Chapter 2 And Joshua the son of Nun sent
out of Shittim two men to spy secretly,

00:06.120 --> 00:09.180
saying, Go view the land, even Jericho.

00:09.500 --> 00:13.240
And they went, and came into an harlot's
house, named Rahab, and lodged there.

00:13.680 --> 00:17.340
And it was told the king of Jericho,
saying, Behold, there came men in hither

00:17.340 --> 00:19.740
to-night, of the children of Israel,
to search out the country.

00:20.040 --> 00:24.020
And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab,
saying, Bring forth the men that are come

00:24.020 --> 00:26.120
to thee, which are entered into thine
house.

00:26.460 --> 00:28.840
For they become to search out all the
country.

00:28.840 --> 00:33.000
And the woman took the two men,
and hid them, and said thus, There came

00:33.000 --> 00:35.220
men unto me, but I wist not whence they
were.

00:36.060 --> 00:39.820
And it came to pass, about the time of
shutting of the gate, when it was dark,

00:40.040 --> 00:40.920
that the men went out.

00:41.280 --> 00:42.780
Whither the men went, I want not.

00:43.340 --> 00:45.620
Pursue after them quickly, for ye shall
overtake them.

00:45.800 --> 00:49.320
But she had brought them up to the roof of
the house, and hid them with the stalks of

00:49.320 --> 00:51.680
flax, which she had laid in order upon the
roof.

00:52.500 --> 00:55.500
And the men pursued after them the way to
Jordan, unto the fords.

00:55.500 --> 00:59.680
And as soon as they which pursued after
them were gone out, they shut the gate.

01:00.280 --> 01:03.360
And before they were laid down,
she came up unto them upon the roof.

01:03.900 --> 01:07.860
And she said unto the men, I know that the
Lord hath given you the land, and that

01:07.860 --> 01:11.400
your terror is fallen upon us,
and that all the inhabitants of the land

01:11.400 --> 01:12.360
faint because of you.

01:13.420 --> 01:16.720
For we have heard how the Lord dried up
the water of the Red Sea for you,

01:17.080 --> 01:21.220
when ye came out of Egypt, and what he did
unto the two kings of the Amorites that

01:21.220 --> 01:25.160
were on the other side Jordan,
Sion and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.

01:25.660 --> 01:28.640
And as soon as we had heard these things,
our hearts did melt.

01:29.360 --> 01:32.420
Neither did there remain any more courage
in any man because of you.

01:33.160 --> 01:36.940
For the Lord your God, he is God in heaven
above, and in earth beneath.

01:38.060 --> 01:43.800
Now, therefore, I pray you, swear unto me
by the Lord, since I have showed you

01:43.800 --> 01:48.980
kindness, that ye will also show kindness
unto my father's house, and give me a true

01:48.980 --> 01:53.940
token, and that ye will save alive my
father, and my mother, and my brethren,

01:54.060 --> 01:58.400
and my sisters, and all that they have,
and deliver our lives from death.

01:58.620 --> 02:04.500
And the men answered her, Our life for
yours, if ye utter not this our business.

02:05.180 --> 02:10.100
And it shall be, when the Lord hath given
us the land, that we will deal kindly and

02:10.100 --> 02:10.800
truly with thee.

02:11.180 --> 02:15.180
Then she let them down by a cord through
the window, for her house was upon the

02:15.180 --> 02:17.520
town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.

02:18.160 --> 02:22.200
And she said unto them, Get you to the
mountain, lest the pursuers meet you,

02:22.380 --> 02:26.200
and hide yourselves there three days,
until the pursuers be returned,

02:26.760 --> 02:28.280
and afterward may ye go your way.

02:28.780 --> 02:33.100
And the men said unto her, We will be
blameless of this thine oath, which thou

02:33.100 --> 02:34.100
hast made us swear.

02:35.240 --> 02:39.640
Behold, when we come into the land,
thou shalt bind this line of scarlet

02:39.640 --> 02:44.600
thread in the window, which thou didst let
us down by, and thou shalt bring thy

02:44.600 --> 02:49.380
father, and thy mother, and thy brethren,
and all thy father's household home unto

02:49.380 --> 02:49.680
thee.

02:50.260 --> 02:54.600
And it shall be, that whosoever shall go
out of the doors of thy house into the

02:54.600 --> 02:59.160
street, his blood shall be upon his head,
and we will be guiltless.

02:59.540 --> 03:04.720
And whosoever shall be with thee in the
house, his blood shall be on our head,

03:05.220 --> 03:06.760
if any hand be upon him.

03:07.120 --> 03:11.440
And if thou utter this our business,
then we will be quit of thine oath,

03:11.700 --> 03:13.600
which thou hast made us to swear.

03:13.600 --> 03:17.200
And she said, According unto your words,
so be it.

03:17.340 --> 03:18.980
And she sent them away, and they departed.

03:19.580 --> 03:21.440
And she bound the scarlet line in the
window.

03:22.100 --> 03:26.520
And they went, and came unto the mountain,
and abode there three days, until the

03:26.520 --> 03:27.560
pursuers were returned.

03:27.980 --> 03:31.500
And the pursuers sought them throughout
all the way, but found them not.

03:32.500 --> 03:36.460
So the two men returned, and descended
from the mountain, and passed over,

03:36.680 --> 03:40.620
and came to Joshua the son of Nun,
and told him all things that befell them.

03:40.620 --> 03:46.660
And they said unto Joshua, Truly,
the Lord hath delivered into our hands all

03:46.660 --> 03:50.960
the land, for even all the inhabitants of
the country do faint because of us.
