Joshua 2:12

2:12 So now, promise me this with an oath sworn in the Lord’s name. 1  Because I have shown allegiance to you, show allegiance to my family. 2  Give me a solemn pledge 3 

Joshua 2:17

2:17 The men said to her, “We are not bound by this oath you made us swear unless the following conditions are met: 4 

1 tn Heb “Now, swear to me by the Lord.”

2 tn Heb “with the house of my father.”

3 tn Heb “true sign,” that is, “an inviolable token or pledge.”

4 tn Heb “We are free from this oath of yours which you made us swear.” The words “unless the following conditions are met” are not in the Hebrew text, but are added for clarification.
