Joshua 2:1-16

2:1

And Joshua
<03091>

the son
<01121>

of Nun
<05126>

sent
<07971> (8799)

out of Shittim
<07851>

two
<08147>

men
<0582>

to spy
<07270> (8764)

secretly
<02791>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

view
<07200> (8798)

the land
<0776>_,

even Jericho
<03405>_.

And they went
<03212> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

into an harlot's
<02181> (8802)

house
<0802> <01004>_,

named
<08034>

Rahab
<07343>_,

and lodged
<07901> (8799)

there. {sent: or, had sent} {lodged: Heb. lay}

2:2

And it was told
<0559> (8735)

the king
<04428>

of Jericho
<03405>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold, there came
<0935> (8804)

men
<0582>

in hither to night
<03915>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

to search out
<02658> (8800)

the country
<0776>_.

2:3

And the king
<04428>

of Jericho
<03405>

sent
<07971> (8799)

unto Rahab
<07343>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Bring forth
<03318> (8685)

the men
<0582>

that are come
<0935> (8802)

to thee, which are entered
<0935> (8804)

into thine house
<01004>_:

for they be come
<0935> (8804)

to search out
<02658> (8800)

all the country
<0776>_.

2:4

And the woman
<0802>

took
<03947> (8799)

the two
<08147>

men
<0582>_,

and hid
<06845> (8799)

them, and said
<0559> (8799)

thus, There came
<0935> (8804)

men
<0582>

unto me, but I wist
<03045> (8804)

not whence
<0370>

they [were]:

2:5

And it came to pass [about the time] of shutting
<05462> (8800)

of the gate
<08179>_,

when it was dark
<02822>_,

that the men
<0582>

went out
<03318> (8804)_:

whither the men
<0582>

went
<01980> (8804)

I wot
<03045> (8804)

not: pursue
<07291> (8798)

after
<0310>

them quickly
<04118>_;

for ye shall overtake
<05381> (8686)

them.

2:6

But she had brought them up
<05927> (8689)

to the roof
<01406>

of the house, and hid
<02934> (8799)

them with the stalks
<06086>

of flax
<06593>_,

which she had laid in order
<06186> (8803)

upon the roof
<01406>_.

2:7

And the men
<0582>

pursued
<07291> (8804)

after
<0310>

them the way
<01870>

to Jordan
<03383>

unto the fords
<04569>_:

and as soon as they which pursued
<07291> (8802)

after
<0310>

them were gone out
<03318> (8804)_,

they shut
<05462> (8804)

the gate
<08179>_.

2:8

And before they were laid down
<07901> (8799)_,

she came up
<05927> (8804)

unto them upon the roof
<01406>_;

2:9

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto the men
<0582>_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

that the LORD
<03068>

hath given
<05414> (8804)

you the land
<0776>_,

and that your terror
<0367>

is fallen
<05307> (8804)

upon us, and that all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>

faint
<04127> (8738)

because
<06440>

of you. {faint: Heb. melt}

2:10

For we have heard
<08085> (8804)

how the LORD
<03068>

dried up
<03001> (8689)

the water
<04325>

of the Red
<05488>

sea
<03220>

for you
<06440>_,

when ye came out
<03318> (8800)

of Egypt
<04714>_;

and what ye did
<06213> (8804)

unto the two
<08147>

kings
<04428>

of the Amorites
<0567>_,

that [were] on the other side
<05676>

Jordan
<03383>_,

Sihon
<05511>

and Og
<05747>_,

whom ye utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)_.

2:11

And as soon as we had heard
<08085> (8799)

[these things], our hearts
<03824>

did melt
<04549> (8735)_,

neither did there remain
<06965> (8804)

any more courage
<07307>

in any man
<0376>_,

because
<06440>

of you: for the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

he [is] God
<0430>

in heaven
<08064>

above
<04605>_,

and in earth
<0776>

beneath. {did there...: Heb. rose up}

2:12

Now therefore, I pray you, swear
<07650> (8734)

unto me by the LORD
<03068>_,

since
<03588>

I have shewed
<06213> (8804)

you kindness
<02617>_,

that ye will also shew
<06213> (8804)

kindness
<02617>

unto my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

and give
<05414> (8804)

me a true
<0571>

token
<0226>_:

2:13

And [that] ye will save alive
<02421> (8689)

my father
<01>_,

and my mother
<0517>_,

and my brethren
<0251>_,

and my sisters
<0269>_,

and all that they have, and deliver
<05337> (8689)

our lives
<05315>

from death
<04194>_.

2:14

And the men
<0582>

answered
<0559> (8799)

her, Our life
<05315>

for yours
<04191> (8800)_,

if ye utter
<05046> (8686)

not this our business
<01697>_.

And it shall be, when the LORD
<03068>

hath given
<05414> (8800)

us the land
<0776>_,

that we will deal
<06213> (8804)

kindly
<02617>

and truly
<0571>

with thee. {for...: Heb. instead of you to die}

2:15

Then she let them down
<03381> (8686)

by a cord
<02256>

through
<01157>

the window
<02474>_:

for her house
<01004>

[was] upon the town
<07023>

wall
<02346>_,

and she dwelt
<03427> (8802)

upon the wall
<02346>_.

2:16

And she said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Get
<03212> (8798)

you to the mountain
<02022>_,

lest the pursuers
<07291> (8802)

meet
<06293> (8799)

you; and hide
<02247> (8738)

yourselves there three
<07969>

days
<03117>_,

until the pursuers
<07291> (8802)

be returned
<07725> (8800)_:

and afterward
<0310>

may ye go
<03212> (8799)

your way
<01870>_.
