14. And the men said to her, “Our lives for yours. If you do not report this business of ours, we will show you loyalty and faithfulness when Yahweh gives us the land.”
15. Then she lowered them with a rope through the window, as her house was on the outer side of the wall, and she was residing in the wall.
16. And she said to them, “Go to the mountain, so that the pursuers will not find you, and hide yourselves there three days until the pursuers return, and afterward you may go on your way.”
17. The men said to her, “We will be released from this oath of yours that you made us swear.
18. When we come to the land, you must tie this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and you must gather your father and mother, and your brothers, and your whole family to your house.
19. If anyone goes outside the doors of your house, they will be responsible for their own death, and we will be innocent. Anyone who will be with you in the house, we will be responsible for their death if a hand is laid on them.
20. But if you report this business of ours, we will be released from your oath that you made us swear.”
21. And she said, “According to your word it will be.” Then she sent them away, and they went, and she tied the scarlet cord in the window.
