The midwives answered Pharaoh,“ Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women; they are vigorous and give birth before the midwives arrive.”

The midwives said to Pharaoh,“ Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife comes to them.”

“ The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women,” the midwives replied.“ They are more vigorous and have their babies so quickly that we cannot get there in time.”

The midwives said to Pharaoh,“ The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife can get to them.”

The midwives said to Pharaoh,“ Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife can get to them.”

And the midwives said to Pharaoh,“ Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are lively and give birth before the midwives come to them.”

And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwife come unto them.

David answered Ahimelek the priest,“ The king gave me a special job to do. He said to me,‘ I don’t want anyone to know what I’m sending you to do. So don’t say anything about it.’ I’ve told my men to meet me at a certain place.

But the woman had hidden the two men. She said,“ It’s true that the men came here. But I didn’t know where they had come from.They left at sunset, when it was time to close the city gate. I don’t know which way they went. Go after them quickly. You might catch up with them.”But in fact she had taken them up on the roof. There she had hidden them under some flax she had piled up.The king’s men left to hunt down the spies. They took the road that leads to where the Jordan River can be crossed. As soon as they had gone out of the city, the gate was shut.Rahab went up on the roof before the spies settled down for the night.She said to them,“ I know that the Lord has given you this land. We are very much afraid of you. Everyone who lives in this country is weak with fear because of you.We’ve heard how the Lord dried up the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt. We’ve heard what you did to Sihon and Og, the two Amorite kings. They ruled east of the Jordan River. You completely destroyed them.When we heard about it, we were terrified. Because of you, we aren’t brave anymore. The Lord your God is the God who rules in heaven above and on the earth below.“ Now then, please give me your word. Promise me in the name of the Lord that you will be kind to my family. I’ve been kind to you. Promise methat you will spare the lives of my father and mother. Spare my brothers and sisters. Also spare everyone in their families. Promise that you won’t put any of us to death.”So the men made a promise to her.“ If you save our lives, we’ll save yours,” they said.“ Just don’t tell anyone what we’re doing. Then we’ll be kind and faithful to you when the Lord gives us the land.”The house Rahab lived in was part of the city wall. So she let the spies down by a rope through the window.She said to them,“ Go up into the hills. The men chasing you won’t be able to find you. Hide yourselves there for three days until they return. Then you can go on your way.”The spies had said to her,“ You made us give our word. But we won’t keep our promiseunless you do what we say. When we enter the land, you must tie this bright red rope in the window. Tie it in the window you let us down through. Bring your father and mother into your house. Also bring in your brothers and everyone else in your family.None of you must go out into the street. If you do, anything that happens to you will be your own fault. We won’t be responsible. But if anyone hurts someone who is inside the house with you, it will be our fault. We will be responsible.Don’t tell anyone what we’re doing. If you do, we won’t have to keep the promise you asked us to make.”“ I agree,” Rahab replied.“ I’ll do as you say.” So she sent them away, and they left. Then she tied the bright red rope in the window.When the spies left, they went up into the hills. They stayed there for three days. By that time the men chasing them had searched all along the road. They couldn’t find them. So they returned.Then the two spies started back. They went down out of the hills. They went across the Jordan River. They came to Joshua, the son of Nun. They told him everything that had happened to them.They said,“ We’re sure the Lord has given the whole land over to us. All the people there are weak with fear because of us.”

The man’s wife got a covering and spread it out over the opening of the well. Then she scattered grain on the covering.

They asked the woman,“ Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” She answered,“ They went across the brook.” When the men looked around, they didn’t find anyone. So they returned to Jerusalem.
