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

Joshua 2:5
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.
Joshua 2:6
But she had taken them up to the roof, covering them with the stems of flax which she had put out in order there.
Joshua 2:7
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.
Joshua 2:8
And before the men went to rest, she came up to them on the roof,
Joshua 2:12
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,
Joshua 2:13
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?
Joshua 2:14
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.
Joshua 2:15
Then she let them down from the window by a cord, for the house where she was living was on the town wall.
Joshua 2:16
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.
Joshua 2:17
And the men said to her, We will only be responsible for this oath which you have made us take,
Joshua 2:18
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;
Joshua 2:19
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.
Joshua 2:20
But if you say anything about our business here, then we will be free from the oath you have made us take.
Joshua 2:21
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.
Joshua 2:22
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.
Joshua 2:23
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.

Joshua 2:9
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;
Joshua 2:10
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.
Joshua 2:11
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.
-----
Joshua 2:24
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.
