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?
14And the men said to her, Our life for yours if you keep our business secret; and when the Lord has given us the land, we will keep faith and be kind to you.
15Then she let them down from the window by a cord, for the house where she was living was on the town wall.
16And she said to them, Get away into the hill-country, or the men who have gone after you will overtake you; keep yourselves safe there for three days, till the searchers have come back, and then go on your way.
17And the men said to her, We will only be responsible for this oath which you have made us take,
