Joshua 2:7-24

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>_.

2:17

And the men
<0582>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, We [will be] blameless
<05355>

of this thine oath
<07621>

which thou hast made us swear
<07650> (8689)_.

2:18

Behold, [when] we come
<0935> (8802)

into the land
<0776>_,

thou shalt bind
<07194> (8799)

this line
<08615>

of scarlet
<08144>

thread
<02339>

in the window
<02474>

which thou didst let us down by
<03381> (8689)_:

and thou shalt bring
<0622> (8799)

thy father
<01>_,

and thy mother
<0517>_,

and thy brethren
<0251>_,

and all thy father's
<01>

household
<01004>_,

home
<01004>

unto thee. {bring: Heb. gather}

2:19

And it shall be, [that] whosoever
<0834>

shall go out
<03318> (8799)

of the doors
<01817>

of thy house
<01004>

into the street
<02351>_,

his blood
<01818>

[shall be] upon his head
<07218>_,

and we [will be] guiltless
<05355>_:

and whosoever shall be with thee in the house
<01004>_,

his blood
<01818>

[shall be] on our head
<07218>_,

if [any] hand
<03027>

be upon him.

2:20

And if thou utter
<05046> (8686)

this our business
<01697>_,

then we will be quit
<05355>

of thine oath
<07621>

which thou hast made us to swear
<07650> (8689)_.

2:21

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

According unto your words
<01697>_,

so [be] it. And she sent them away
<07971> (8762)_,

and they departed
<03212> (8799)_:

and she bound
<07194> (8799)

the scarlet
<08144>

line
<08615>

in the window
<02474>_.

2:22

And they went
<03212> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

unto the mountain
<02022>_,

and abode
<03427> (8799)

there three
<07969>

days
<03117>_,

until the pursuers
<07291> (8802)

were returned
<07725> (8804)_:

and the pursuers
<07291> (8802)

sought
<01245> (8762)

[them] throughout all the way
<01870>_,

but found
<04672> (8804)

[them] not.

2:23

So the two
<08147>

men
<0582>

returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and descended
<03381> (8799)

from the mountain
<02022>_,

and passed over
<05674> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

to Joshua
<03091>

the son
<01121>

of Nun
<05126>_,

and told
<05608> (8762)

him all [things] that befell
<04672> (8802)

them:

2:24

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

Truly
<03588>

the LORD
<03068>

hath delivered
<05414> (8804)

into our hands
<03027>

all the land
<0776>_;

for even all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the country
<0776>

do faint
<04127> (8738)

because
<06440>

of us. {faint: Heb. melt}
