And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 sentH7971 out of ShittimH7851 twoH8147 menH582 to spyH7270 secretlyH2791, sayingH559, GoH3212 viewH7200 the landH776, even JerichoH3405. And they wentH3212, and cameH935 into an harlot'sH2181 houseH802+H1004, namedH8034 RahabH7343, and lodgedH7901 there. {sent: or, had sent} {lodged: Heb. lay}
And it was toldH559 the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405, sayingH559, Behold, there cameH935 menH582 in hither to nightH3915 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 to search outH2658 the countryH776.
And the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405 sentH7971 unto RahabH7343, sayingH559, Bring forthH3318 the menH582 that are comeH935 to thee, which are enteredH935 into thine houseH1004: for they be comeH935 to search outH2658 all the countryH776.
And the womanH802 tookH3947 the twoH8147 menH582, and hidH6845 them, and saidH559 thus, There cameH935 menH582 unto me, but I wistH3045 not whenceH370 they were:
And it came to pass about the time of shuttingH5462 of the gateH8179, when it was darkH2822, that the menH582 went outH3318: whither the menH582 wentH1980 I wotH3045 not: pursueH7291 afterH310 them quicklyH4118; for ye shall overtakeH5381 them.
But she had brought them upH5927 to the roofH1406 of the house, and hidH2934 them with the stalksH6086 of flaxH6593, which she had laid in orderH6186 upon the roofH1406.
And the menH582 pursuedH7291 afterH310 them the wayH1870 to JordanH3383 unto the fordsH4569: and as soon as they which pursuedH7291 afterH310 them were gone outH3318, they shutH5462 the gateH8179.
And before they were laid downH7901, she came upH5927 unto them upon the roofH1406;
And she saidH559 unto the menH582, I knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 you the landH776, and that your terrorH367 is fallenH5307 upon us, and that all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 faintH4127 becauseH6440 of you. {faint: Heb. melt}
For we have heardH8085 how the LORDH3068 dried upH3001 the waterH4325 of the RedH5488 seaH3220 for youH6440, when ye came outH3318 of EgyptH4714; and what ye didH6213 unto the twoH8147 kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, that were on the other sideH5676 JordanH3383, SihonH5511 and OgH5747, whom ye utterly destroyedH2763.
And as soon as we had heardH8085 these things, our heartsH3824 did meltH4549, neither did there remainH6965 any more courageH7307 in any manH376, becauseH6440 of you: for the LORDH3068 your GodH430, he is GodH430 in heavenH8064 aboveH4605, and in earthH776 beneath. {did there…: Heb. rose up}
Now therefore, I pray you, swearH7650 unto me by the LORDH3068, sinceH3588 I have shewedH6213 you kindnessH2617, that ye will also shewH6213 kindnessH2617 unto my father'sH1 houseH1004, and giveH5414 me a trueH571 tokenH226:
And that ye will save aliveH2421 my fatherH1, and my motherH517, and my brethrenH251, and my sistersH269, and all that they have, and deliverH5337 our livesH5315 from deathH4194.
And the menH582 answeredH559 her, Our lifeH5315 for yoursH4191, if ye utterH5046 not this our businessH1697. And it shall be, when the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 us the landH776, that we will dealH6213 kindlyH2617 and trulyH571 with thee. {for…: Heb. instead of you to die}
Then she let them downH3381 by a cordH2256 throughH1157 the windowH2474: for her houseH1004 was upon the townH7023 wallH2346, and she dweltH3427 upon the wallH2346.
And she saidH559 unto them, GetH3212 you to the mountainH2022, lest the pursuersH7291 meetH6293 you; and hideH2247 yourselves there threeH7969 daysH3117, until the pursuersH7291 be returnedH7725: and afterwardH310 may ye goH3212 your wayH1870.
And the menH582 saidH559 unto her, We will be blamelessH5355 of this thine oathH7621 which thou hast made us swearH7650.
Behold, when we comeH935 into the landH776, thou shalt bindH7194 this lineH8615 of scarletH8144 threadH2339 in the windowH2474 which thou didst let us down byH3381: and thou shalt bringH622 thy fatherH1, and thy motherH517, and thy brethrenH251, and all thy father'sH1 householdH1004, homeH1004 unto thee. {bring: Heb. gather}
And it shall be, that whosoeverH834 shall go outH3318 of the doorsH1817 of thy houseH1004 into the streetH2351, his bloodH1818 shall be upon his headH7218, and we will be guiltlessH5355: and whosoever shall be with thee in the houseH1004, his bloodH1818 shall be on our headH7218, if any handH3027 be upon him.
