And Joshua
the son
of Nun
sent
out of Shittim
two
men
to spy
secretly,
saying,
Go
view
the land,
even Jericho.
And they went,
and came
into an harlot's
house,
named
Rahab,
and lodged
there.

And it was told
the king
of Jericho,
saying,
Behold, there came
men
in hither to night
of the children
of Israel
to search out
the country.
And the king
of Jericho
sent
unto Rahab,
saying,
Bring forth
the men
that are come
to thee, which are entered
into thine house:
for they be come
to search out
all the country.

And the woman
took
the two
men,
and hid
them, and said
thus, There came
men
unto me, but I wist
not whence
they were:
And it came to pass about the time of shutting
of the gate,
when it was dark,
that the men
went out:
whither the men
went
I wot
not: pursue
after
them quickly;
for ye shall overtake
them.
But she had brought them up
to the roof
of the house, and hid
them with the stalks
of flax,
which she had laid in order
upon the roof.
And the men
pursued
after
them the way
to Jordan
unto the fords:
and as soon as they which pursued
after
them were gone out,
they shut
the gate.

And before they were laid down,
she came up
unto them upon the roof;
And she said
unto the men,
I know
that the LORD
hath given
you the land,
and that your terror
is fallen
upon us, and that all the inhabitants
of the land
faint
because
of you.
For we have heard
how the LORD
dried up
the water
of the Red
sea
for you,
when ye came out
of Egypt;
and what ye did
unto the two
kings
of the Amorites,
that were on the other side
Jordan,
Sihon
and Og,
whom ye utterly destroyed.

And as soon as we had heard
these things, our hearts
did melt,
neither did there remain
any more courage
in any man,
because
of you: for the LORD
your God,
he is God
in heaven
above,
and in earth
beneath.
Now therefore, I pray you, swear
unto me by the LORD,
since
I have shewed
you kindness,
that ye will also shew
kindness
unto my father's
house,
and give
me a true
token:
And that ye will save alive
my father,
and my mother,
and my brethren,
and my sisters,
and all that they have, and deliver
our lives
from death.
And the men
answered
her, Our life
for yours,
if ye utter
not this our business.
And it shall be, when the LORD
hath given
us the land,
that we will deal
kindly
and truly
with thee.

Then she let them down
by a cord
through
the window:
for her house
was upon the town
wall,
and she dwelt
upon the wall.
And she said
unto them, Get
you to the mountain,
lest the pursuers
meet
you; and hide
yourselves there three
days,
until the pursuers
be returned:
and afterward
may ye go
your way.

And the men
said
unto her, We will be blameless
of this thine oath
which thou hast made us swear.
Behold, when we come
into the land,
thou shalt bind
this line
of scarlet
thread
in the window
which thou didst let us down by:
and thou shalt bring
thy father,
and thy mother,
and thy brethren,
and all thy father's
household,
home
unto thee.

And it shall be, that whosoever
shall go out
of the doors
of thy house
into the street,
his blood
shall be upon his head,
and we will be guiltless:
and whosoever shall be with thee in the house,
his blood
shall be on our head,
if any hand
be upon him.
And if thou utter
this our business,
then we will be quit
of thine oath
which thou hast made us to swear.
And she said,
According unto your words,
so be it. And she sent them away,
and they departed:
and she bound
the scarlet
line
in the window.
And they went,
and came
unto the mountain,
and abode
there three
days,
until the pursuers
were returned:
and the pursuers
sought
them throughout all the way,
but found
them not.
So the two
men
returned,
and descended
from the mountain,
and passed over,
and came
to Joshua
the son
of Nun,
and told
him all things that befell
them:

And they said
unto Joshua,
Truly
the LORD
hath delivered
into our hands
all the land;
for even all the inhabitants
of the country
do faint
because
of us.
