The men said to her,
Our life for yours,
if you dont talk about thisbusiness of ours;
and it shall be, when Yahweh gives us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you.
She said to them,
Go to the mountain,lest the pursuers find you.
Hide yourselves therethree days,
until the pursuershave returned.
Afterward,you may go your way.

We will be guiltless of thisyour oath which youve made
us to swear.
Behold,
when we comeinto the land,tie this line
of scarlet threadin the window
which you used tolet us down.
Gather to yourselfinto the house

and all your fathershousehold.
It shall be thatwhoever goes out of the
doors of your houseinto the street,
his blood will be on his head,
and we will be guiltless.
Whoever is with youin the house,
his blood shall beon our head,
if any hand is on him.
But if you talk about thisbusiness of ours,then we shall be
guiltless of your oath whichyouve made us to swear.
