Text -- Joshua 2:16-24 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
2:16 She told them, “Head to the hill country , so the ones chasing you don’t find you. Hide from them there for three days , long enough for those chasing you to return . Then you can be on your way .”
2:17 The men said to her, “We are not bound by this oath you made us swear unless the following conditions are met:
2:18 When we invade the land , tie this red rope in the window through which you let us down , and gather together in your house your father , mother , brothers , and all who live in your father’s house .
2:19 Anyone who leaves your house will be responsible for his own death – we are innocent in that case! But if anyone with you in the house is harmed , we will be responsible .
2:20 If you should report what we’ve been up to, we are not bound by this oath you made us swear .”
2:21 She said , “I agree to these conditions .” She sent them on their way and then tied the red rope in the window .
2:22 They went to the hill country and stayed there for three days , long enough for those chasing them to return . Their pursuers looked all along the way but did not find them.
2:23 Then the two men returned – they came down from the hills , crossed the river, came to Joshua son of Nun , and reported to him all they had discovered .
2:24 They told Joshua , “Surely the Lord is handing over all the land to us! All who live in the land are cringing before us!”
