Joshua 2:14 in Context — Joshua 2

12 Rogo-vos, pois, agora, me jureis pelo SENHOR, que como fiz misericórdia convosco, assim a fareis vós com a casa de meu pai, do qual me dareis um sinal certo;

13 E que salvareis a vida a meu pai e a minha mãe, e a meus irmãos e irmãs, e a todo o que for seu; e que livrareis nossas vidas da morte.

14 E eles lhe responderam: Nossa vida esteja pela vossa até a morte, se não denunciardes este nosso negócio; e quando o SENHOR houver nos dado a terra, nós a trataremos com misericórdia e fidelidade.

15 Então ela os fez descer com uma corda pela janela; porque sua casa estava à parede do muro, e ela vivia no muro.

16 E disse-lhes: Marchai-vos ao monte, porque os que foram atrás vós não vos encontrem; e estai escondidos ali três dias, até que os que vos seguem tenham voltado; e depois vos ireis vosso caminho.
