Therefore Josue the son of Nun sent from Setim two men, to spy in secret, and said to them: Go, and view the Land, and the city of Jericho. Who going entered into the house of a woman, a harlot, named Rahab, and rested with her.THERFORE Iosue the sonne of Nun sent from Setim two men, to spie in secrete : and said to them: Goe, and viewe the Land, and the citie of Iericho. Who going entred into the house of a woman a harlot, named Rahab, and rested with her.Misit igitur Josue filius Nun de Setim duos viros exploratores in abscondito : et dixit eis : Ite, et considerate terram, urbemque Jericho. Qui pergentes ingressi sunt domum mulieris meretricis, nomine Rahab, et quieverunt apud eam.

²And it was told the king of Jericho, and said: Behold there are men come in hither by night of the children of Israel, to spy the Land.And it was told the king of Iericho, and said: Behold there are men come in hither by night of the children of Israel, to spie the Land.Nuntiatumque est regi Jericho, et dictum : Ecce viri ingressi sunt huc per noctem de filiis Israël, ut explorarent terram.

⁴And the woman taking the men, hid them, and said: I confess they came to me, but I knew not whence they were:And the woman taking the men, hid them, and said: I confesse they came to me, but I knew not whence they were:Tollensque mulier viros, abscondit, et ait : Fateor, venerunt ad me, sed nesciebam unde essent :

⁵and when the gate was a shutting in the dark, and they went out, I know not whither they be gone: pursue quickly, and you shall overtake them.and when the gate was a shutting in the darke, and they withal went out, I know not whither they be gone: pursue quickly, and you shal ouertake them.cumque porta clauderetur in tenebris, et illi pariter exierunt ; nescio quo abierunt : persequimini cito, et comprehendetis eos.

⁶But she made the men to go up into the roof of her house, and covered them with the stalk of flax, which was there.But she made the men to goe vp into the roofe of her house, and couered them with the stalke of flaxe, which was there.Ipsa autem fecit ascendere viros in solarium domus suæ, operuitque eos stipula lini, quæ ibi erat.

⁷And they that were sent, followed them, the way that leadeth to the ford of Jordan: and they being gone out, the gate forthwith was shut.And those that were sent, folowed them, the way that leadeth to the ford of Iordan: and they being gone out the gate forwith was shutte.Hi autem, qui missi fuerant, secuti sunt eos per viam, quæ ducit ad vadum Jordanis : illisque egressis statim porta clausa est.

⁸Neither were they yet asleep that lay hid, and behold the woman went up to them, and said:Neither were they yet a sleepe that lay hidde, and behold the woman went vp to them, and said:Necdum obdormierant qui latebant, et ecce mulier ascendit ad eos, et ait :

¹⁰We have heard that the Lord dried up the water of the Red sea at your entering, when you came out of Ægypt: and what things you did to the two kings of the Amorrheites, that were beyond Jordan, Sehon and Og, whom you slew.We haue heard that the Lord dried vp the water of the Redsea at your entring, when you came out of Ægypt: and what thinges you did to the two kinges of the Amorrheites, that were beyond Iordan: Sehon and Og, whom you flew.Audivimus quod siccaverit Dominus aquas maris Rubri ad vestrum introitum, quando egressi estis ex Ægypto : et quæ feceritis duobus Amorrhæorum regibus, qui erant trans Jordanem, Sehon et Og, quos interfecistis.

¹¹And hearing these things we greatly feared, and our heart fainted, neither did there remain spirit in us at your entering in: for the Lord your God he is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath.And hearing these thinges we greatly feared, and our hart fainted, neither did there remaine spirite in vs at your entring in: for the Lord your God he is God in heauen aboue, & in the earth beneth.Et hæc audientes pertimuimus, et elanguit cor nostrum, nec remansit in nobis spiritus ad introitum vestrum : Dominus enim Deus vester ipse est Deus in cælo sursum et in terra deorsum.

