Josh 2:1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.

wayyē’āmar ləmeleḵ yərîḥô lē’mōr hinnēh ’ănāšîm bā’û hēnnāh hallayəlāh mibbənê yiśərā’ēl laḥəpōr ’eṯ-hā’āreṣ

Josh 2:2 And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country.

wayyišəlaḥ meleḵ yərîḥô ’el-rāḥāḇ lē’mōr hôṣî’î hā’ănāšîm habbā’îm ’ēlayiḵ ’ăšer-bā’û ləḇêṯēḵ kî laḥəpōr ’eṯ-kāl-hā’āreṣ bā’û

Josh 2:3 And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country.

wattiqqaḥ hā’iššāh ’eṯ-šənê hā’ănāšîm wattiṣəpənô wattō’mer kēn bā’û ’ēlay hā’ănāšîm wəlō’ yāḏa‘ətî mē’ayin hēmmāh

Josh 2:4 And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were:

wayəhî hašša‘ar lisəgôr baḥōšeḵ wəhā’ănāšîm yāṣā’û lō’ yāḏa‘ətî ’ānāh hāləḵû hā’ănāšîm riḏəp̱û mahēr ’aḥărêhem kî ṯaśśîg̱ûm

Josh 2:5 And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.

wəhî’ he‘ĕlāṯam haggāg̱āh wattiṭəmənēm bəp̱išətê hā‘ēṣ hā‘ăruḵôṯ lāhh ‘al-haggāg̱

Josh 2:6 But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.

wəhā’ănāšîm rāḏəp̱û ’aḥărêhem dereḵ hayyarədēn ‘al hamma‘əbərôṯ wəhašša‘ar sāg̱ārû ’aḥărê ka’ăšer yāṣə’û hārōḏəp̱îm ’aḥărêhem

Josh 2:7 And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.

wəhēmmāh ṭerem yišəkāḇûn wəhî’ ‘āləṯāh ‘ălêhem ‘al-haggāg̱

Josh 2:8 And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;

wattō’mer ’el-hā’ănāšîm yāḏa‘ətî kî-nāṯan yəhwāh lāḵem ’eṯ-hā’āreṣ wəḵî-nāp̱əlāh ’êmaṯəḵem ‘ālênû wəḵî nāmōg̱û kāl-yōšəḇê hā’āreṣ mippənêḵem

Josh 2:9 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.

kî šāma‘ənû ’ēṯ ’ăšer-hôḇîš yəhwāh ’eṯ-mê yam-sûp̱ mippənêḵem bəṣē’ṯəḵem mimmiṣərāyim wa’ăšer ‘ăśîṯem lišənê maləḵê hā’ĕmōrî ’ăšer bə‘ēḇer hayyarədēn ləsîḥōn ûlə‘ôg̱ ’ăšer heḥĕramətem ’ôṯām

Josh 2:10 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.

wannišəma‘ wayyimmas ləḇāḇēnû wəlō’-qāmāh ‘ôḏ rûaḥ bə’îš mippənêḵem kî yəhwāh ’ĕlōhêḵem hû’ ’ĕlōhîm baššāmayim mimma‘al wə‘al-hā’āreṣ mittāḥaṯ

Josh 2:11 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.

wə‘attāh hiššāḇə‘û-nā’ lî bayhwāh kî-‘āśîṯî ‘immāḵem ḥāseḏ wa‘ăśîṯem gam-’attem ‘im-bêṯ ’āḇî ḥeseḏ ûnəṯattem lî ’ôṯ ’ĕmeṯ

Josh 2:12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token:

wəhaḥăyiṯem wəhaḥăyiṯem ’eṯ-’eṯ-’āḇî ’āḇî wə’eṯ-wə’eṯ-’immî ’immî wə’eṯ-wə’eṯ-’aḥay ’aḥay ’aḥəyôṯay wə’eṯ-’aḥəyôṯay wə’ēṯ wə’ēṯ kāl-’ăšer kāl-’ăšer lāhem wəhiṣṣalətem lāhem wəhiṣṣalətem ’eṯ-’eṯ-nap̱əšōṯênû mimmāweṯ nap̱əšōṯênû mimmāweṯ

Josh 2:13 And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.

Josh 2:14 And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.

wattôriḏēm baḥeḇel bə‘aḏ haḥallôn kî ḇêṯāhh bəqîr haḥômāh ûḇaḥômāh hî’ yôšāḇeṯ

Josh 2:15 Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.

wattō’mer lāhem hāhārāh llēḵû pen-yip̱əgə‘û ḇāḵem hārōḏəp̱îm wənaḥəbēṯem šāmmāh šəlōšeṯ yāmîm ‘aḏ šôḇ hārōḏəp̱îm wə’aḥar tēləḵû ləḏarəkəḵem

Josh 2:16 And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.

wayyō’mərû ’ēleyhā hā’ănāšîm nəqiyyim ’ănaḥənû miššəḇu‘āṯēḵ hazzeh ’ăšer hišəba‘ətānû

Josh 2:17 And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.

hinnēh ’ănaḥənû ḇā’îm bā’āreṣ ’eṯ-tiqəwaṯ ḥûṭ haššānî hazzeh tiqəšərî baḥallôn ’ăšer hôraḏətēnû ḇô wə’eṯ-’āḇîḵ wə’eṯ-’immēḵ wə’eṯ-’aḥayiḵ wə’ēṯ kāl-bêṯ ’āḇîḵ ta’asəp̱î ’ēlayiḵ habbāyəṯāh

Josh 2:18 Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee.

wəhāyāh kōl ’ăšer-yēṣē’ middaləṯê ḇêṯēḵ haḥûṣāh dāmô ḇərō’šô wa’ănaḥənû nəqiyyim wəḵōl ’ăšer yihəyeh ’ittāḵ babbayiṯ dāmô ḇərō’šēnû ’im-yāḏ tihəyeh-bô

Josh 2:19 And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.

wə’im-taggîḏî ’eṯ-dəḇārēnû zeh wəhāyînû nəqiyyim miššəḇu‘āṯēḵ ’ăšer hišəba‘ətānû

Josh 2:20 And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.

wattō’mer kəḏiḇərêḵem ken-hû’ wattəšalləḥēm wayyēlēḵû wattiqəšōr ’eṯ-tiqəwaṯ haššānî baḥallôn

Josh 2:21 And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.

wayyēləḵû wayyāḇō’û hāhārāh wayyēšəḇû šām šəlōšeṯ yāmîm ‘aḏ-šāḇû hārōḏəp̱îm wayəḇaqəšû hārōḏəp̱îm bəḵāl-haddereḵ wəlō’ māṣā’û

Josh 2:22 And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.

wayyāšuḇû šənê hā’ănāšîm wayyērəḏû mēhāhār wayya‘aḇərû wayyāḇō’û ’el-yəhôšua‘ bin-nûn wayəsappərû-lô ’ēṯ kāl-hammōṣə’ôṯ ’ôṯām

Josh 2:23 So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell them:

wayyō’mərû ’el-yəhôšua‘ kî-nāṯan yəhwāh bəyāḏēnû ’eṯ-kāl-hā’āreṣ wəg̱am-nāmōg̱û kāl-yōšəḇê hā’āreṣ mippānênû

Josh 2:24 And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.
