Joshua 2:19-21

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁹ If any of you go out of the doors of your house into the street, they shall be responsible for their own death, and we shall be innocent; but if a hand is laid upon any who are with you in the house, we shall bear the responsibility for their death. ²⁰ But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be released from this oath that you made us swear to you.’ ²¹ She said, ‘According to your words, so be it.’ She sent them away and they departed. Then she tied the crimson cord in the window.
