Joshua 2:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ because we have heard how the Lord dried up the ·Red Sea [or Sea of Reeds] when you came out of Egypt [Ex. 14:15–31]. We have heard how you ·destroyed [or devoted to the Lord for destruction; see 6:17; Deut. 20:15–18] Sihon and Og, two Amorite kings who lived ·east of [beyond] the Jordan. ¹¹ When we heard this, ·we were very frightened [^Lour hearts melted]. ·Now our men are afraid to fight you [^LAnd there rose up no spirit/breath in a man because of you] because the Lord your God ·rules [^Lis God in] the heavens above and the earth below! ¹² So now, ·promise [swear to] me ·before [or by] the Lord that you will show ·kindness [loyalty] to my family just as I showed ·kindness [loyalty] to you. Give me ·some proof [a sure sign; a solemn pledge] that you will do this.
