Joshua 2:19-21
Lexham English Bible
19 If anyone goes outside the doors of your house, they will be responsible for their own death,[a] and we will be innocent. Anyone who will be with you in the house, we will be responsible for their death[b] if a hand is laid on them.[c] 20 But if you report this business of ours, we will be released from your oath that you made us swear.” 21 And she said, “According to your word it will be.” Then she sent them away, and they went, and she tied the scarlet cord in the window.

Joshua 2:19-21
New International Version
19 If any of them go outside your house into the street, their blood will be on their own heads;(A) we will not be responsible. As for those who are in the house with you, their blood will be on our head(B) 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.(C)”
21 “Agreed,” she replied. “Let it be as you say.”
So she sent them away, and they departed. And she tied the scarlet cord(D) in the window.(E)
