Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land,“ Go into the prostitute’s house and bring her out and all who belong to her, in accordance with your oath to her.”

Then Joshua spoke to the two men who had gone in to check out the land. He said,“ Go into the prostitute’s house. Bring her out. Also bring out everyone with her. That’s what you promised her you would do.”

But to the two men who had spied out the land, Joshua said,“ Go into the prostitute’s house and bring out from there the woman and all who belong to her, as you swore to her.”

Meanwhile, Joshua said to the two spies,“ Keep your promise. Go to the prostitute’s house and bring her out, along with all her family.”

Joshua said to the two men who had scouted the land,“ Go to the prostitute’s house and bring the woman out of there, and all who are with her, just as you swore to her.”

And Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land,“ Go into the prostitute’s house and bring the woman and all she has out of there, just as you have sworn to her.”

But Joshua had said to the two men who had spied out the country,“ Go into the harlot’s house, and from there bring out the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her.”

And Joshua said unto the two men that had spied out the land, Go into the harlot’s house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.

Joshua said to the two men who had scouted the land,“ Go to the prostitute’s house and bring the woman out of there, and all who are with her, just as you promised her.”

But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot’s house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.

By faith Rahab the prostitute escaped the destruction of the disobedient, because she welcomed the spies in peace.

The city and all that is in it must be set apart for the LORD, except for Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house, because she hid the spies we sent.

He despised the oath by breaking the covenant. Take note– he gave his promise and did all these things– he will not escape!“‘ Therefore this is what the sovereign LORD says: As surely as I live, I will certainly repay him for despising my oath and breaking my covenant!

He took one from the royal family, made a treaty with him, and put him under oath. He then took the leaders of the land

“‘ As surely as I live, declares the sovereign LORD, surely in the city of the king who crowned him, whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke– in the middle of Babylon he will die!

He despises a reprobate, but honors the LORD’s loyal followers. He makes firm commitments and does not renege on his promise.

The king had mercy on Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, in light of the LORD’s oath that had been taken between David and Jonathan son of Saul.

The Israelites did not attack them because the leaders of the community had sworn an oath to them in the name of the LORD God of Israel. The whole community criticized the leaders,but all the leaders told the whole community,“ We swore an oath to them in the name of the LORD God of Israel. So now we can’t hurt them!We must let them live so we can escape the curse attached to the oath we swore to them.”

So the king summoned the Gibeonites and spoke with them.( Now the Gibeonites were not descendants of Israel; they were a remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had made a promise to them, but Saul tried to kill them because of his zeal for the people of Israel and Judah.)

Joshua son of Nun sent two spies out from Shittim secretly and instructed them:“ Find out what you can about the land, especially Jericho.” They stopped at the house of a prostitute named Rahab and spent the night there.The king of Jericho received this report:“ Note well! Israelite men have come here tonight to spy on the land.”So the king of Jericho sent this order to Rahab:“ Turn over the men who came to you– the ones who came to your house– for they have come to spy on the whole land!”But the woman hid the two men and replied,“ Yes, these men were clients of mine, but I didn’t know where they came from.When it was time to shut the city gate for the night, the men left. I don’t know where they were heading. Chase after them quickly, for you have time to catch them!”( Now she had taken them up to the roof and had hidden them in the stalks of flax she had spread out on the roof.)Meanwhile the king’s men tried to find them on the road to the Jordan River near the fords. The city gate was shut as soon as they set out in pursuit of them.Now before the spies went to sleep, Rahab went up to the roof.She said to the men,“ I know the LORD is handing this land over to you. We are absolutely terrified of you, and all who live in the land are cringing before you.For we heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you left Egypt and how you annihilated the two Amorite kings, Sihon and Og, on the other side of the Jordan.When we heard the news we lost our courage and no one could even breathe for fear of you. For the LORD your God is God in heaven above and on earth below!So now, promise me this with an oath sworn in the LORD’s name. Because I have shown allegiance to you, show allegiance to my family. Give me a solemn pledgethat you will spare the lives of my father, mother, brothers, sisters, and all who belong to them, and rescue us from death.”The men said to her,“ If you die, may we die too! If you do not report what we’ve been up to, then, when the LORD hands the land over to us, we will show unswerving allegiance to you.”Then Rahab let them down by a rope through the window.( Her house was built as part of the city wall; she lived in the wall.)She told them,“ Head to the hill country, so the ones chasing you don’t find you. Hide from them there for three days, long enough for those chasing you to return. Then you can be on your way.”The men said to her,“ We are not bound by this oath you made us swear unless the following conditions are met:When we invade the land, tie this red rope in the window through which you let us down, and gather together in your house your father, mother, brothers, and all who live in your father’s house.Anyone who leaves your house will be responsible for his own death– we are innocent in that case! But if anyone with you in the house is harmed, we will be responsible.If you should report what we’ve been up to, we are not bound by this oath you made us swear.”She said,“ I agree to these conditions.” She sent them on their way and then tied the red rope in the window.They went to the hill country and stayed there for three days, long enough for those chasing them to return. Their pursuers looked all along the way but did not find them.Then the two men returned– they came down from the hills, crossed the river, came to Joshua son of Nun, and reported to him all they had discovered.They told Joshua,“ Surely the LORD is handing over all the land to us! All who live in the land are cringing before us!”

Joshua made a peace treaty with them and agreed to let them live. The leaders of the community sealed it with an oath.
