19 And it shall come about that anyone who goes out of the doors of your house outside will have [a]his blood on his own head, and we will be innocent; but anyone who is with you in the house, (A)his blood will be on our head if a hand is laid on him. 20 But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be exempt from the oath which you have made us swear.” 21 She then said, “According to your words, so be it.” So she sent them away, and they departed; and she tied the scarlet cord in the window.
