Joshua 2:12-16 ▼

12 Now therefore, since I've treated you so kindly, please swear in the name of the LORD that you'll also be kind to my father's household by giving me this sure sign:

13 Spare my father, my mother, and my brothers and sisters, along with everyone who belongs with them so we won't be killed.|

14 So the men told her, |Our life for yours—even to death—if you don't betray this mission of ours. Then when the LORD gives us this land, we'll treat you graciously and faithfully.|

15 So she let them down by a rope through the window, since her house was built into the town wall where she lived.

16 She told them, |Go out to the hill country, so the search party won't find you, and hide for three days. After that, you may go on your own way.|
