Joshua 2:17-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
17
And the men said to her, 'We
shall be
exempt from this oath to you which you have made us swear,
18
unless, when we come into the land, you tie this cord of scarlet thread in the window through which you let us down, and gather into your house your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household.
19
And it shall come about that anyone who goes out of the doors of your house outside
will have
his blood on his own head, and we
will be
innocent; but anyone who is with you in the house, his blood
will be
on our head if a hand is
laid
on him.
20
But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be exempt from the oath which you have made us swear.'
21
She then said, 'According to your words, so be it.' So she sent them away, and they departed; and she tied the scarlet cord in the window.
King James Version
Chapter 2
17
And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.
18
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.
19
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.
20
And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
21
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
17
The men said to her, "We will be free from this oath you made us swear,
18
unless, when we enter the land, you tie this scarlet cord to the window through which you let us down. Bring your father, mother, brothers, and all your father’s family into your house.
19
If anyone goes out the doors of your house, his death will be his own fault, and we will be innocent. But if anyone with you in the house should be harmed, his death will be our fault.
20
And if you report our mission, we are free from the oath you made us swear."
21
"Let it be as you say," she replied, and she sent them away. After they had gone, she tied the scarlet cord to the window.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
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.
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
17
The men said to her, "We will be guiltless with respect to this oath of yours that you have made us swear.
18
Behold, when we come into the land, you shall tie this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and you shall gather into your house your father and mother, your brothers, and all your father 's household.
19
Then if anyone goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we shall be guiltless. But if a hand is laid on anyone who is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head.
20
But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless with respect to your oath that you have made us swear."
21
And she said, "According to your words, so be it." Then she sent them away, and they departed. And she tied the scarlet cord in the window.
New International Version
Chapter 2
17
Now the men had said to her, "This oath you made us swear will not be binding on us
18
unless, when we enter the land, you have tied this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you have brought your father and mother, your brothers and all your family into your house.
19
If any of them go outside your house into the street, their blood will be on their own heads; we will not be responsible. As for those who are in the house with you, their blood will be on our head if a hand is laid on them.
20
But if you tell what we are doing, we will be released from the oath you made us swear."
21
"Agreed," she replied. "Let it be as you say." So she sent them away, and they departed. And she tied the scarlet cord in the window.
New King James Version
Chapter 2
17
So the men said to her: “We
will be
blameless of this oath of yours which you have made us swear,
18
unless,
when
we come into the land, you bind this line of scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you bring your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household to your own home.
19
So it shall be
that
whoever goes outside the doors of your house into the street, his blood
shall be
on his own head, and we
will be
guiltless. And whoever is with you in the house, his blood
shall be
on our head if a hand is laid on him.
20
And if you tell this business of ours, then we will be free from your oath which you made us swear.”
21
Then she said, “According to your words, so
be
it.” And she sent them away, and they departed. And she bound the scarlet cord in the window.
