strkjv@Joshua:2:1 @ And Joshua Y@howshuwa# the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly , saying , Go view the land , even Jericho Y@riychow#. And they went , and came into an harlots house #ishshah# , named Rahab , and lodged there.
strkjv@Joshua:2:2 @ And it was told the king of Jericho Y@riychow#, saying , Behold, there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country .
strkjv@Joshua:2:3 @ And the king of Jericho Y@riychow# sent unto Rahab , saying , Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house : for they be come to search out all the country .
strkjv@Joshua:2:4 @ And the woman took the two men , and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were:
strkjv@Joshua:2:5 @ And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate , when it was dark , that the men went out : whither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly ; for ye shall overtake them.
strkjv@Joshua:2:6 @ But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax , which she had laid in order upon the roof .
strkjv@Joshua:2:7 @ And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords : and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out , they shut the gate .
strkjv@Joshua:2:8 @ And before they were laid down , she came up unto them upon the roof ;
strkjv@Joshua:2:9 @ And she said unto the men , I know that the LORD Y@hovah# hath given you the land , and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
strkjv@Joshua:2:10 @ For we have heard how the LORD Y@hovah# dried up the water of the Red sea for you , when ye came out of Egypt ; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites , that were on the other side Jordan , Sihon and Og , whom ye utterly destroyed .
strkjv@Joshua:2:11 @ And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt , neither did there remain any more courage in any man , because of you: for the LORD Y@hovah# your God , he is God in heaven above , and in earth beneath.
strkjv@Joshua:2:12 @ Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD Y@hovah#, since I have shewed you kindness , that ye will also shew kindness unto my fathers house , and give me a true token :
strkjv@Joshua:2:13 @ And that ye will save alive my father , and my mother , and my brethren , and my sisters , and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death .
strkjv@Joshua:2:14 @ And the men answered her, Our life for yours , if ye utter not this our business . And it shall be, when the LORD Y@hovah# hath given us he land , that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
strkjv@Joshua:2:15 @ Then she let them down by a cord through b@#ad# the window : for her house was upon the town wall , and she dwelt upon the wall .
strkjv@Joshua:2:16 @ And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain , lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days , until the pursuers be returned : and afterward may ye go your way .
strkjv@Joshua:2:17 @ And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear .
strkjv@Joshua:2:18 @ 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 fathers household , home unto thee.
strkjv@Joshua:2:19 @ 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.
strkjv@Joshua:2:20 @ And if thou utter this our business , then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear .
strkjv@Joshua:2:21 @ 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 .
strkjv@Joshua:2:22 @ And they went , and came unto the mountain , and abode there three days , until the pursuers were returned : and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way , but found them not.
strkjv@Joshua:2:23 @ So the two men returned , and descended from the mountain , and passed over , and came to Joshua Y@howshuwa# the son of Nun , and told him all things that befell them:
strkjv@Joshua:2:24 @ And they said unto Joshua Y@howshuwa#, Truly the LORD Y@hovah# hath delivered into our hands all the land ; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.

bible Joshua:2 -
kjv@Joshua:22:10-34 > > RandyP : Though this incident appears to resolve itself, doesn't at least appear that there is much friction between those tribes on the other side of Jordan and those on the Canaan? A decision is made to build a curious alter without announcing their intent, and the others would gather in a warlike stance without first determining the intent. Perhaps it is the english translanslation here but, building a testimony to stand between us and you for future generations seems to me biased and perhaps prejudicial and anticipating division and rift.
