King James Version
And Joshua son of Nun sendeth
from
Shittim ,
two men ,
spies,
silently
, saying, `
Go ,
see
the land --
and
Jericho ;'
and they go
and come
into the
house of
a
woman
, a
harlot,
and
her
name
`is'
Rahab, and they
lie
down
there.
And Joshua the
son of Nun sent
out
of
Shittim two men to
spy
secretly
, saying, Go view
the land ,
even
Jericho .
And they went,
and came
into an
harlot's
house, named
Rahab, and lodged
there.
And it is
told to
the king of Jericho, saying, `Lo
, men have
come
in hither to -
night ,
from
the sons
of Israel ,
to search the land
.
And it was
told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold
, there
came
men in hither to night of
the children
of Israel to search out
the country
.
And the king of Jericho sendeth
unto Rahab, saying, `
Bring out
the men who
are coming
in
unto
thee, who
have
come
into thy
house ,
for to search the
whole
of
the land
they
have
come
in
.
And the king of Jericho sent
unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth
the men that
are come
to
thee, which
are
entered
into thine
house :
for they
be
come
to search out
all
the country
.
And the woman taketh
the two men, and hideth
them, and saith
thus :
`The
men
came in
unto me, and
I have
not known
whence they `are';
And the woman took
the two men, and hid
them, and said
thus ,
There
came men
unto me, but
I wist
not whence they were:
and it cometh
to pass --
the gate
is
to
`be'
shut
--
in
the dark, and
the men have
gone
out ;
I
have
not
known
whither the men have
gone;
pursue ye,
hasten
after them ,
for ye overtake them ;'
And it came
to pass about
the time
of
shutting
of
the gate,
when
it
was
dark, that
the men went
out :
whither the men went
I
wot
not:
pursue after them quickly;
for ye shall
overtake them .
and
she hath
caused
them to
go
up on
the roof, and hideth
them with the flax wood
, which is
arranged
for
her
on
the roof.
But
she had
brought
them up to
the roof of
the
house
, and hid
them with the stalks
of
flax, which she
had
laid
in
order
upon
the roof.
And the men have
pursued after them the way of
the
Jordan ,
by
the fords ,
and the
gate
they have
shut
afterwards,
when
the
pursuers
have
gone
out
after them.
And the men pursued after them the way to
Jordan unto
the fords :
and as
soon
as
they which
pursued
after them were
gone
out,
they
shut
the
gate
.
And --
before they lie
down --
she hath
gone
up unto them on
the roof ,
And before they were
laid
down ,
she came
up unto them upon
the roof ;
and she saith
unto the men, `
I have
known
that Jehovah
hath given to
you the land, and that your terror hath
fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have
melted
at
your
presence
.
And she said
unto the men, I know
that the
LORD
hath given you the land, and that your terror is
fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint
because
of
you
.
`
For we have heard how Jehovah
dried up the waters
of the Red Sea at
your
presence
, in
your
going
out of Egypt ,
and that
which
ye have
done
to
the two kings of the Amorite
who
`are'
beyond
the Jordan ;
to
Sihon and to
Og whom ye devoted
.
For we have heard how the
LORD
dried up the water
of the Red sea for
you
, when
ye
came
out of Egypt ;
and what
ye did
unto
the two kings of the Amorites,
that
were
on
the other
side
Jordan ,
Sihon and Og ,
whom ye utterly
destroyed
.
And we hear
, and
melt
doth
our heart
, and
there hath
not
stood
any more spirit
in `
any '
man, from
your
presence,
for Jehovah
your God, He `
is '
God in the
heavens
above, and on
the
earth beneath.
And as
soon
as
we had
heard
these
things
, our hearts
did
melt
, neither
did
there remain
any more courage
in any man, because
of
you:
for the
LORD
your God, he is God in heaven
above, and in
earth beneath.
