| 2:1 | And Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Nun <05126> sent <07971> (8799) out of Shittim <07851> two <08147> men <0582> to spy <07270> (8764) secretly <02791>, saying <0559> (8800), Go <03212> (8798) view <07200> (8798) the land <0776>, even Jericho <03405>. And they went <03212> (8799), and came <0935> (8799) into an harlot's <02181> (8802) house <0802> <01004>, named <08034> Rahab <07343>, and lodged <07901> (8799) there. {sent: or, had sent} {lodged: Heb. lay} |
| 2:2 | And it was told <0559> (8735) the king <04428> of Jericho <03405>, saying <0559> (8800), Behold, there came <0935> (8804) men <0582> in hither to night <03915> of the children <01121> of Israel <03478> to search out <02658> (8800) the country <0776>. |
| 2:3 | And the king <04428> of Jericho <03405> sent <07971> (8799) unto Rahab <07343>, saying <0559> (8800), Bring forth <03318> (8685) the men <0582> that are come <0935> (8802) to thee, which are entered <0935> (8804) into thine house <01004>: for they be come <0935> (8804) to search out <02658> (8800) all the country <0776>. |
| 2:4 | And the woman <0802> took <03947> (8799) the two <08147> men <0582>, and hid <06845> (8799) them, and said <0559> (8799) thus, There came <0935> (8804) men <0582> unto me, but I wist <03045> (8804) not whence <0370> they [were]: |
| 2:5 | And it came to pass [about the time] of shutting <05462> (8800) of the gate <08179>, when it was dark <02822>, that the men <0582> went out <03318> (8804): whither the men <0582> went <01980> (8804) I wot <03045> (8804) not: pursue <07291> (8798) after <0310> them quickly <04118>; for ye shall overtake <05381> (8686) them. |
| 2:6 | But she had brought them up <05927> (8689) to the roof <01406> of the house, and hid <02934> (8799) them with the stalks <06086> of flax <06593>, which she had laid in order <06186> (8803) upon the roof <01406>. |
| 2:7 | And the men <0582> pursued <07291> (8804) after <0310> them the way <01870> to Jordan <03383> unto the fords <04569>: and as soon as they which pursued <07291> (8802) after <0310> them were gone out <03318> (8804), they shut <05462> (8804) the gate <08179>. |
| 2:8 | And before they were laid down <07901> (8799), she came up <05927> (8804) unto them upon the roof <01406>; |
| 2:9 | And she said <0559> (8799) unto the men <0582>, I know <03045> (8804) that the LORD <03068> hath given <05414> (8804) you the land <0776>, and that your terror <0367> is fallen <05307> (8804) upon us, and that all the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the land <0776> faint <04127> (8738) because <06440> of you. {faint: Heb. melt} |
| 2:10 | For we have heard <08085> (8804) how the LORD <03068> dried up <03001> (8689) the water <04325> of the Red <05488> sea <03220> for you <06440>, when ye came out <03318> (8800) of Egypt <04714>; and what ye did <06213> (8804) unto the two <08147> kings <04428> of the Amorites <0567>, that [were] on the other side <05676> Jordan <03383>, Sihon <05511> and Og <05747>, whom ye utterly destroyed <02763> (8689). |
| 2:11 | And as soon as we had heard <08085> (8799) [these things], our hearts <03824> did melt <04549> (8735), neither did there remain <06965> (8804) any more courage <07307> in any man <0376>, because <06440> of you: for the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, he [is] God <0430> in heaven <08064> above <04605>, and in earth <0776> beneath. {did there...: Heb. rose up} |
| 2:12 | Now therefore, I pray you, swear <07650> (8734) unto me by the LORD <03068>, since <03588> I have shewed <06213> (8804) you kindness <02617>, that ye will also shew <06213> (8804) kindness <02617> unto my father's <01> house <01004>, and give <05414> (8804) me a true <0571> token <0226>: |
| 2:13 | And [that] ye will save alive <02421> (8689) my father <01>, and my mother <0517>, and my brethren <0251>, and my sisters <0269>, and all that they have, and deliver <05337> (8689) our lives <05315> from death <04194>. |
| 2:14 | And the men <0582> answered <0559> (8799) her, Our life <05315> for yours <04191> (8800), if ye utter <05046> (8686) not this our business <01697>. And it shall be, when the LORD <03068> hath given <05414> (8800) us the land <0776>, that we will deal <06213> (8804) kindly <02617> and truly <0571> with thee. {for...: Heb. instead of you to die} |
| 2:15 | Then she let them down <03381> (8686) by a cord <02256> through <01157> the window <02474>: for her house <01004> [was] upon the town <07023> wall <02346>, and she dwelt <03427> (8802) upon the wall <02346>. |
| 2:16 | And she said <0559> (8799) unto them, Get <03212> (8798) you to the mountain <02022>, lest the pursuers <07291> (8802) meet <06293> (8799) you; and hide <02247> (8738) yourselves there three <07969> days <03117>, until the pursuers <07291> (8802) be returned <07725> (8800): and afterward <0310> may ye go <03212> (8799) your way <01870>. |
| 2:17 | And the men <0582> said <0559> (8799) unto her, We [will be] blameless <05355> of this thine oath <07621> which thou hast made us swear <07650> (8689). |
| 2:18 | Behold, [when] we come <0935> (8802) into the land <0776>, thou shalt bind <07194> (8799) this line <08615> of scarlet <08144> thread <02339> in the window <02474> which thou didst let us down by <03381> (8689): and thou shalt bring <0622> (8799) thy father <01>, and thy mother <0517>, and thy brethren <0251>, and all thy father's <01> household <01004>, home <01004> unto thee. {bring: Heb. gather} |
| 2:19 | And it shall be, [that] whosoever <0834> shall go out <03318> (8799) of the doors <01817> of thy house <01004> into the street <02351>, his blood <01818> [shall be] upon his head <07218>, and we [will be] guiltless <05355>: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house <01004>, his blood <01818> [shall be] on our head <07218>, if [any] hand <03027> be upon him. |
| 2:20 | And if thou utter <05046> (8686) this our business <01697>, then we will be quit <05355> of thine oath <07621> which thou hast made us to swear <07650> (8689). |
| 2:21 | And she said <0559> (8799), According unto your words <01697>, so [be] it. And she sent them away <07971> (8762), and they departed <03212> (8799): and she bound <07194> (8799) the scarlet <08144> line <08615> in the window <02474>. |
| 2:22 | And they went <03212> (8799), and came <0935> (8799) unto the mountain <02022>, and abode <03427> (8799) there three <07969> days <03117>, until the pursuers <07291> (8802) were returned <07725> (8804): and the pursuers <07291> (8802) sought <01245> (8762) [them] throughout all the way <01870>, but found <04672> (8804) [them] not. |
| 2:23 | So the two <08147> men <0582> returned <07725> (8799), and descended <03381> (8799) from the mountain <02022>, and passed over <05674> (8799), and came <0935> (8799) to Joshua <03091> the son <01121> of Nun <05126>, and told <05608> (8762) him all [things] that befell <04672> (8802) them: |
| 2:24 | And they said <0559> (8799) unto Joshua <03091>, Truly <03588> the LORD <03068> hath delivered <05414> (8804) into our hands <03027> all the land <0776>; for even all the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the country <0776> do faint <04127> (8738) because <06440> of us. {faint: Heb. melt} |
