14 And the men said to her, “Our lives for yours.[a] If you do not report this business of ours, we will show you loyalty and faithfulness[b] 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.”[c]

14 “Our lives for your lives!”(A) the men assured her. “If you don’t tell what we are doing, we will treat you kindly and faithfully(B) when the Lord gives us the land.”
15 So she let them down by a rope(C) through the window,(D) for the house she lived in was part of the city wall. 16 She said to them, “Go to the hills(E) so the pursuers(F) will not find you. Hide yourselves there three days(G) until they return, and then go on your way.”(H)
