²⁰But if you tell this business of ours, we shall be guiltless of your oath which you made us swear.

²¹And she said, According to your words, so it is. Then she sent them away and they departed; and she bound the ^[a]scarlet cord in the window.

Footnotes

Joshua 2:21 What the blood on the doorposts on the first Passover night in Egypt was to the houses of Israel (Exod. 12:13), the scarlet cord in the window was to the house of Rahab.
