Joshua 2:21-23

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²¹And she said, According to your words, so it is. Then she sent them away and they departed; and she bound the ^[a]scarlet cord in the window.

²²They left and went to the mountain and stayed there three days, until the pursuers returned, who had searched all along the way without finding them.

²³So the two men descended from the mountain, passed over [the Jordan], and came to Joshua son of Nun, and told him all that had befallen them.

Footnotes

Joshua 2:21 What the blood on the doorposts on the first Passover night in Egypt was to the houses of Israel (Exod. 12:13), the scarlet cord in the window was to the house of Rahab. Her sinful years of ignorance God ignored (Acts 17:30, 31); she became an ancestress, as did Ruth, of David and of Jesus Christ (Matt. 1:1, 5, 6).
