2:9 And she said 559 z8799 vnto x413 the men, y582 x376 I know 3045 z8804 that x3588 the LORD 3068 hath giuen 5414 z8804 you x853 the land, 776 and that x3588 your terrour 367 is fallen 5307 z8804 vpon x5921 vs, and that x3588 all x3605 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of the land 776 faint 4127 z8738 because y6440 of x4480 x6440 you:

2:10 For x3588 wee haue heard 8085 z8804 x853 how x834 the LORD 3068 dried vp 3001 z8689 x853 the water 4325 of the red 5488 Sea 3220 for x4480 x6440 you; y6440 when you came out 3318 z8800 of Egypt, 4714 x4480 and what x834 you did 6213 z8804 vnto the two 8147 kings 4428 of the Amorites 567 that x834 [were] on the other side 5676 Iordan, 3383 Sihon 5511 and Og; 5747 whom x834 ye vtterly destroyed. 2763 z8689 x853

2:11 And assoone as we had heard 8085 z8799 [these things], our hearts 3824 did melt, 4549 z8735 neither x3808 did there remaine 6965 z8804 any more x5750 courage 7307 in any man, 376 because y6440 of x4480 x6440 you: for x3588 the LORD 3068 your God, 430 he x1931 is God 430 in heauen 8064 aboue, 4605 x4480 and in x5921 earth 776 beneath. x4480 x8478

2:12 Now x6258 therfore, I pray x4994 you, sweare 7650 z8734 vnto me by the LORD, 3068 since 3588 I haue shewed y6213 z8804 you kindnesse, 2617 x6213 x5973 that ye x859 will also x1571 shew 6213 z8804 kindnesse 2617 vnto x5973 my fathers 1 house, 1004 and giue 5414 z8804 me a true 571 token: 226

2:13 And that ye will saue aliue 2421 z8689 x853 my father, 1 and my mother, 517 and my brethren, 251 and my sisters, 269 and all x3605 that x834 they haue, and deliuer 5337 z8689 x853 our liues 5315 from death. 4194 x4480

2:14 And the men y582 x376 answered 559 z8799 her, Our life 5315 for x8478 yours, y4191 z8800 if x518 yee vtter 5046 z8686 not x3808 x853 this x2088 our businesse. 1697 And it shall bee x1961 when the LORD 3068 hath giuen 5414 z8800 vs x853 the land, 776 that wee will deale 6213 z8804 kindely 2617 and truely 571 with x5973 thee.

2:15 Then shee let them downe 3381 z8686 by a coard 2256 thorow 1157 the window: 2474 for x3588 her house 1004 [was] vpon the towne y7023 x2346 wall, y2346 x7023 and she x1931 dwelt 3427 z8802 vpon the wall. 2346

2:16 And she said 559 z8799 vnto them, Get y3212 z8798 x1980 you to the mountaine, 2022 lest x6435 the pursuers 7291 z8802 meete 6293 z8799 you; and hide y2247 z8738 your selues x2247 there x8033 three 7969 dayes, 3117 vntill x5704 the pursuers 7291 z8802 bee returned, 7725 z8800 and afterward 310 may ye goe y3212 z8799 x1980 your way. 1870

2:17 And the men y582 x376 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 her, Wee x587 will bee blamelesse 5355 of this thine oath 7621 x4480 x2088 which x834 thou hast made vs sweare: 7650 z8689

2:18 Behold, x2009 when we x587 come 935 z8802 into the land, 776 thou shalt binde 7194 z8799 x853 this x2088 line 8615 of scarlet 8144 threed 2339 in the window 2474 which x834 thou didst let vs downe x3381 by: y3381 z8689 and thou shalt bring 622 z8799 thy father 1 and thy mother, 517 and thy brethren, 251 and all x3605 thy fathers 1 houshold 1004 home 1004 vnto x413 thee.

2:19 And it shall bee, x1961 that whosoeuer 834 x3605 shall goe out 3318 z8799 of the doores 1817 x4480 of thy house 1004 into the street, 2351 his blood 1818 [shalbe] vpon his head, 7218 and wee x587 will bee guiltlesse: 5355 and whosoeuer x3605 x834 shall bee x1961 with x854 thee in the house, 1004 his blood 1818 [shalbe] on our head, 7218 if x518 [any] hand 3027 be x1961 vpon him.

2:20 And if x518 thou vtter 5046 z8686 x853 this x2088 our businesse, 1697 then we wilbe x1961 quit 5355 of thine oath 7621 x4480 which x834 thou hast made vs to sweare. 7650 z8689

2:21 And shee saide, 559 z8799 According vnto your words, 1697 so x3651 be it. x1931 And she sent them away, 7971 z8762 & they departed: y3212 z8799 x1980 and she bound 7194 z8799 x853 the scarlet 8144 line 8615 in the window. 2474

2:22 And they went, y3212 z8799 x1980 and came 935 z8799 vnto the mountaine, 2022 and abode 3427 z8799 there x8033 three 7969 dayes, 3117 vntill x5704 the pursuers 7291 z8802 were returned. 7725 z8804 And the pursuers 7291 z8802 sought 1245 z8762 [them] thorowout all x3605 the way, 1870 but found 4672 z8804 them not. x3808

2:23 ¶ So the two 8147 men y582 x376 returned, 7725 z8799 and descended 3381 z8799 from the mountaine, 2022 x4480 and passed ouer, 5674 z8799 and came 935 z8799 to x413 Ioshua 3091 the sonne 1121 of Nun, 5126 and told 5608 z8762 him x853 all x3605 things that befell 4672 z8802 them.

2:24 And they saide 559 z8799 vnto x413 Ioshua, 3091 Truely 3588 the LORD 3068 hath deliuered 5414 z8804 into our hands 3027 x853 all x3605 the land; 776 for euen x1571 all x3605 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of the countrey 776 doe faint 4127 z8738 because y6440 of x4480 x6440 vs.
