Joshua 2:18-20
New International Version
18 unless, when we enter the land, you have tied this scarlet cord(A) in the window(B) through which you let us down, and unless you have brought your father and mother, your brothers and all your family(C) into your house. 19 If any of them go outside your house into the street, their blood will be on their own heads;(D) we will not be responsible. As for those who are in the house with you, their blood will be on our head(E) if a hand is laid on them. 20 But if you tell what we are doing, we will be released from the oath you made us swear.(F)”

English Standard Version
18 (A)Behold, when we come into the land, you shall tie this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, (B)and you shall gather into your house your father and mother, your brothers, and all your father's household. 19 Then if anyone goes out of the doors of your house into the street, (C)his blood shall be on his own head, and we shall be guiltless. But if a hand is laid on anyone who is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head. 20 But if you (D)tell this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless with respect to your oath that you have made us swear.”
