KJV_Strong : Joshua 2
1. And Joshua[H3091] the son[H1121] of Nun[H5126] sent[H7971] out of[H4480] Shittim[H7851] two[H8147] men[H376] to spy[H7270] secretly,[H2791] saying,[H559] Go[H1980] view[H7200] [H853] the land,[H776] even Jericho.[H3405] And they went,[H1980] and came into[H935] a harlot's[H802] [H2181] house,[H1004] named[H8034] Rahab,[H7343] and lodged[H7901] there.[H8033]
2. And it was told[H559] the king[H4428] of Jericho,[H3405] saying,[H559] Behold,[H2009] there came[H935] men[H376] in hither[H2008] tonight[H3915] of the children[H4480] [H1121] of Israel[H3478] to search out[H2658] [H853] the country.[H776]
3. And the king[H4428] of Jericho[H3405] sent[H7971] unto[H413] Rahab,[H7343] saying,[H559] Bring forth[H3318] the men[H376] that are come[H935] to[H413] thee, which[H834] are entered[H935] into thine house:[H1004] for[H3588] they be come[H935] to search out[H2658] [H853] all[H3605] the country.[H776]
4. And the woman[H802] took[H3947] [H853] the two[H8147] men,[H376] and hid[H6845] them, and said[H559] thus,[H3651] There came[H935] men[H376] unto[H413] me, but I knew[H3045] not[H3808] whence[H4480] [H370] they[H1992] were:
5. And it came to pass[H1961] about the time of shutting[H5462] of the gate,[H8179] when it was dark,[H2822] that the men[H376] went out:[H3318] whither[H575] the men[H376] went[H1980] I know[H3045] not:[H3808] pursue[H7291] after[H310] them quickly;[H4118] for[H3588] ye shall overtake[H5381] them.
6. But she[H1931] had brought them up[H5927] to the roof[H1406] of the house, and hid[H2934] them with the stalks[H6086] of flax,[H6593] which she had laid in order[H6186] upon[H5921] the roof.[H1406]
7. And the men[H376] pursued[H7291] after[H310] them the way[H1870] to Jordan[H3383] unto[H5921] the fords:[H4569] and as soon as[H310] [H834] they which pursued[H7291] after[H310] them were gone out,[H3318] they shut[H5462] the gate.[H8179]
8. And before[H2962] they[H1992] were laid down,[H7901] she[H1931] came up[H5927] unto[H5921] them upon[H5921] the roof;[H1406]
9. And she said[H559] unto[H413] the men,[H376] I know[H3045] that[H3588] the LORD[H3068] hath given[H5414] you[H853] the land,[H776] and that[H3588] your terror[H367] is fallen[H5307] upon[H5921] us, and that[H3588] all[H3605] the inhabitants[H3427] of the land[H776] faint[H4127] because of[H4480] [H6440] you.
10. For[H3588] we have heard[H8085] [H853] how[H834] the LORD[H3068] dried up[H3001] [H853] the water[H4325] of the Red[H5488] sea[H3220] for[H4480] [H6440] you, when ye came out[H3318] of Egypt;[H4480] [H4714] and what[H834] ye did[H6213] unto the two[H8147] kings[H4428] of the Amorites,[H567] that[H834] were on the other side[H5676] Jordan,[H3383] Sihon[H5511] and Og,[H5747] whom[H834] ye utterly destroyed.[H2763] [H853]
11. And as soon as we had heard[H8085] these things, our hearts[H3824] did melt,[H4549] neither[H3808] did there remain[H6965] any more[H5750] courage[H7307] in any man[H376] because of[H4480] [H6440] you: for[H3588] the LORD[H3068] your God,[H430] he[H1931] is God[H430] in heaven[H8064] above,[H4480] [H4605] and in[H5921] earth[H776] beneath.[H4480] [H8478]
12. Now[H6258] therefore, I pray[H4994] you, swear[H7650] unto me by the LORD,[H3068] since[H3588] I have showed you kindness,[H6213] [H5973] [H2617] that ye[H859] will also[H1571] show[H6213] kindness[H2617] unto[H5973] my father's[H1] house,[H1004] and give[H5414] me a true[H571] token: [H226]
13. And that ye will save alive[H2421] [H853] my father,[H1] and my mother,[H517] and my brethren,[H251] and my sisters,[H269] and all[H3605] that[H834] they have, and deliver[H5337] [H853] our lives[H5315] from death.[H4480] [H4194]
14. And the men[H376] answered[H559] her, Our life[H5315] for[H8478] yours, if[H518] ye utter[H5046] not[H3808] [H853] this[H2088] our business.[H1697] And it shall be,[H1961] when the LORD[H3068] hath given[H5414] us[H853] the land,[H776] that we will deal[H6213] kindly[H2617] and truly[H571] with[H5973] thee.
