Joshua 2:19-24 ▼

19 And it shall come to pass that anyone who goes out from the doors of your house to the outside, his blood will be on his own head, and we will be guiltless. And anyone who is with you in the house, his blood will be on our head if a hand is laid on him.

23 And the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and they came to Joshua son of Nun and told him all that had found them.

24 And they said to Joshua, “Truly YHWH has delivered into our hands all the land. For indeed, all those dwelling in the land are fainthearted at our presence.”
