12 So then please swear to me by Yahweh, because I have shown loyalty to you, and you will also show loyalty to my family. You must give me a sign of good faith,
13 and you will spare my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all that belongs to them; you will deliver our lives from death.”
14 And the men said to her, “Our lives for yours. If you do not report this business of ours, we will show you loyalty and faithfulness when Yahweh gives us the land.”
15 Then she lowered them with a rope through the window, as her house was on the outer side of the wall, and she was residing in the wall.
16 And she said to them, “Go to the mountain, so that the pursuers will not find you, and hide yourselves there three days until the pursuers return, and afterward you may go on your way.”
17 The men said to her, “We will be released from this oath of yours that you made us swear.
18 When we come to the land, you must tie this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and you must gather your father and mother, and your brothers, and your whole family to your house.
