Joshua 2:12-19

Thomson(i) 12 swear now to me by the Lord your God, because I shew mercy to you, that you will shew mercy to my father's house; 13 and that you will save alive my father's household, my mother, and my brothers, and all my family, and all that belong to them, and that you will deliver my soul from death. 14 And the men said to her, Our life for yours even to death. Then she said to them. When the Lord delivereth up to you this city, you will deal mercifully and truly with me. 15 So she lowered them down through a window. 16 Now she said to them, Flee to the mountains, lest the pursuers meet you, and hide yourself there three days, until they who are in pursuit of you have returned, and afterwards you may go your way. 17 And the men said to her, We are sincere in the oath which we have sworn to thee. 18 Behold when we enter any part of the city, thou shalt put up this signal; Thou shalt tye this scarlet rope to the window, through which thou shalt have let us down; and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brothers, and all thy father's household, home to thy house. 19 And it shall be that whoever goeth out of the door of thy house, into the street, shall incur the guilt of his own death, and we shall be clear of blame in regard to this oath which we have sworn to thee. But for all who are with thee in the house we will be answerable.
