Joshua 2:18 in Context — Joshua 2

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.

17 E eles lhe disseram: Nós seremos desobrigados deste juramento com que nos hás conjurado.

18 Eis que, quando nós entrarmos na terra, tu atarás este cordão de escarlate à janela pela qual nos fizeste descer: e tu juntarás em tua casa teu pai e tua mãe, teus irmãos e toda a família de teu pai.

19 Qualquer um que sair fora das portas de tua casa, seu sangue será sobre sua cabeça, e nós sem culpa. Mas qualquer um que estiver em casa contigo, seu sangue será sobre nossa cabeça, se mão o tocar.

20 E se tu denunciares este nosso negócio, nós seremos desobrigados deste teu juramento com que nos fizeste jurar.
