Joshua 2:18-20
EasyEnglish Bible
18 We will soon attack this land. So tie this red string in the window that we came through.[a] Bring your father, your mother, your brothers and sisters and all your family into your house. 19 If any of them leaves your house, they may die. If that happens, we will not be guilty. We will only be guilty if our soldiers hurt anyone who is in your house. 20 But if you tell anyone about us, we do not have to do what we have promised to you.’

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)”
