Joshua:2:6-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 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 were laid down ,
she came up unto them upon the roof ;
*
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 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 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 .
*
Now therefore ,
I pray you ,
swear unto me by the LORD ,
since I have shewed you kindness ,
that ye will also shew kindness unto my father '
s house ,
and give me a true token :
*
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 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 .
*
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 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 .
