17 ♥ 📝 And the men^H582 said^H559 unto her, We will be guiltless^H5355 of this thine oath^H7621 which thou hast made us to swear.^H7650

18 ♥ 📝 Behold, when we come^H935 into the land,^H776 thou shalt bind^H7194 this line^H8615 of scarlet^H8144 thread^H2339 in the window^H2474 which thou didst let us down by:^H3381 and thou shalt gather^H622 unto thee into the house^H1004 thy father,^H1 and thy mother,^H517 and thy brethren,^H251 and all thy father's^H1 household.^H1004

19 ♥ 📝 And it shall be, that whosoever^H834 shall go out^H3318 of the doors^H1817 of thy house^H1004 into the street,^H2351 his blood^H1818 shall be upon his head,^H7218 and we shall be guiltless:^H5355 and whosoever shall be with thee in the house,^H1004 his blood^H1818 shall be on our head,^H7218 if any hand^H3027 be upon him.

20 ♥ 📝 But if thou utter^H5046 this our business,^H1697 then we shall be guiltless^H5355 of thine oath^H7621 which thou hast made us to swear.^H7650
