Joshua 2:9-11
Contemporary English Version
9 I know that the Lord has given Israel this land. Everyone shakes with fear because of you. 10 (A) We heard how the Lord dried up the Red Sea[a] so you could leave Egypt. And we heard how you destroyed Sihon and Og, those two Amorite kings east of the Jordan River. 11 We know that the Lord your God rules heaven and earth, and we've lost our courage and our will to fight.

- 2.10 Red Sea: Hebrew yam suph, “Sea of Reeds,” one of the marshes or fresh water lakes near the eastern part of the Nile Delta. This identification is based on Exodus 13.17—14.9, which lists the towns on the route of the Israelites before crossing the sea. In the Greek translation of the Scriptures made about 200 b.c., the “Sea of Reeds” was named “Red Sea.”
Joshua 2:9-11
King James Version
9 And she said unto the men, I know that the Lord hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
10 For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
11 And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the Lord your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.

9 and said to the men, “I know that the Lord has given you the land, (A)and that the fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land (B)melt away before you. 10 For we have heard how the Lord (C)dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and (D)what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to (E)Sihon and Og, whom you devoted to destruction.[a] 11 And (F)as soon as we heard it, (G)our hearts melted, and there was no spirit left in any man because of you, for (H)the Lord your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.
