1 | Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men as spies secretly, saying, Go, view the land, and Jericho. They went and came into the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and lay there. | Nm 25:1 Nm 33:49 |
2 | It was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in here tonight of the children of Israel to search out the land. | Ps 127:1 Pr 21:30 Isa 43:13 Dn 4:35 |
3 | The king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men who are come to you, who have entered into your house; for they have come to search out all the land. | Jsh 10:23 Gn 38:24 Lv 24:14 Jb 21:30 Jn 19:4 Ac 12:4 Ac 12:6 |
4 | The woman took the two men, and hid them; and she said, Yes, the men came to me, but I didn`t know whence they were: | Ex 1:19 2Sa 16:18 2Sa 16:19 2Sa 17:19 2Sa 17:20 2Ki 6:19 |
5 | and it happened about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out; where the men went I don`t know: pursue after them quickly; for you will overtake them. | Jsh 2:7 Ne 13:19 Isa 60:11 Ezk 47:1 Ezk 47:2 Ezk 47:12 Rev 21:25 |
6 | But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof. | Jsh 2:8 Ex 1:15-21 Dt 22:8 2Sa 11:2 Mt 24:17 |
7 | The men pursued after them the way to the Jordan to the fords: and as soon as those who pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate. | Jg 3:28 Jg 12:5 |
8 | Before they were laid down, she came up to them on the roof; |
9 | and she said to the men, I know that Yahweh has given you the land, and that the fear of you is fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you. | Ex 18:11 2Ki 5:15 Jb 19:25 Ec 8:12 Heb 11:1 Heb 11:2 |
10 | For we have heard how Yahweh dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom you utterly destroyed. | Jsh 4:24 Ex 14:21-31 Ex 15:14-16 |
11 | As soon as we had heard it, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you: for Yahweh your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath. | Jsh 5:1 Jsh 7:5 Jsh 14:8 Dt 1:28 Dt 20:8 Isa 13:7 Nah 2:10 |
12 | Now therefore, please swear to me by Yahweh, since I have dealt kindly with you, that you also will deal kindly with my father`s house, and give me a true token; | Jsh 9:15 Jsh 9:18-20 1Sa 20:14 1Sa 20:15 1Sa 20:17 1Sa 30:15 2Ch 36:13 Jer 12:16 |
13 | and that you will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and will deliver our lives from death. |
14 | The men said to her, Our life for yours, if you don`t utter this our business; and it shall be, when Yahweh gives us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you. | 1Ki 20:39 |
15 | Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was on the side of the wall, and she lived on the wall. | 1Sa 19:12-17 Ac 9:25 2Co 11:33 |
16 | She said to them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers light on you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may you go your way. | Jsh 2:22 1Sa 23:14 1Sa 23:29 Ps 11:1 |
17 | The men said to her, We will be guiltless of this your oath which you have made us to swear. | Jsh 2:20 Gn 24:3-8 Ex 20:7 Lv 19:11 Lv 19:12 Nm 30:2 2Sa 21:1 2Sa 21:2 2Sa 21:7 |
18 | Behold, when we come into the land, you shall bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which you did let us down by: and you shall gather to you into the house your father, and your mother, and your brothers, and all your father`s household. | Jsh 2:21 Lv 14:4 Nm 4:8 Nm 19:6 Heb 9:19 |
19 | It shall be, that whoever shall go out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his head, and we shall be guiltless: and whoever shall be with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be on him. | Ex 12:13 Ex 12:23 Nm 35:26-28 1Ki 2:36-42 Mt 24:17 Ac 27:31 Php 3:9 Heb 10:29 1Jn 2:27 1Jn 2:28 |
20 | But if you utter this our business, then we shall be guiltless of your oath which you have made us to swear. | Pr 11:13 |
21 | She said, According to your words, so be it. She sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window. | Jsh 2:18 Mt 7:24 Jn 2:5 |
22 | They went, and came to the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but didn`t find them. | 1Sa 19:10-12 2Sa 17:20 Ps 32:6 Ps 32:7 |
23 | Then the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had befallen them. |
24 | They said to Joshua, Truly Yahweh has delivered into our hands all the land; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land do melt away before us. | Jsh 1:8 Jsh 21:44 Jsh 21:45 Ex 23:31 Nm 13:32 Nm 13:33 Pr 25:13 |
