Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἰησοῦς υἱὸς Ναυὴ ἐκ Σάττειν δύο νεανίσκους ¹² κατασκοπεῦσαι λέγων Ἀνόβητε καὶ ἴδετε τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν Ἰερειχώ. καὶ πορευθέντες εἰσήλθοσαν οἱ δύο νεανίσκοι εἰς Ἰερειχώ, καὶ εἰσήλθοσαν εἰς οἰκίον γυναικὸς πόρνης ᾗ ὄνομα Ῥαάβ, κα κατέλυσαν ἐκεῖ.

καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἰερειχὼ λέγοντες Εἰσπεπόρευνται ὦδε
ἄνδρες τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ κατασκοπεῦσαι τὴν γῆν.

καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ
βασιλεὺς Ἰερειχὼ καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς Ῥαὰβ λέγων Ἐξάγαγε τοὺς ἄνδρας τοὺς εἰσπεπορευμένους εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν σου τὴν νύκτα· κατασκοπεῦσαι γὰρ τὴν γῆν ἥκασιν.

καὶ λαβοῦσα ἡ γυνὴ τοὺς δύο ἄνδρας ἔκρυψεν
αὐτούς, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς λέγουσα Εἰδεληλύθασιν ἄσιν πρὸς μὲ οἱ ἄνδρες·

ὡς δὲ ἡ πύλη ἐκλείετο ἐν τῷ σκότει, καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες ἐξῆλθον. οὐκ ἐπίσταμαι
ποῦ πεπόρευνται· καταδιώξατε ὀπίσω αὐτῶν, εἰ καταλήμψεσθε αὐτούς.

αὕτη δὲ ἀνεβίβασεν αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τὸ δῶμα, κα ἔκρυψεν
αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ λινοκαλάμη τῇ ἐστοιβασμένῃ αὐτῇ ἐπὶ τοῦ δώματος.

καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες κατεδίωξαν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ὁδὸν τὴν ἐπὶ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου
ἐπὶ τὰς διαβάσεις, καὶ ἡ πύλη ἐκλείσθη.

καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐξήλθοσαν
οἱ διώκοντες ὀπίσω αὐτῶν, 8 καὶ αὐτοὶ δὲ πρὶν ἢ κοιμηθῆναι αὐτούς, αὕτη δὲ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸ δῶμα πρὸς αὐτοὺς

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς
Ἐπίσταμαι ὅτι δέδωκεν ὑμῖν Κύριος τὴν γῆν, ἐπιπέπτωκεν γὰρ ³ ὁ φόβος ὑμῶν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς. ¶

ἀκηκόαμεν γὰρ ὅτι κατεξήρανεν Κύριος ὁ
θεὸς τὴν ἐρυθρὰν θάλασσαν ἀπὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν, ὅτε ἐξεπορεύεσθε ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ὅσα ἐποίησεν τοῖς δυσὶ βασιλεῦσιν τῶν Ἀμορραίων οἳ ἦσαν πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, τῷ Σηὼν καὶ ὅγ’, οὓς ἐξωλεθρεύσατε αὐτούς.

καὶ ἀκούσαντες ἡμεῖς ἐξέστημεν τῆ καρδίᾳ ἡμῶν, καὶ
οὐκ ἵστη ἔτι πνεῦμα ἐν οὐδενὶ ἡμῶν ἀπὸ προσώπου ὑμῶν· ὅτι κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν ὃς ἐν οὐρανῷ ἄνω καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς κάτω.

καὶ
νῦν ὀμόσατέ μοι Κύριον τὸν θεόν, ὅτι ποιῶ ὑμῖν ἕλεος, ⁴
καὶ ὑμεῖς ἕλεος ἐν τῷ τοῦ τοῦ πατρός μου.

καὶ ζωγρήσατε τὸν ⁵ οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου, τὴν μητέρα μου καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφούς μου τὸν οἶκον μου καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶν αὐτοῖς, καὶ ἐξελεῖσθε τὴν
μου ἐκ θανάτου.

καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῇ οἱ ἄνδρες Ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν ἀνθ’ εἰς θάνατον. καὶ αὐτὴ εἶπεν ὃς ὂν παραδοῖ Κύριος ὑμῖν τὴν πόλιν,
ποιήσετε εἰς ἐμὲ ἕλεος καὶ ἀλήθειαν.

