The eyes of Jahweh are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly,
saying, Go look over the land, even Jericho. And they went and came to
the house of a harlot named Rahab. And they stayed there. And the king
of Jericho was told about it, saying, Behold, men from the sons of Israel
came in here tonight, to search out the country. And the king of Jericho
sent to Rahab, saying, Bring out the men that have come to you, those who
have entered into your house. For they have come to search out all the
country. And the woman took the two men and hid them. And she said, Two
men came to me, but I did not know from where they came. And it happened
when it was dark, at the time of shutting the gate, the men went out. Where
the men went I do not know. Go after them quickly, for you shall overtake
them. But she had brought them up on the roof, and had hidden them with
the stalks of flax which she had laid in order upon the roof. And the men
went after them on the way to Jordan, to the fords. And when they who pursued
them had gone out, they shut the gate. And before they had laid down, she
came up to them on the roof. And she said to the men, I know that Jahweh
has given you the land, and that your terror has fallen on us, and that
all those who live in the land faint because of you. For we have heard
how Jahweh dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out
of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites that were on
the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed. And we
had heard, and our hearts melted, nor did any more spirit remain in any
man, because of you. For Jahweh your God, He is God in Heaven above and
in earth beneath. Now therefore, I pray you, swear to me by Jahweh, since
I have dealt with you in kindness, that you will also deal with kindness
to my father's house. And give me a true token, and shall save alive my
father and my mother, and my brothers and my sisters, and all that they
have, and deliver our lives from death. And the men answered her, Our life
shall be for yours, if you do not tell our business. And when Jahweh has
given us the land, we will deal kindly and truly with you. Then she let
them go down by a cord through the window. For her house was on the town
wall, and she lived on the wall. And she said to them, Get up into the
mountain lest the pursuers meet you. And hide yourselves there three days
until the pursuers have returned. And afterward you may go your way. And
the men said to her, We will be blameless of this oath to you which you
have made us swear. Behold, when we come into the land, you shall set this
line of scarlet thread in the window from which you let us down. And you
shall bring your father and your mother, and your brothers, and all your
father's household, home to you. And it shall be, whoever shall go out
of the doors of your house, his blood shall be on his head, and we will
be blameless. And whoever shall be with you in the house, his blood shall
be on our head if a hand is on him. And if you tell our business, then
we will be free of the oath which you have made us swear to you. And she
said, Let it be according to your word. And she sent them away, and they
departed. And she set the scarlet line in the window. And they went and
came to the mountain, and stayed there three days until the pursuers them
had returned. And the pursuers looked for them throughout all the way,
but did not find them. And the two men returned. And came down from the
mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun. And they
told him all that happened to them. And they said to Joshua, Truly Jahweh
has delivered all the land into our hands, for even all those who live
in the country faint because of us.
