And before they were laid down； she came up unto them upon the roof；
2：9对他们说，我知道耶和华已经把这地赐给你们，并且因你们的缘故我们都惊慌了。这地的一切居民在你们面前心都消化了。
And she said unto the men； I know that the LORD hath given you the land； and that your terror is fallen upon us； and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you。
2：10因为我们听见你们出埃及的时候，耶和华怎样在你们前面使红海的水乾了，并且你们怎样待约旦河东的两个亚摩利王西宏和噩，将他们尽行毁灭。
For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you； when ye came out of Egypt； and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites； that were on the other side Jordan； Sihon and Og； whom ye utterly destroyed。
2：11我们一听见这些事，心就消化了。因你们的缘故，并无一人有胆气。耶和华你们的神本是上天下地的神。
And as soon as we had heard these things； our hearts did melt； neither did there remain any more courage in any man； because of you： for the LORD your God； he is God in heaven above； and in earth beneath。
2：12现在我既是恩待你们，求你们指着耶和华向我起誓，也要恩待我父家，并给我一个实在的证据，
Now therefore； I pray you； swear unto me by the LORD； since I have shewed you kindness； that ye will also shew kindness unto my father's house； and give me a true token：
2：13要救活我的父母，弟兄，姊妹，和一切属他们的，拯救我们性命不死。
And that ye will save alive my father； and my mother； and my brethren； and my sisters； and all that they have； and deliver our lives from death。
2：14二人对她说，你若不泄漏我们这件事，我们情愿替你们死。耶和华将这地赐给我们的时候，我们必以慈爱诚实待你。
And the men answered her； Our life for yours； if ye utter not this our business。 And it shall be； when the LORD hath given us the land； that we will deal kindly and truly with thee。
2：15于是女人用绳子将二人从窗户里缒下去。因她的房子是在城墙边上，她也住在城墙上。
Then she let them down by a cord through the window： for her house was upon the town wall； and she dwelt upon the wall。
2：16她对他们说，你们且往山上去，恐怕追赶的人碰见你们。要在那里隐藏三天，等追赶的人回来，然后才可以走你们的路。
And she said unto them； Get you to the mountain； lest the pursuers meet you； and hide yourselves there three days； until the pursuers be returned： and afterward may ye go your way。
2：17二人对她说，你要这样行。不然，你叫我们所起的誓就与我们无干了。
And the men said unto her； We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear。
2：18我们来到这地的时候，你要把这条朱红线绳系在缒我们下去的窗户上，并要使你的父母，弟兄，和你父的全家都聚集在你家中。
Behold； when we e into the land； thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by： and thou shalt bring thy father； and thy mother； and thy brethren； and all thy father's household； home unto thee。
2：19凡出了你家门往街上去的，他的罪（罪原文作血）必归到自己的头上，与我们无干了。凡在你家里的，若有人下手害他，流他血的罪就归到我们的头上。
And it shall be； that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street； his blood shall be upon his head； and we will be guiltless： and whosoever shall be with thee in the house； his blood shall be on our head； if any hand be upon him。
2：20你若泄漏我们这件事，你叫我们所起的誓就与我们无干了。
And if thou utter this our business； then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear。
2：21女人说，照你们的话行吧。于是打发他们去了，又把朱红线绳系在窗户上。
And she said； According unto your words； so be it。 And she sent them away； and they departed： and she bound the scarlet line in the window。
2：22二人到山上，在那里住了三天，等着追赶的人回去了。追赶的人一路找他们，却找不着。
And they went； and came unto the mountain； and abode there three days； until the pursuers were returned： and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way； but found them not。
2：23二人就下山回来，过了河，到嫩的儿子约书亚那里，向他述说所遭遇的一切事。
So the two men returned； and descended from the mountain； and passed over； and came to Joshua the son of Nun； and told him all things that befell them：
2：24又对约书亚说，耶和华果然将那全地交在我们手中。那地的一切居民在我们面前心都消化了。
And they said unto Joshua； Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land； for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us。
旧约 约书亚记（Joshua） 第 3 章 （ 本篇共有 24 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
3：1约书亚清早起来，和以色列众人都离开什亭，来到约旦河，就住在那里，等候过河。
And Joshua rose early in the morning； and they removed from Shittim； and came to Jordan； he and all the children of Israel； and lodged there before they passed over。
