Joshua 2:20

The Promise to Rahab

19If anyone goes out the door of your house into the street, his blood will be on his own head, and we will be innocent. But if a hand is laid on anyone with you in the house, his blood will be on our heads.20And if you report our mission, we will be released from the oath you made us swear.”
