Joshua 2:16 in Context — Joshua 2
14 Ces hommes lui répondirent: Nous sommes prêts à mourir pour vous, si vous ne divulguez pas ce qui nous concerne; et quand l’Éternel nous donnera le pays, nous agirons envers toi avec bonté et fidélité.
15 Elle les fit descendre avec une corde par la fenêtre, car la maison qu’elle habitait était sur la muraille de la ville.
16 Elle leur dit: Allez du côté de la montagne, de peur que ceux qui vous poursuivent ne vous rencontrent; cachez-vous là pendant trois jours, jusqu’à ce qu’ils soient de retour; après cela, vous suivrez votre chemin.
17 Ces hommes lui dirent: Voici de quelle manière nous serons quittes du serment que tu nous as fait faire.
18 A notre entrée dans le pays, attache ce cordon de fil cramoisi à la fenêtre par laquelle tu nous fais descendre, et recueille auprès de toi dans la maison ton père, ta mère, tes frères, et toute la famille de ton père.
