7851 out of Shittim H8147 two H582 men H7270 as spies H2791 secretly, H559 saying, H3212 Go, H7200 view H776 the land, H3405 and Jericho. H3212 And they went H935 and came H802 into the house H2181 of a harlot H8034 whose name H7343 was Rahab, H7901 and lay there.

2 H559 And it was told H4428 the king H3405 of Jericho, H559 saying, H935 Behold, there came H582 men H3915 in hither to-night H1121 of the children H3478 of Israel H2658 to search out H776 the land.

3 H4428 And the king H3405 of Jericho H7971 sent H7343 unto Rahab, H559 saying, H3318 Bring forth H582 the men H935 that are come H935 to thee, that are entered H1004 into thy house; H935 for they are come H2658 to search out H776 all the land.

4 H802 And the woman H3947 took H8147 the two H582 men, H6845 and hid H559 them; and she said, H582 Yea, the men H935 came H3045 unto me, but I knew H370 not whence they were:

5 H5462 and it came to pass about the time of the shutting H8179 of the gate, H2822 when it was dark, H582 that the men H3318 went out; H582 whither the men H1980 went H3045 I know H7291 not: pursue H310 after H4118 them quickly; H5381 for ye will overtake them.

6 H5927 But she had brought them up H1406 to the roof, H2934 and hid H6086 them with the stalks H6593 of flax, H6186 which she had laid in order H1406 upon the roof.

7 H582 And the men H7291 pursued H310 after H1870 them the way H3383 to the Jordan H4569 unto the fords: H7291 and as soon as they that pursued H310 after H3318 them were gone out, H5462 they shut H8179 the gate.

8 H7901 And before they were laid down, H5927 she came up H1406 unto them upon the roof;

9 H559 and she said H582 unto the men, H3045 I know H3068 that Jehovah H5414 hath given H776 you the land, H367 and that the fear H5307 of you is fallen H3427 upon us, and that all the inhabitants H776 of the land H4127 melt H6440 away before you.

10 H8085 For we have heard H3068 how Jehovah H3001 dried up H4325 the water H5488 of the Red H3220 Sea H6440 before you, H3318 when ye came out H4714 of Egypt; H6213 and what ye did H8147 unto the two H4428 kings H567 of the Amorites, H5676 that were beyond H3383 the Jordan, H5511 unto Sihon H5747 and to Og, H2763 whom ye utterly destroyed.

11 H8085 And as soon as we had heard H3824 it, our hearts H4549 did melt, H6965 neither did there remain H7307 any more spirit H376 in any man, H6440 because H3068 of you: for Jehovah H430 your God, H430 he is God H8064 in heaven H4605 above, H776 and on earth beneath.

12 H7650 Now therefore, I pray you, swear H3068 unto me by Jehovah, H3588 since H6213 I have dealt H2617 kindly H6213 with you, that ye also will deal H2617 kindly H1 with my father's H1004 house, H5414 and give H571 me a true H226 token;

13 H2421 and that ye will save alive H1 my father, H517 and my mother, H251 and my brethren, H269 and my sisters, H5337 and all that they have, and will deliver H5315 our lives H4194 from death.

14 H582 And the men H559 said H5315 unto her, Our life H4191 for yours, H5046 if ye utter H1697 not this our business; H3068 and it shall be, when Jehovah H5414 giveth H776 us the land, H6213 that we will deal H2617 kindly H571 and truly with thee.

15 H3381 Then she let them down H2256 by a cord H1157 through H2474 the window: H1004 for her house H7023 was upon the side H2346 of the wall, H3427 and she dwelt H2346 upon the wall.

16 H559 And she said H3212 unto them, Get H2022 you to the mountain, H7291 lest the pursuers H6293 light H2247 upon you; and hide H7969 yourselves there three H3117 days, H7291 until the pursuers H7725 be returned: H310 and afterward H3212 may ye go H1870 your way.

17 H582 And the men H559 said H5355 unto her, We will be guiltless H7621 of this thine oath H7650 which thou hast made us to swear.

18 H935 Behold, when we come H776 into the land, H7194 thou shalt bind H8615 this line H8144 of scarlet H2339 thread H2474 in the window H3381 which thou didst let us down by: H622 and thou shalt gather H1004 unto thee into the house H1 thy father, H517 and thy mother, H251 and thy brethren, H1 and all thy father's H1004 household.

19 H834 And it shall be, that whosoever H3318 shall go out H1817 of the doors H1004 of thy house H2351 into the street, H1818 his blood H7218 shall be upon his head, H5355 and we shall be guiltless: H1004 and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, H1818 his blood H7218 shall be on our head, H3027 if any hand be upon him.

20 H5046 But if thou utter H1697 this our business, H5355 then we shall be guiltless H7621 of thine oath H7650 which thou hast made us to swear.

21 H559 And she said, H1697 According unto your words, H7971 so be it. And she sent them away, H3212 and they departed: H7194 and she bound H8144 the scarlet H8615 line H2474 in the window.

22 H3212 And they went, H935 and came H2022 unto the mountain, H3427 and abode H7969 there three H3117 days, H7291 until the pursuers H7725 were returned: H7291 and the pursuers H1245 sought H1870 them throughout all the way, H4672 but found them not.

23 H8147 Then the two H582 men H7725 returned, H3381 and descended H2022 from the mountain, H5674 and passed over, H935 and came H3091 to Joshua H1121 the son H5126 of Nun; H5608 and they told H4672 him all that had befallen them.

24 H559 And they said H3091 unto Joshua, H3588 Truly H3068 Jehovah H5414 hath delivered H3027 into our hands H776 all the land; H3427 and moreover all the inhabitants H776 of the land H4127 do melt H6440 away before us.
