Joshua 2:1

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.

Then Joshua, the son of Nun, sent two men from Shittim secretly, with the purpose of searching out the land, and Jericho. So they went and came to the house of a loose woman of the town, named Rahab, where they took their rest for the night.

And Josue the son of Nun sent from Setim two men, to spy secretly: and said to them: Go, and view the land and the city of Jericho. n They went and entered into the house of a woman that was a harlot named Rahab, and lodged with her.

Joshua 2:2

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 said to the king of Jericho, See, some men have come here tonight from the children of Israel with the purpose of searching out the land.

And it was told the king of Jericho, and was said : Behold there are men come in hither, by night, of the children of Israel, to spy the land.

Joshua 2:3

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.

Then the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Send out the men who have come to you and are in your house; for they have come with the purpose of searching out all the land.

And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying: Bring forth the men that came to thee, and are entered into thy house: for they are spies, and are come to view all the land.

Joshua 2:4

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 put them in a secret place; then she said, Yes, the men came to me, but I had no idea where they came from;

And the woman taking the men, hid them, and said: I confess they came to me, but I knew not whence they were:

Joshua 2:5

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 when it was the time for shutting the doors at dark, they went out; I have no idea where the men went: but if you go after them quickly, you will overtake them.

And at the time of shutting the gate in the dark, they also went out together. I know not whither they are gone: pursue after them quickly, and you will overtake them.

Joshua 2:6

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 taken them up to the roof, covering them with the stems of flax which she had put out in order there.

But she made the men go up to the top of her house, and covered them with the stalks of flax, which was there.

Joshua 2:7

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.

So the men went after them on the road to Jordan as far as the river-crossing: and when they had gone out after them, the door into the town was shut.

Now they that were sent, pursued after them, by the way that leadeth to the fords of the Jordan: and as soon as they were gone out, the gate was presently shut.

Joshua 2:8

And before they lie down she hath gone up unto them on the roof,

And before the men went to rest, she came up to them on the roof,

The men that were hidden were not yet asleep, when behold the woman went up to them, and said:

Joshua 2:9

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 said to them, It is clear to me that the Lord has given you the land, and that the fear of you has come on us;

the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea at your going in, when you came out of Egypt: and what things you did to the two kings of the Amorrhites, that were beyond the Jordan: Sehon and Og whom you slew.

Joshua 2:10

`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 had news of how the Lord made the Red Sea dry before you when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, on the other side of Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you gave up to the curse.

I know that the Lord hath given this land to you: for the dread of you is fallen upon us, and all the inhabitants of the land have lost all strength.

Joshua 2:11

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 because of this news, our hearts became like water, and there was no more spirit in any of us because of you; for the Lord your God is God in heaven on high and here on earth.

We have heard that

Joshua 2:12

`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,

So now, will you give me your oath by the Lord, that, because I have been kind to you, you will be kind to my father's house,

And hearing these things we were affrighted, and our heart fainted away, neither did there remain any spirit in us at your coming in: for the Lord your God he is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath.

Joshua 2:13

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 you will keep safe my father and mother and my brothers and sisters and all they have, so that death may not come on us?

Now therefore swear ye to me by the Lord, that as I have shewn mercy to you, so you also will shew mercy to my father's house: and give me a true token,

Joshua 2:14

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 said to her, Our life for yours if you keep our business secret; and when the Lord has given us the land, we will keep faith and be kind to you.

That you will save my father and mother, my brethren end sisters, and all things that are theirs, and deliver our souls from death.

Joshua 2:15

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 from the window by a cord, for the house where she was living was on the town wall.

They answered her: Be our lives for you unto death, only if thou betray us not. And when the Lord shall have delivered us the land, we will shew thee mercy and truth.

Joshua 2:16

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 to them, Get away into the hill-country, or the men who have gone after you will overtake you; keep yourselves safe there for three days, till the searchers have come back, and then go on your way.

Then she let them down with a cord out of a window: for her house joined close to the wall.

Joshua 2:17

And the men say unto her, `We are acquitted of this thine oath which thou hast caused us to swear:

And the men said to her, We will only be responsible for this oath which you have made us take,

And she said to them: Get ye up to the mountains, lest perhaps they meet you as they return: and there lie ye hid three days, till they come back, and so you shall go on your way.

Joshua 2:18

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;

If, when we come into the land, you put this cord of bright red thread in the window from which you let us down; and get your father and mother and your brothers and all your family into the house;

And they said to her: We shall be blameless of this oath, which thou hast made us swear:

Joshua 2:19

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;

Then if anyone goes out of your house into the street, his blood will be on his head, we will not be responsible; but if any damage comes to anyone in the house, his blood will be on our heads.

If when we come into the land, this scarlet cord be a sign, and thou tie it in the window, by which thou hast let us down: and gather together thy father and mother, and brethren and all thy kindred into thy house.

Joshua 2:20

and if thou declare this our matter, then we have been acquitted from thine oath which thou hast caused us to swear.`

But if you say anything about our business here, then we will be free from the oath you have made us take.

Whosoever shall go out of the door of thy house, his blood shall be upon his own head, and we shall be quit. But the blood of all that shall be with thee in the house, shall light upon our head, if any man touch them.

Joshua 2:21

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, Let it be as you say. Then she sent them away, and they went; and she put the bright red cord in the window.

But if thou wilt betray us, and utter this word abroad, we shall be quit of this oath which thou hast made us swear.

Joshua 2:22

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 into the hill-country and were there three days, till the men who had gone after them had come back; and those who went after them were searching for them everywhere without coming across them.

And she answered: As you have spoken, so be it done. And sending them on their way, she hung the scarlet cord in the window.

Joshua 2:23

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;

Then the two men came down from the hill-country and went over and came back to Joshua, the son of Nun; and they gave him a complete account of what had taken place.

But they went and came to the mountains, and stayed there three days till they that pursued them were returned. For having sought them through all the way, they found them not.

Joshua 2:24

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 to Joshua, Truly, the Lord has given all the land into our hands; and all the people of the land have become like water because of us.

And when they were gone back into the city, the spies returned, and came down from the mountain: and passing over the Jordan, they came to Josue the son of Nun, and told him all that befel them.