15. Then she let them down[H3381] by a cord[H2256] through[H1157] the window:[H2474] for[H3588] her house[H1004] was upon the town[H2346] wall,[H7023] and she[H1931] dwelt[H3427] upon the wall.[H2346]
16. And she said[H559] unto them, Get[H1980] you to the mountain,[H2022] lest[H6435] the pursuers[H7291] meet[H6293] you; and hide yourselves[H2247] there[H8033] three[H7969] days,[H3117] until[H5704] the pursuers[H7291] be returned:[H7725] and afterward[H310] may ye go[H1980] your way.[H1870]
17. And the men[H376] said[H559] unto[H413] her, We[H587] will be blameless[H5355] of this thine oath[H4480] [H7621] [H2088] which[H834] thou hast made us swear.[H7650]
18. Behold,[H2009] when we[H587] come[H935] into the land,[H776] thou shalt bind[H7194] [H853] this[H2088] line[H8615] of scarlet[H8144] thread[H2339] in the window[H2474] which[H834] thou didst let us down[H3381] by: and thou shalt bring[H622] thy father,[H1] and thy mother,[H517] and thy brethren,[H251] and all[H3605] thy father's[H1] household,[H1004] home[H1004] unto[H413] thee.
19. And it shall be,[H1961] that whosoever[H3605] [H834] shall go out[H3318] of the doors[H4480] [H1817] of thy house[H1004] into the street,[H2351] his blood[H1818] shall be upon his head,[H7218] and we[H587] will be guiltless:[H5355] and whosoever[H3605] [H834] shall be[H1961] with[H854] thee in the house,[H1004] his blood[H1818] shall be on our head,[H7218] if[H518] any hand[H3027] be[H1961] upon him.
20. And if[H518] thou utter[H5046] [H853] this[H2088] our business,[H1697] then we will be[H1961] quit[H5355] of thine oath[H4480] [H7621] which[H834] thou hast made us to swear.[H7650]
21. And she said,[H559] According unto your words,[H1697] so[H3651] be it.[H1931] And she sent them away,[H7971] and they departed:[H1980] and she bound[H7194] [H853] the scarlet[H8144] line[H8615] in the window.[H2474]
22. And they went,[H1980] and came[H935] unto the mountain,[H2022] and abode[H3427] there[H8033] three[H7969] days,[H3117] until[H5704] the pursuers[H7291] were returned:[H7725] and the pursuers[H7291] sought[H1245] them throughout all[H3605] the way,[H1870] but found[H4672] them not.[H3808]
23. So the two[H8147] men[H376] returned,[H7725] and descended[H3381] from the mountain,[H4480] [H2022] and passed over,[H5674] and came[H935] to[H413] Joshua[H3091] the son[H1121] of Nun,[H5126] and told[H5608] him[H853] all[H3605] things that befell[H4672] them:
24. And they said[H559] unto[H413] Joshua,[H3091] Truly[H3588] the LORD[H3068] hath delivered[H5414] into our hands[H3027] [H853] all[H3605] the land;[H776] for even[H1571] all[H3605] the inhabitants[H3427] of the country[H776] do faint[H4127] because of[H4480] [H6440] us.