καὶ κατεχάλασεν αὐτοὺς διὰ § F
τῆς θυρίδος·

§ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Εἰς τὴν ὀρεινὴν ἀπέλθετε, μὴ συναντήσωσιν ὑμῖν οἱ καταδιώκοντες, καὶ κρυβήσεσθε ἐκεῖ τρεῖς ἡμέας ἕως ἀν’ ἀποστρέψωσιν οἱ καταδιώκοντες ὀπίσω ὑμῶν, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα
ἀπελεύσεσθε εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν ὑμῶν.

καὶ εἶπαν οἱ ἄνδρες πρὸς αὐτὴν
Ἀθῷοί ἐσμεν τῷ ὅρκῳ σου τούτῳ·

ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς εἰσπορευόμεθα εἰς μέρος τῆς πόλεως, καὶ θήσεις τὸ σημεῖον, τὸ σπαρτίον τὸ κόκκινον τοῦτο ἐκδήσεις εἰς τὴν θυρίδα δι’ ἧς κατεβίβασας ἡμᾶς δι’ αὐτῆς, τὸν δὲ πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου καὶ πάντα τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός σου συνάξεις πρὸς σεαυτὴν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν σου.

καὶ ἔσται πᾶς ὃς ἄν ἐξέλθῃ τὴν θύραν τῆς οἰκίας σου ἑαυτῷ ἔσται, ἡμεῖς δὲ ἀθῷοι τῷ ὅρκῳ σου τούτῳ· καὶ ὅσοι
μετὰ σοῦ ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ σου, ἡμεῖς ἔνοχοι ἐσόμεθα.

ἐὰν δέ τις ἀδικήσῃ ἢ καὶ ἀποκαλύψῃ τοὺς λόγους ἡμῶν τούτους, ἐσόμεθα
τῷ ὅρκῳ σου τούτῳ.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα ὑμῶν
καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν αὐτούς.

καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ ἤλθοσαν εἰς τὴν ὀρεινήν, καὶ κατέμειναν ἐκεῖ τρεῖς ἡμέρας· καὶ ἐξεζήτησαν οἱ καταδιώκοντες
πάσας τὰς ὁδούς, καὶ οὐχ εὕροσαν.

καὶ ὑπέστρεψαν οἱ δύο νεανίσκοι καὶ κατέβησαν ἐκ τοῦ ὄρους, καὶ διέβησαν πρὸς Ἰησοῦν υἱὸν
Ναυή, καὶ διηγήσαντο αὐτῷ πάντα τὰ συμβεβηκότα αὐτοῖς.

καὶ πρὸς Ἰησοῦν ὅτι Παρέδωκεν Κύριος πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ἐν χειρὶ ν, καὶ κατέπτηκεν πᾶς ὁ κατοικῶν τὴν γῆν ἐκείνην ἀφ’ ἡμῶν.

Translations (1)

Joshua Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 2 focus

Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men as spies secretly, saying, Go, view the land, and Jericho. They went and came into the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and lay there.

It was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in here tonight of the children of Israel to search out the land.

The king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men who are come to you, who have entered into your house; for they have come to search out all the land.

The woman took the two men, and hid them; and she said, Yes, the men came to me, but I didn’t know whence they were:

and it happened about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out; where the men went I don’t know: pursue after them quickly; for you will overtake them.

But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.

The men pursued after them the way to the Jordan to the fords: and as soon as those who pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.

Before they were laid down, she came up to them on the roof;

and she said to the men, I know that Yahweh has given you the land, and that the fear of you is fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.

For we have heard how Yahweh dried up the water of the Red Sea before you, when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and to Og, whom you utterly destroyed.

As soon as we had heard it, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more spirit in any man, because of you: for Yahweh your God, he is God in heaven above, and on earth beneath.

Now therefore, please swear to me by Yahweh, since I have dealt kindly with you, that you also will deal kindly with my father’s house, and give me a true token;

and that you will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and will deliver our lives from death.

The men said to her, Our life for yours, if you don’t utter this our business; and it shall be, when Yahweh gives us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you.

Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was on the side of the wall, and she lived on the wall.

She said to them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers light on you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may you go your way.

The men said to her, We will be guiltless of this your oath which you have made us to swear.

Behold, when we come into the land, you shall bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which you did let us down by: and you shall gather to you into the house your father, and your mother, and your brothers, and all your father’s household.

It shall be, that whoever shall go out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his head, and we shall be guiltless: and whoever shall be with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be on him.

But if you utter this our business, then we shall be guiltless of your oath which you have made us to swear.

She said, According to your words, so be it. She sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.

They went, and came to the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but didn’t find them.

Then the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had befallen them.

They said to Joshua, Truly Yahweh has delivered into our hands all the land; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land do melt away before us.
