Joshua 2:19 in Context — Joshua 2

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.

19 Si quelqu’un d’eux sort de la porte de ta maison pour aller dehors, son sang retombera sur sa tête, et nous en serons innocents; mais si on met la main sur l’un quelconque de ceux qui seront avec toi dans la maison, son sang retombera sur notre tête.

20 Et si tu divulgues ce qui nous concerne, nous serons quittes du serment que tu nous as fait faire.

21 Elle répondit: Qu’il en soit selon vos paroles. Elle prit ainsi congé d’eux, et ils s’en allèrent. Et elle attacha le cordon de cramoisi à la fenêtre.
