Joshua 2:14

And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.

And the men {H582} answered {H559} her, Our life {H5315} for yours {H4191}, if ye utter {H5046} not this our business {H1697}. And it shall be, when the LORD {H3068} hath given {H5414} us the land {H776}, that we will deal {H6213} kindly {H2617} and truly {H571} with thee.

The men replied to her, "Our lives are certainly worth yours, provided you don't betray our mission. So when ADONAI gives us the land, we will treat you kindly and in good faith."

“Our lives for your lives!” the men agreed. “If you do not report our mission, we will show you kindness and faithfulness when the LORD gives us the land.”

And the men said unto her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business; and it shall be, when Jehovah giveth us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
