Joshua 2:15

The Promise to Rahab

14“Our lives for your lives!” the men agreed. “If you do not report our mission, we will show you kindness and faithfulness when the LORD gives us the land.”15Then Rahab let them down by a rope through the window, since the house where she lived was built into the wall of the city.16“Go to the hill country,” she said, “so that your pursuers will not find you. Hide yourselves there for three days until they have returned; then go on your way.”
