JOS 2:18 Behold, when we come 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.
JOS 2:19 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.
JOS 2:20 And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of
thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.

by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
JDG 3:2 Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know,
to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;
JDG 3:3 Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites,
and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from
mount Baalhermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
