Joshua 2:17-20

New King James Version

¹⁷ So the men said to her: “We will be ^(A)blameless^[a] of this oath of yours which you have made us swear, ^18 (B)unless, when we come into the land, you bind this line of scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, ^(C)and unless you ^[b]bring your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household to your own home. ¹⁹ So it shall be that whoever goes outside the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we will be ^[c]guiltless. And whoever is with you in the house, ^(D)his ^[d]blood shall be on our head if a hand is laid on him. ²⁰ And if you tell this business of ours, then we will be ^[e]free from your oath which you made us swear.”