3：2过了三天，官长走遍营中，
And it came to pass after three days； that the officers went through the host；
3：3吩咐百姓说，你们看见耶和华你们神的约柜，又见祭司利未人抬着，就要离开所住的地方，跟着约柜去。
And they manded the people； saying； When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God； and the priests the Levites bearing it； then ye shall remove from your place； and go after it。
3：4只是你们和约柜相离要量二千肘，不可与约柜相近，使你们知道所当走的路，因为这条路你们向来没有走过。
Yet there shall be a space between you and it； about two thousand cubits by measure： e not near unto it； that ye may know the way by which ye must go： for ye have not passed this way heretofore。
3：5约书亚吩咐百姓说，你们要自洁，因为明天耶和华必在你们中间行奇事。
And Joshua said unto the people； Sanctify yourselves： for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you。
3：6约书亚又吩咐祭司说，你们抬起约柜，在百姓前头过去。于是他们抬起约柜，在百姓前头走。
And Joshua spake unto the priests； saying； Take up the ark of the covenant； and pass over before the people。 And they took up the ark of the covenant； and went before the people。
3：7耶和华对约书亚说，从今日起，我必使你在以色列众人眼前尊大，使他们知道我怎样与摩西同在，也必照样与你同在。
And the LORD said unto Joshua； This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel； that they may know that； as I was with Moses； so I will be with thee。
3：8你要吩咐抬约柜的祭司说，你们到了约旦河的水边上，就要在约旦河水里站住。
And thou shalt mand the priests that bear the ark of the covenant； saying； When ye are e to the brink of the water of Jordan； ye shall stand still in Jordan。
3：9约书亚对以色列人说，你们近前来，听耶和华你们神的话。
And Joshua said unto the children of Israel； e hither； and hear the words of the LORD your God。
3：10*
And Joshua said； Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you； and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites； and the Hittites； and the Hivites； and the Perizzites； and the Girgashites； and the Amorites； and the Jebusites。
3：11约书亚说，看哪，普天下主的约柜必在你们前头过去，到约旦河里，因此你们就知道在你们中间有永生神。并且他必在你们面前赶出迦南人，赫人，希未人，比利洗人，革迦撒人，亚摩利人，耶布斯人。
Behold； the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan。
3：12你们现在要从以色列支派中拣选十二个人，每支派一人，
Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel； out of every tribe a man。
3：13等到抬普天下主耶和华约柜的祭司把脚站在约旦河水里，约旦河的水，就是从上往下流的水，必然断绝，立起成垒。
And it shall e to pass； as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD； the LORD of all the earth； shall rest in the waters of Jordan； that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that e down from above； and they shall stand upon an heap。
3：14百姓离开帐棚要过约旦河的时候，抬约柜的祭司乃在百姓的前头。
And it came to pass； when the people removed from their tents； to pass over Jordan； and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people；
3：15他们到了约旦河，脚一入水（原来约旦河水在收割的日子涨过两岸），
And as they that bare the ark were e unto Jordan； and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water； （for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest；）
3：16那从上往下流的水便在极远之地，撒拉但旁的亚当城那里停住，立起成垒。那往亚拉巴的海，就是盐海，下流的水全然断绝。于是百姓在耶利哥的对面过去了。
That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam； that is beside Zaretan： and those that came down toward the sea of the plain； even the salt sea； failed； and were cut off： and the people passed over right against Jericho。
3：17抬耶和华约柜的祭司在约旦河中的乾地上站定，以色列众人都从乾地上过去，直到国民尽都过了约旦河。
And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan； and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground； until all the people were passed clean over Jordan。
旧约 约书亚记（Joshua） 第 4 章 （ 本篇共有 24 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
4：1国民尽都过了约旦河，耶和华就对约书亚说，
And it came to pass； when all the people were clean passed over Jordan； that the LORD spake unto Joshua； saying；
4：2你从民中要拣选十二个人，每支派一人，
Take you twelve men out of the people； out of every tribe a man；
4：3吩咐他们说，你们从这里，从约旦河中，祭司脚站定的地方，取十二块石头带过去，放在你们今夜要住宿的地方。
And mand ye them； saying； Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan； out of the place where the priests' feet st
