Deuteronomy 20:10-11

Joshua 2:12-19

12Now then, please swear to me by the Lord that, as I have dealt kindly with you, you also will deal kindly with my father’s house, and bgive me a sure sign 13that you will save alive my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them, and deliver our lives from death.” 14And the men said to her, “Our life for yours even to death! If you do not tell this business of ours, then when the Lord gives us the land cwe will deal kindly and faithfully with you.”

15Then she dlet them down by a rope through the window, for her house was built into the city wall, so that she lived in the wall. 16And she said
Or had said
to them, “Go into the hills, or the pursuers will encounter you, and hide there three days until the pursuers have returned. Then afterward you may go your way.”
17The men said to her, “We will be guiltless with respect to this oath of yours that you have made us swear. 18 fBehold, when we come into the land, you shall tie this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, gand you shall gather into your house your father and mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household. 19Then if anyone goes out of the doors of your house into the street, hhis blood shall be on his own head, and we shall be guiltless. But if a hand is laid on anyone who is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head.

Joshua 6:22-25

22But to the two men who had spied out the land, Joshua said, “Go into the prostitute’s house and bring out from there the woman and all who belong to her, ias you swore to her.” 23So the young men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab and jher father and mother and brothers and all who belonged to her. And they brought all her relatives and put them outside the camp of Israel. 24And they burned the city with fire, and everything in it. kOnly the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord. 25But Rahab the prostitute and her father’s household and all who belonged to her, Joshua saved alive. And lshe has lived in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
