Seeker Overlay ON

* And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men as spies secretly , saying , Go , view the land , and Jericho . And they went and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab , and lay there . * And it was told the king of Jericho , saying , Behold , men came in here tonight of the sons of Israel to search out the land . * And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab , saying , Bring forth the men who came to thee , who have entered into thy house , for they have come to search out all the land . * And the woman took the two men , and hid them . And she said , Yes , the men came to me , but I did not know from where they were . * And it came to pass about the time of the shutting of the gate , when it was dark , that the men went out . Where the men went I know not . Pursue after them quickly , for ye will overtake them . * But she had brought them up to the roof , and hid them with the stalks of flax , which she had laid in order upon the roof . * And the men pursued after them the way to the Jordan to the fords , and as soon as those who pursued after them were gone out , they shut the gate . * And before they were laid down , she came up to them upon the roof . * And she said to the men , I know that LORD has given you the land , and that the fear of you has fallen upon us . And that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you . * For we have heard how LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when ye came out of Egypt , and what ye did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan , to Sihon and to Og , whom ye utterly destroyed . * And as soon as we had heard it , our hearts melted , neither did there remain any more spirit in any man , because of you , for LORD your God , he is God in heaven above , and on earth beneath . * Now therefore , I pray you , swear to me by LORD , since I have dealt kindly with you , that ye also will deal kindly with my father 's house , and give me a TRUE token , * and that ye will save alive my father , and my mother , and my brothers , and my sisters , and all that they have , and will deliver our lives from death . * And the men said to her , Our life for yours if ye do not utter this our business . And it shall be , when LORD gives us the land , that we will deal kindly and truly with thee . * Then she let them down by a cord through the window , for her house was upon the side of the wall , and she dwelt upon the wall . * And she said to them , Get you to the mountain lest the pursuers come upon you . And hide yourselves there three days , until the pursuers be returned , and afterward ye may go your way . * And the men said to her , We will be guiltless of this thine oath which thou have made us to swear . * Behold , when we come into the land , thou shall bind this line of scarlet cord in the window which thou let us down by . And thou shall gather to thee into the house thy father , and thy mother , and thy brothers , and all thy father 's * And it shall be , that whoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street , his blood shall be upon his head , and we shall be guiltless . And whoever shall be with thee in the house , his blood shall be on our head if any h * But if thou utter this our business , then we shall be guiltless of thine oath which thou have made us to swear . * And she said , According to your words , so be it . And she sent them away , and they departed . And she bound the scarlet line in the window . * And they went , and came to the mountain , and abode there three days , until the pursuers were returned . And the pursuers sought them throughout all the way , but did not find them . * Then the two men returned , and descended from the mountain , and passed over , and came to Joshua the son of Nun . And they told him all that had befallen them . * And they said to Joshua , Truly LORD has delivered into our hands all the land , and moreover all the inhabitants of the land melt away before us .
