10: ForH3588 we have heardH8085 -H0853 howH0834 dried upH3001 YahwehH3068 -H0853 the waterH4325 of the SeaH3220 RedH5488 for youH6440 when you came outH3318 of EgyptH4714 and whatH0834 you didH6213 to twoH8147 the kingsH4428 of the Amorites,H0567 who [were]H0834 on the other sideH5676 of the Jordan,H3383 SihonH5511 and Og,H5747 whomH0834 you utterly destroyedH2763 -.H0853

11: and as soon as we heard [these things]H8085 and melted,H4549 our heartsH3824 and neitherH3808 did there remainH6965 any moreH5750 courageH7307 in anyoneH0376 because of youH6440 forH3588 YahwehH3068 your God,H0430 He [is]H1931 GodH0430 in heavenH8064 above,H4605 and onH5921 earthH0776 beneath.H8478

12: Therefore nowH6258 swearH7650 I beg youH4994 by Yahweh,H3068 sinceH3588 I have shownH6213 youH5973 kindnessH2617 that will showH6213 alsoH1571 youH0859 toH5973 house,H1004 of my fatherH0001 kindnessH2617 and giveH5414 a token-H0226 TRUE.H0571

13: And spareH2421 -H0853 my father,H0001 andH0853 my mother,H0517 andH0853 my brothers,H0251 andH0853 my sisters,H0269 andH0853 allH3605 thatH0834 and deliverH5337 -H0853 our livesH5315 from death.H4194

14: So answeredH0559 the menH0376 Our livesH5315 for yoursH8478 -H4191 ifH0518 noneH3808 of you tellH5046 -H0853 business of ours.H1697 ThisH2088 and it shall be,H1961 when has givenH5414 YahwehH3068 -H0853 the land,H0776 that we will dealH6213 with youH5973 kindlyH2617 and truly.H0571

16: And she saidH0559 to the mountain,H2022 GetH1980 lestH6435 meetH6293 the pursuersH7291 and HideH2247 thereH8033 threeH7969 days,H3117 untilH5704 have returned.H7725 The pursuersH7291 and afterwardH0310 you may goH1980 your way.H1870

17: So saidH0559 to herH0413 the menH0376 blamelessH5355 we [will be]H0587 of oath of yoursH7621 thisH2088 whichH0834 you have made us swear.H7650

18: Unless [when],H2009 weH0587 comeH0935 into the land,H0776 -H0853 lineH8615 of cordH2339 scarletH8144 thisH2088 you bindH7194 in the windowH2474 through whichH0834 you let us downH3381 and unlessH0853 your father,H0001 andH0853 your mother,H0517 andH0853 your brothers,H0251 andH0853 allH3605 household,H1004 of your fatherH0001 you bringH0622 to your ownH0413 home.H1004

19: So it shall be,H1961 allH3605 [that] whoeverH0834 goes outsideH3318 the doorsH1817 of your houseH1004 into the street,H2351 his blood [shall be]H1818 on his own head,H7218 and we [will be]H0587 guiltless-H5355 andH3605 whoeverH0834 isH1961 with youH0854 in the house,H1004 his blood [shall be]H1818 on our head,H7218 ifH0518 a handH3027 is laidH1961

20: And ifH0518 you tellH5046 -H0853 business of ours,H1697 thisH2088 then we will beH1961 freeH5355 from your oathH7621 whichH0834 you made us swear.H7650

21: And she said,H0559 According to your words,H1697 soH3651 [be] it.H1931 And she sent them away,H7971 and they departed-H1980 and she boundH7194 -H0853 cordH8615 the scarletH8144 in the window.H2474

22: And they departed,H1980 and wentH0935 to the mountain,H2022 and stayedH3427 thereH8033 threeH7969 days,H3117 untilH5704 returned.H7725 The pursuersH7291 and sought [them]H1245 the pursuersH7291 all alongH3605 the way,H1870 but notH3808 did find [them].H4672

23: So returned,H7725 twoH8147 the menH0376 and descendedH3381 from the mountain,H2022 and crossed over,H5674 and they cameH0935 toH0413 JoshuaH3091 sonH1121 of Nun,H5126 and toldH5608 -H0853 allH3605 that had befallenH4672 them.H0854