`And
now ,
swear
ye
, I pray you, to
me by Jehovah
--
because
I have done
with
you kindness --
that
ye
have
done
, even
ye ,
kindness with
the
house
of
my father
, and have
given
to
me a true token ,
Now therefore
, I pray you, swear
unto
me by the
LORD,
since
I have showed
you kindness, that
ye will
also
show
kindness unto
my father's
house
, and give
me a true token :
and have
kept
alive my father, and my mother, and my brothers
, and my sisters, and all that they have, and have
delivered
our souls
from death. '
And that
ye
will
save
alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren
, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver
our lives
from death.
And the men say
to
her, `
Our soul
for yours --
to
die;
if ye declare
not this our matter,
then
it hath
been
, in
Jehovah's
giving
to
us this
land, that we have
done
with thee kindness
and
truth
. '
And the men answered
her, Our life
for yours ,
if ye utter
not this our business.
And
it shall
be
, when
the
LORD
hath
given
us the
land, that we will
deal
kindly
and
truly
with thee.
And
she causeth
them to
go
down by a rope
through the window ,
for her house `is'
in
the
side
of
the wall, and in
the wall she
`is'
dwelling;
Then
she let
them down by a cord
through the window :
for her house was
upon
the town
wall, and she
dwelt
upon
the wall .
and she saith
to
them, `
To the mountain go
, lest the pursuers come
upon
you; and ye
have
been
hidden
there three days till
the
turning
back
of
the pursuers ,
and afterwards
ye go on
your way. '
And she said
unto
them, Get
you
to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet
you; and hide
yourselves
there three days ,
until
the pursuers be
returned:
and afterward
may
ye go your way.
And the men say
unto her, `
We are
acquitted
of this thine oath which thou hast caused
us to
swear :
And the men said
unto her, We will
be
blameless
of this thine oath which thou hast made
us swear .
lo
, we are
coming
into the land, this line of scarlet thread thou
dost
bind
to
the window by
which thou hast
caused
us to
go
down ,
and thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all the
house
of
thy father
thou
dost
gather
unto thee ,
to
the
house;
Behold
, when
we come
into the land, thou
shalt
bind
this line of scarlet thread in
the window which thou didst
let
us down by:
and thou
shalt
bring
thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's
household,
home
unto thee .
and it hath
been
, any
one
who
goeth
out from
the doors of thy house without
, his blood `is'
on
his head, and we are
innocent;
and any
one
who
is
with thee in the house, his blood `is'
on our head, if a
hand is
on
him ;
And it shall
be
, that
whosoever
shall
go
out of
the doors of thy house into
the
street
, his blood shall
be
upon
his head, and we will
be
guiltless:
and whosoever
shall
be
with thee in the house, his blood shall
be
on our head, if any
hand be
upon
him .
and if thou declare
this our matter
, then we have
been
acquitted
from
thine oath which thou hast caused
us to swear. '
And if thou utter
this our business
, then we will
be
quit
of
thine oath which thou hast made
us to swear.
And she saith
, `
According unto your words, so it `is';'
and she sendeth
them away, and they go;
and she bindeth
the scarlet line to
the window.
And she said
, According unto your words, so be
it .
And she sent
them away, and they departed:
and she bound
the scarlet line in
the window.
And they go
, and come
in
to
the mountain, and abide
there three days until the pursuers have
turned
back;
and the pursuers seek
in
all the way, and
have
not
found.
And they went
, and came
unto
the mountain, and abode
there three days ,
until the pursuers were
returned:
and the pursuers sought
them
throughout
all the way, but
found them
not
.
And
the two men turn
back
, and come
down
from the hill
, and pass
over, and come
in
unto
Joshua son of Nun, and recount
to
him all that hath
come
upon
them ;
So
the two men returned
, and descended
from the mountain
, and passed
over, and came
to
Joshua the
son of Nun, and told
him all things
that befell
them :
and they say
unto Joshua, `Surely
Jehovah
hath given
into our hand
all the land; and
also,
all the inhabitants of the land
have
melted
at
our
presence
. '
And they said
unto Joshua, Truly
the
LORD
hath delivered
into our hands
all the land; for
even
all the inhabitants of the country
do
faint
because
of
us
.
