7So the men went after them on the road to Jordan as far as the river-crossing: and when they had gone out after them, the door into the town was shut.
8And before the men went to rest, she came up to them on the roof,
9And said to them, It is clear to me that the Lord has given you the land, and that the fear of you has come on us;
10For we have had news of how the Lord made the Red Sea dry before you when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, on the other side of Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you gave up to the curse.
11And because of this news, our hearts became like water, and there was no more spirit in any of us because of you; for the Lord your God is God in heaven on high and here on earth.
12So now, will you give me your oath by the Lord, that, because I have been kind to you, you will be kind to my father's house,
13And that you will keep safe my father and mother and my brothers and sisters and all they have, so that death may not come on us?
