Joshua 2:8-13

New International Version

⁸ Before the spies lay down for the night, she went up on the roof^{(A) 9} and said to them, “I know that the Lord has given you this land and that a great fear^(B) of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you. ¹⁰ We have heard how the Lord dried up^(C) the water of the Red Sea^[a] for you when you came out of Egypt,^(D) and what you did to Sihon and Og,^(E) the two kings of the Amorites^(F) east of the Jordan,^(G) whom you completely destroyed.^{[b](H) 11} When we heard of it, our hearts melted in fear^(I) and everyone’s courage failed^(J) because of you,^(K) for the Lord your God^(L) is God in heaven above and on the earth^(M) below.

¹² “Now then, please swear to me^(N) by the Lord that you will show kindness^(O) to my family, because I have shown kindness to you. Give me a sure sign^{(P) 13} that you will spare the lives of my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them^(Q)—and that you will save us from death.”
