06:002:017 And the men said unto her, We will be blameless
of this thine
oath
which thou hast made us swear.
06:002:018 Behold, when we come into the land, thou
shalt bind this line
of
scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us
down
by:
and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and
thy
brethren,
and all thy father’s household, home unto thee.
06:002:019 And it shall be, that whosoever shall go
out of the doors of
thy
house into the street, his blood shall be upon his
head,
and
we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with
thee in
the
house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand
be upon
him.
06:002:020 And if thou utter this our business, then
we will be quit of
thine
oath which thou hast made us to swear.
06:002:021 And she said, According unto your words,
so be it. And she
sent
them away, and they departed: and she bound the
scarlet
line
in the window.
06:002:022 And they went, and came unto the mountain,
and abode there
three
days, until the pursuers were returned: and the
pursuers
sought
them throughout all the way, but found them not.
06:002:023 So the two men returned, and descended
from the mountain, and
passed
over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him
all
things that befell them:
06:002:024 And they said unto Joshua, Truly the lord
hath delivered into
our
hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of
the
country
do faint because of us.
06:003:001 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and
they removed from
Shittim,
and came to Jordan, he and all the children of
Israel,
and lodged there before they passed over.
06:003:002 And it came to pass after three days, that
the officers went
through
the host;
06:003:003 And they commanded the people, saying,
When ye see the ark of
the
covenant of the lord your God, and the priests
the Levites
bearing
it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after
it.
06:003:004 Yet there shall be a space between you
and it, about two
thousand
cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that
ye may
know
the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed
this
way
heretofore.
06:003:005 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify
yourselves: for to
morrow
the lord will do wonders among you.
06:003:006 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying,
Take up the ark of
the
covenant, and pass over before the people. And
they took
up
the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
