1From Shittim, Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two men to reconnoitre. He said, 'Go and explore thecountry and Jericho.' They left; they went into the house of a prostitute called Rahab, to spend the night there.2The king of Jericho was told, 'Some men have come here tonight from the Israelites, to reconnoitre thecountry.'3The king of Jericho then sent a message to Rahab, 'Send out the men who came to you and are lodgingin your house, for they have come to reconnoitre the whole country.'4But the woman took the two men and hid them. 'It is true,' she said, 'the men did come to me, but I didnot know where they came from.5When the city gate was about to be closed at nightfal , the men went out and I cannot say where theyhave gone. Follow them quickly and you wil overtake them.'6She had taken them up to the roof and hidden them under some stalks of flax which she had laid outthere.7The men hurried in pursuit of them towards the Jordan, as far as the fords, and the gate was shut oncethe pursuers had gone through.8The two men had not yet settled down for the night when Rahab came up to them on the roof.9She said to them, 'I know that Yahweh has given you this country, that we are afraid of you and thateveryone living in this country has been seized with terror at your approach;10for we have heard how Yahweh dried up the Sea of Reeds before you when you came out of Egyptand what you did to the two Amorite kings across the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you put under the curse ofdestruction.11When we heard this, our hearts failed us, and now no one has any courage left to resist you, sinceYahweh your God is God both in heaven above and on earth beneath.12So, swear to me now by Yahweh, since I have been kind to you,13that you in your turn will be kind to my father's family; and give me a sure sign of this: that you wilspare the lives of my father and mother, my brothers and sisters and al who belong to them, and will preserveus from death.'14The men replied, 'We pledge you our lives, provided that you say nothing about our mission. WhenYahweh has given us the country, we shal treat you kindly and faithful y.'15She then let them down from the window on a rope, as her house was against the city wal and sheactual y lived in the wal .16'Make for the hil s,' she said, 'or you may run into your pursuers. Hide there for three days, until yourpursuers have come back, and then go on your way.'17The men said, 'This is how we shall fulfil the oath which you have made us swear:18when we invade the country, you must tie this scarlet cord to the window from which you let us down,and collect your father, mother, brothers and entire family inside your house.19If anyone goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood wil be on his own head and weshall not be to blame; but the blood of al staying inside the house with you wil be on our heads if a hand is laidon any of them.20But if you divulge our mission in the meanwhile, we shal be free of the oath which you have made usswear.'21She replied, 'Let it be as you say.' She let them go, and they left. She then tied the scarlet cord to thewindow.22They left and made for the hil s. They stayed there for three days, until their pursuers had gone home,having scoured the countryside without finding them.23The two men then came down again from the hil s, crossed over and, going to Joshua son of Nun, toldhim everything that had happened to them.24To Joshua they said, 'Yahweh has put the whole country at our mercy, and its inhabitants are al panic-stricken at our approach.'
