Conditions of the Covenant

Joshua 2:17-21

The men said to her, "We will not be guilty of violating the oath you made us swear, provided that

when we enter the land, you tie this piece of scarlet cord in the window you let us down from; and you gather together in your house your father, mother, brothers, and your father's entire household.

If anyone goes out the doors of your house into the street, he will be responsible for his own blood, and we will be guiltless. But everyone who stays with you in the house - we will be responsible for his blood if anyone lays a hand on him.

However, if you say a word about this business of ours, then we will be free of your oath that you made us swear."

"According to your words, so be it," she said, and sent them away. As they departed, she tied the scarlet cord in the window.
