Joshua 2:1 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Then Joshua secretly sent out two spies from the Israelite camp at Acacia Grove. He instructed them, "Scout out the land on the other side of the Jordan River, especially around Jericho." So the two men set out and came to the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there that night.
2 But someone told the king of Jericho, "Some Israelites have come here tonight to spy out the land."
3 So the king of Jericho sent orders to Rahab: "Bring out the men who have come into your house, for they have come here to spy out the whole land."
4 Rahab had hidden the two men, but she replied, "Yes, the men were here earlier, but I didn't know where they were from.
5 They left the town at dusk, as the gates were about to close. I don't know where they went. If you hurry, you can probably catch up with them."
6 (Actually, she had taken them up to the roof and hidden them beneath bundles of flax she had laid out.)
7 So the king's men went looking for the spies along the road leading to the shallow crossings of the Jordan River. And as soon as the king's men had left, the gate of Jericho was shut.
8 Before the spies went to sleep that night, Rahab went up on the roof to talk with them.
9 "I know the LORD has given you this land," she told them. "We are all afraid of you. Everyone in the land is living in terror.
10 For we have heard how the LORD made a dry path for you through the Red Sea when you left Egypt. And we know what you did to Sihon and Og, the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan River, whose people you completely destroyed.
11 No wonder our hearts have melted in fear! No one has the courage to fight after hearing such things. For the LORD your God is the supreme God of the heavens above and the earth below.
12 "Now swear to me by the LORD that you will be kind to me and my family since I have helped you. Give me some guarantee that
13 when Jericho is conquered, you will let me live, along with my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all their families."
14 "We offer our own lives as a guarantee for your safety," the men agreed. "If you don't betray us, we will keep our promise and be kind to you when the LORD gives us the land."
15 Then, since Rahab's house was built into the town wall, she let them down by a rope through the window.
16 "Escape to the hill country," she told them. "Hide there for three days from the men searching for you. Then, when they have returned, you can go on your way."
17 Before they left, the men told her, "We will be bound by the oath we have taken only if you follow these instructions.
18 When we come into the land, you must leave this scarlet rope hanging from the window through which you let us down. And all your family members-- your father, mother, brothers, and all your relatives-- must be here inside the house.
19 If they go out into the street and are killed, it will not be our fault. But if anyone lays a hand on people inside this house, we will accept the responsibility for their death.
20 If you betray us, however, we are not bound by this oath in any way."
21 "I accept your terms," she replied. And she sent them on their way, leaving the scarlet rope hanging from the window.
22 The spies went up into the hill country and stayed there three days. The men who were chasing them searched everywhere along the road, but they finally returned without success.
23 Then the two spies came down from the hill country, crossed the Jordan River, and reported to Joshua all that had happened to them.
24 "The LORD has given us the whole land," they said, "for all the people in the land are terrified of us."
1 And Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun H5126 sent H7971 W-VQY3MS out of H4480 Shittim H7851 two H8147 men H376 NMP to spy H7270 secretly H2791 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Go H1980 VQI2MP view H7200 the land H776 D-GFS , even Jericho H3405 . And they went H1980 W-VQY3MP , and came into H935 W-VQY3MP a harlot H2181 \'s house H1004 CMS , named H8034 Rahab H7343 , and lodged H7901 there H8033 .
2 And it was told H559 the king H4428 L-CMS of Jericho H3405 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Behold H2009 IJEC , there came H935 VQQ3MP men H376 in hither H2008 ADV tonight H3915 D-AMS of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 to search out H2658 the country H776 D-GFS .
3 And the king H4428 NMS of Jericho H3405 sent H7971 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Rahab H7343 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Bring forth H3318 the men H376 D-NMP that are come H935 to H413 PREP thee , which H834 RPRO are entered H935 VQQ3MP into thine house H1004 : for H3588 CONJ they be come H935 to search out H2658 all H3605 NMS the country H776 D-GFS .
4 And the woman H802 took H3947 W-VQY3FS the two H8147 ONUM men H376 D-NMP , and hid H6845 them , and said H559 W-VQY3FS thus H3651 ADV , There came H935 VQQ3MP men H376 D-NMP unto H413 PREP-1MS me , but I knew H3045 VQY1MS not H3808 W-NPAR whence H370 M-ADV they H1992 were :
5 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS about the time of shutting H5462 of the gate H8179 , when it was dark H2822 BD-NMS , that the men H376 went out H3318 : whither H575 ADV the men H376 D-NMP went H1980 VQQ3MP I know H3045 VQY1MS not H3808 NADV : pursue H7291 after H310 them quickly H4118 ; for H3588 CONJ ye shall overtake H5381 them .
6 But she H1931 had brought them up H5927 to the roof H1406 of the house , and hid H2934 them with the stalks H6086 AMS of flax H6593 , which she had laid in order H6186 upon H5921 PREP the roof H1406 .
7 And the men H376 pursued H7291 after H310 them the way H1870 NMS to Jordan H3383 D-EFS unto H5921 PREP the fords H4569 : and as soon as PREP they which pursued H7291 after H310 PREP them were gone out H3318 VQQ3MP , they shut H5462 the gate H8179 .
8 And before H2962 ADV they H1992 were laid down H7901 , she H1931 came up H5927 VQQ3FS unto H5921 PREP them upon H5921 PREP the roof H1406 ;
9 And she said H559 W-VQY3FS unto H413 PREP the men H376 D-NMP , I know H3045 VQY1MS that H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS hath given H5414 VQQ3MS you the land H776 D-GFS , and that H3588 CONJ your terror H367 is fallen H5307 upon H5921 PREP-1MP us , and that H3588 CONJ all H3605 NMS the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 D-GFS faint H4127 because of you .
