Joshua 2:17-20
17And the men said to her, “ aWe shall be exempt from this oath ▼▼Lit of yours
to you which you have made us swear, 18 ▼▼Lit behold
unless, when we come into the land, you tie this cord of scarlet thread in the window through which you let us down, and dgather into your house your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household. 19And it shall come about that anyone who goes out of the doors of your house outside will have ▼▼I.e., responsibility for his death
his blood on his own head, and we will be innocent; but anyone who is with you in the house, fhis blood will be on our head if a hand is laid on him. 20But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be exempt from the oath which you have made us swear.”
