Joshua 2:9–14

⁹and said to the men, “^aI know that the Lord has given you the land, and that the ^bterror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have ¹melted away before you.

¹⁰“^aFor we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the ¹Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and ^bwhat you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you ²utterly destroyed.

¹¹“When we heard it, ^aour hearts melted and no ¹courage remained in any man any longer because of you; for the ^bLord your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.

¹²“Now therefore, please swear to me by the Lord, since I have dealt kindly with you, that you also will deal kindly with my father’s household, and give me a ^apledge of ¹truth,

¹³and ¹spare my father and my mother and my brothers and my sisters, with all who belong to them, and deliver our ²lives from death.”

¹⁴So the men said to her, “Our ¹life ²for yours if you do not tell this business of ours; and it shall come about when the Lord gives us the land that we will ^adeal kindly and ³faithfully with you.”