10 For H3588 CONJ we have heard H8085 VQQ1MP how H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS dried up H3001 the water H4325 of the Red H5488 NMS sea H3220 for you , when ye came out H3318 of Egypt H4714 ; and what H834 RPRO ye did H6213 unto the two H8147 kings H4428 CMP of the Amorites H567 D-TMS , that H834 RPRO were on the other side H5676 Jordan H3383 D-EFS , Sihon H5511 and Og H5747 , whom H834 RPRO ye utterly destroyed H2763 .
11 And as soon as we had heard H8085 these things , our hearts H3824 did melt H4549 , neither H3808 W-NPAR did there remain H6965 any more H5750 ADV courage H7307 NFS in any man H376 because of you : for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS your God H430 NAME-4MP , he H1931 PPRO-3MS is God H430 EDP in heaven H8064 BD-NMP above H4605 , and in H5921 W-PREP earth H776 D-GFS beneath H8478 .
12 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore , I pray H4994 IJEC you , swear H7650 unto me by the LORD H3068 , since H3588 CONJ I have showed you kindness H5973 PREP-3MP , that ye H859 PPRO-2MS will also H1571 CONJ show H6213 VQQ1MS kindness H2617 NMS unto H5973 PREP my father H1 CMS-1MS \'s house H1004 CMS , and give H5414 me a true H571 token H226 NMS :
13 And that ye will save alive H2421 my father H1 CMS-1MS , and my mother H517 CFS-1MS , and my brethren H251 NMP-1MS , and my sisters H269 , and all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO they have , and deliver H5337 our lives H5315 from death H4194 .
14 And the men H376 D-NMP answered H559 W-VQY3MP her , Our life H5315 for H8478 yours , if H518 PART ye utter H5046 not H3808 NADV this H2088 DPRO our business H1697 . And it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , when the LORD H3068 EDS hath given H5414 us the land H776 D-GFS , that we will deal H6213 kindly H2617 NMS and truly H571 with H5973 PREP-2FS thee .
15 Then she let them down H3381 by a cord H2256 through H1157 PREP the window H2474 : for H3588 CONJ her house H1004 CMS-3FS was upon the town H2346 wall H7023 , and she H1931 PPRO-3FS dwelt H3427 upon the wall H2346 .
16 And she said H559 W-VQY3FS unto them , Get H1980 you to the mountain H2022 D-NMS-3FS , lest H6435 the pursuers H7291 meet H6293 you ; and hide yourselves H2247 there H8033 ADV-3FS three H7969 BMS days H3117 NMP , until H5704 PREP the pursuers H7291 be returned H7725 : and afterward H310 W-ADV may ye go H1980 your way H1870 .
17 And the men H376 D-NMP said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP-3FS her , We H587 PPRO-1MP will be blameless H5355 AMP of this thine oath H7621 which H834 RPRO thou hast made us swear H7650 .
18 Behold H2009 IJEC , when we H587 PPRO-1MP come H935 into the land H776 B-NFS , thou shalt bind H7194 this H2088 D-PMS line H8615 CFS of scarlet H8144 thread H2339 in the window H2474 which H834 RPRO thou didst let us down H3381 by : and thou shalt bring H622 thy father H1 , and thy mother H517 , and thy brethren H251 , and all H3605 NMS thy father H1 \'s household H1004 CMS , home H1004 unto H413 thee .
19 And it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS , that whosoever H3605 NMS shall go out H3318 VQY3MS of the doors H1817 of thy house H1004 into the street H2351 , his blood H1818 CMS-3MS shall be upon his head H7218 , and we H587 will be guiltless H5355 AMP : and whosoever H3605 NMS shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS with H854 PART-2MS thee in the house H1004 , his blood H1818 CMS-3MS shall be on our head H7218 , if H518 PART any hand H3027 NFS be H1961 W-VQQ3MS upon him .
20 And if H518 W-PART thou utter H5046 this H2088 DPRO our business H1697 , then we will be H1961 quit H5355 AMP of thine oath H7621 which H834 RPRO thou hast made us to swear H7650 .
21 And she said H559 W-VQY3FS , According unto your words H1697 , so H3651 be it H1931 PPRO-3MS . And she sent them away H7971 , and they departed H1980 W-VQY3MP : and she bound H7194 the scarlet H8144 line H8615 CFS in the window H2474 .
22 And they went H1980 W-VQY3MP , and came H935 W-VQY3MP unto the mountain H2022 D-NMS-3FS , and abode H3427 W-VQY3MP there H8033 ADV three H7969 BMS days H3117 NMP , until H5704 PREP the pursuers H7291 were returned H7725 VQQ3MP : and the pursuers H7291 sought H1245 them throughout all H3605 B-CMS the way H1870 D-NMS , but found H4672 them not H3808 W-NPAR .
23 So the two H8147 ONUM men H376 returned H7725 W-VUY3MP , and descended H3381 from the mountain H2022 , and passed over H5674 , and came H935 W-VQY3MP to H413 PREP Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun H5126 , and told H5608 him all H3605 NMS things that befell H4672 them :
24 And they said H559 W-VQY3MP unto H413 PREP Joshua H3091 , Truly H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS hath delivered H5414 VQQ3MS into our hands H3027 all H3605 NMS the land H776 D-GFS ; for even H1571 W-CONJ all H3605 NMS the inhabitants H3427 of the country H776 D-GFS do faint H4127 because of us .
