06:002:002 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there
           came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to
           search out the country.

06:002:003 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth
           the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine
           house:  for they be come to search out all the country.

06:002:004 And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus,
           There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were: 

06:002:005 And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate,
           when it was dark, that the men went out:  whither the men went
           I wot not:  pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake
           them.

06:002:006 But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid
           them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon
           the roof.

06:002:007 And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the
           fords:  and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone
           out, they shut the gate.

06:002:008 And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the
           roof;

06:002:009 And she said unto the men, I know that the lord hath given you
           the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all
           the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.

06:002:010 For we have heard how the lord dried up the water of the Red
           sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto
           the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side
           Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

06:002:011 And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt,
           neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because
           of you:  for the lord your God, he is God in heaven above, and
           in earth beneath.

06:002:012 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the lord, since I
           have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto
           my father’s house, and give me a true token: 

06:002:013 And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my
           brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver
           our lives from death.

06:002:014 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not
           this our business.  And it shall be, when the lord hath given
           us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.

06:002:015 Then she let them down by a cord through the window:  for her
           house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.

06:002:016 And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the
           pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until
           the pursuers be returned:  and afterward may ye go your way.
