Joshua 2:17
Jos 2:17 In conclusion, the spies guarded against any arbitrary interpretation and application of their oath, by imposing three conditions, on the non-fulfilment of which they would be released from their oath. הזּה for הזּאת is to be explained in Jos 2:17 from the fact that the gender is often disregarded in the use of the pronoun (see Ewald, §183, a.), and in Jos 2:18 from the fact that there the gender is determined by the nomen rectum (see Ewald, §317, d.).
