If not, we ·cannot be responsible for keeping [will be free from] this oath you have made us swear. ¹⁸ When we return to this land, you must tie this ·red [scarlet] rope in the window through which you let us down. Bring your father, mother, brothers, and all your ·family [^Lfather’s house] into your house. ¹⁹ If anyone leaves your house and is killed, ·it is his own fault [^Lhis blood is on his head].
