Joshua 2:20 Context
18Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt binde this line of scarlet threed in the window which thou didst let vs downe by: and thou shalt bring thy father and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy fathers houshold home vnto thee. 19And it shall bee, that whosoeuer shall goe out of the doores of thy house into the street, his blood shalbe vpon his head, and wee will bee guiltlesse: and whosoeuer shall bee with thee in the house, his blood shalbe on our head, if any hand be vpon him. 20And if thou vtter this our businesse, then we wilbe quit of thine oath which thou hast made vs to sweare. 21And shee saide, According vnto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, & they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window. 22And they went, and came vnto the mountaine, and abode there three dayes, vntill the pursuers were returned. And the pursuers sought them thorowout all the way, but found them not.