And if thou utterH5046 this our businessH1697, then we will be quitH5355 of thine oathH7621 which thou hast made us to swearH7650.
And she saidH559, According unto your wordsH1697, so be it. And she sent them awayH7971, and they departedH3212: and she boundH7194 the scarletH8144 lineH8615 in the windowH2474.
And they wentH3212, and cameH935 unto the mountainH2022, and abodeH3427 there threeH7969 daysH3117, until the pursuersH7291 were returnedH7725: and the pursuersH7291 soughtH1245 them throughout all the wayH1870, but foundH4672 them not.
So the twoH8147 menH582 returnedH7725, and descendedH3381 from the mountainH2022, and passed overH5674, and cameH935 to JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, and toldH5608 him all things that befellH4672 them:
And they saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, TrulyH3588 the LORDH3068 hath deliveredH5414 into our handsH3027 all the landH776; for even all the inhabitantsH3427 of the countryH776 do faintH4127 becauseH6440 of us. {faint: Heb. melt}

And as the kingH4428 passed byH5674, he criedH6817 unto the kingH4428: and he saidH559, Thy servantH5650 went outH3318 into the midstH7130 of the battleH4421; and, behold, a manH376 turned asideH5493, and broughtH935 a manH376 unto me, and saidH559, KeepH8104 this manH376: if by any meansH6485 he be missingH6485, then shall thy lifeH5315 be for his lifeH5315, or else thou shalt payH8254 a talentH3603 of silverH3701. {pay: Heb. weigh}
And the cityH5892 shall be accursedH2764, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORDH3068: only RahabH7343 the harlotH2181 shall liveH2421, she and all that are with her in the houseH1004, because she hidH2244 the messengersH4397 that we sentH7971. {accursed: or, devoted}
And JoshuaH3091 savedH2421 RahabH7343 the harlotH2181 aliveH2421, and her father'sH1 householdH1004, and all that she had; and she dwellethH3427 inH7130 IsraelH3478 even unto this dayH3117; because she hidH2244 the messengersH4397, which JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 to spy outH7270 JerichoH3405.
And now if ye willH3426 dealH6213 kindlyH2617 and trulyH571 with my masterH113, tellH5046 me: and if not, tellH5046 me; that I may turnH6437 to the right handH3225, orH176 to the leftH8040.
And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto HobabH2246, the sonH1121 of RaguelH7467 the MidianiteH4084, Moses'H4872 father in lawH2859, We are journeyingH5265 unto the placeH4725 of which the LORDH3068 saidH559, I will giveH5414 it you: comeH3212 thou with us, and we will do thee goodH2895: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 goodH2896 concerning IsraelH3478.
And he saidH559 unto him, I will not goH3212; but I will departH3212 to mine own landH776, and to my kindredH4138.
And he saidH559, LeaveH5800 us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowestH3651+H3045 how we are to encampH2583 in the wildernessH4057, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyesH5869.
And it shall be, if thou goH3212 with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodnessH2896 the LORDH3068 shall doH3190 unto us, the same will we doH2895 unto thee.
And the spiesH8104 sawH7200 a manH376 come forthH3318 out of the cityH5892, and they saidH559 unto him, ShewH7200 us, we pray thee, the entranceH3996 into the cityH5892, and we will shewH6213 thee mercyH2617.
And when he shewedH7200 them the entranceH3996 into the cityH5892, they smoteH5221 the cityH5892 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; but they let goH7971 the manH376 and all his familyH4940.
Therefore thou shalt dealH6213 kindlyH2617 with thy servantH5650; for thou hast broughtH935 thy servantH5650 into a covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 with thee: notwithstanding, if there beH3426 in me iniquityH5771, slayH4191 me thyself; for why shouldest thou bringH935 me to thy fatherH1?
And DavidH1732 saidH559, Is there yetH3426 any that is leftH3498 of the houseH1004 of SaulH7586, that I may shewH6213 him kindnessH2617 for Jonathan'sH3083 sake?
