06:002:019 And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of
thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we
will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his
blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.
06:002:020 And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of
thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
06:002:021 And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she
sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in
the window.
06:002:022 And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there
three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought
them throughout all the way, but found them not.
06:002:023 So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain,
and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all
things that befell them:
06:002:024 And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered
into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the
country do faint because of us.
06:003:001 And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from
Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and
lodged there before they passed over.
06:003:002 And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went
through the host;
06:003:003 And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark
of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites
bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.
06:003:004 Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two
thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the
way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
06:003:005 And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to
morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
06:003:006 And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark
of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the
ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
06:003:007 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to
magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I
was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
06:003:008 And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the
covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan,
ye shall stand still in Jordan.
06:003:009 And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither,
and hear the words of the LORD your God.
06:003:010 And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is
among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the
Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and
the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
06:003:011 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth
passeth over before you into Jordan.
06:003:012 Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of
Israel, out of every tribe a man.
