¹¹And assoone as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there ^†remaine any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heauen aboue, and in earth beneath.

¹²Now therfore, I pray you, sweare vnto me by the LORD, since I haue shewed you kindnesse, that ye will also shew kindnesse vnto my fathers house, and giue me a true token:

¹⁴And the men answered her, Our life ^†for yours, if yee vtter not this our businesse. And it shall bee when the LORD hath giuen vs the land, that wee will deale kindely and truely with thee.

¹⁵Then shee let them downe by a coard thorow the window: for her house was vpon the towne wall, and she dwelt vpon the wall.

¹⁶And she said vnto them, Get you to the mountaine, lest the pursuers meete you; and hide your selues there three dayes, vntill the pursuers bee returned, and afterward may ye goe your way.

¹⁷And the men said vnto her, Wee will bee blamelesse of this thine oath which thou hast made vs sweare:

¹⁸Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt binde this line of scarlet threed in the window which thou didst let vs downe by: and thou shalt ^†bring thy father and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy fathers houshold home vnto thee.

¹⁹And it shall bee, that whosoeuer shall goe out of the doores of thy house into the street, his blood shalbe vpon his head, and wee will bee guiltlesse: and whosoeuer shall bee with thee in the house, his blood shalbe on our head, if any hand be vpon him.