¹²Now therefore swear to me by the Lord, that as I have done mercy with you, so you also do with my father's house: and you give me a true sign,Now therfore sweare to me by the Lord, that as I haue done mercie with you, so you also doe with my fathers house: and you geue me a true signe,Nunc ergo jurate mihi per Dominum, ut quomodo ego misericordiam feci vobiscum, ita et vos faciatis cum domo patris mei : detisque mihi verum signum,

¹³that you save my father and mother, my brethren and sisters, and all things that be theirs, and deliver our souls from death.that you saue my father and mother, my brethren and sisters, and al thinges that be theirs, and deliuer our soules from death.ut salvetis patrem meum et matrem, et fratres ac sorores meas, et omnia quæ illorum sunt, et eruatis animas nostras a morte.

¹⁴Who answered her: Be our lives for you unto death, only if thou betray us not. And when our Lord shall have delivered us the land, we will do in thee mercy and truth.Who answered her: Be our liues for you vnto death, only if thou betray vs not. And when our Lord shal haue deliuered vs the land, we wil doe in thee mercie and truth.Qui responderunt ei : Anima nostra sit pro vobis in mortem, si tamen non prodideris nos : cumque tradiderit nobis Dominus terram, faciemus in te misericordiam et veritatem.

¹⁵She therefore did let them down by a cord out of a window: for her house joined fast to the wall.She therfore did let them downe by a corde out of a window: for her house ioyned fast to the wall.Demisit ergo eos per funem de fenestra : domus enim ejus hærebat muro.

¹⁶And she said to them: Go up to the mountains, lest perhaps they meet you returning: and there lie hid three days, till they return, and so you shall go on your way.And she said to them: Goe vp to the mountaines, lest perhaps they mete you returning: and there lie hid three daies, til they returne, and so you shal goe on your way.Dixitque ad eos : Ad montana conscendite, ne forte occurrant vobis revertentes : ibique latitate tribus diebus, donec redeant, et sic ibitis per viam vestram.

¹⁷Who said to her: We shall be from this oath wherewith thou hast sworn us,Who said to her: We shal be quite from this oath, wherwith thou hast sworne vs:Qui dixerunt ad eam : Innoxii erimus a juramento hoc, quo adjurasti nos :

¹⁸if we entering the Land, there be this cord a sign, and thou tie it in the window, by the which thou hast let us down: and gather thy father and mother, and brethren, and all thy kindred into thy house.if we entring the Land, there be this purple corde a signe, and thou tie it in the window, by the which thou hast let vs downe: and gather thy father and mother, and brethren and al thy kindred into thy house.si ingredientibus nobis terram, signum fuerit funiculus iste coccineus, et ligaveris eum in fenestra, per quam demisisti nos : et patrem tuum ac matrem, fratresque et omnem cognationem tuam congregaveris in domum tuam.

¹⁹He that shall go forth of the door of thy house, his blood shall be upon his head, and we shall be quit. But the blood of all that shall be with thee in the house, shall upon our head, if any man touch them.He that shal goe forth of the doore of thy house, his blood shal be vpon his head, and we shal be quitte. But the blood of al, that shal be with thee in the house, shal redound vpon our head, if any man touch them.Qui ostium domus tuæ egressus fuerit, sanguis ipsius erit in caput ejus, et nos erimus alieni. Cunctorum autem sanguis, qui tecum in domo fuerint, redundabit in caput nostrum, si eos aliquis tetigerit.

²⁰But if thou wilt betray us, and utter this talk abroad, we shall be quit from this oath, wherewith thou hast us.But if thou wilt betray vs, and vtter this talke abroade, we shal be quitte from this oath, wherwith thou hast adiured vs.Quod si nos prodere volueris, et sermonem istum proferre in medium, erimus mundi ab hoc juramento, quo adjurasti nos.

²¹And she answered: As you have spoken, so be it done, and dismissing them to go, she hung the purple cord in the window.And she answered: As you haue spoken, so be it done, and dismissing them to goe, she hong the purple corde in the window.Et illa respondit : Sicut locuti estis, ita fiat : dimittensque eos ut pergerent, appendit funiculum coccineum in fenestra.

²²But they walking came to the mountains, and tarried there three days, till they returned that pursued them: for seeking every way, they found them not.But they walking came to the mountaines, and taried there three daies, til they returned that pursewed them: for seeking euerie way, they found them not.Illi vero ambulantes pervenerunt ad montana, et manserunt ibi tres dies, donec reverterentur qui fuerant persecuti : quærentes enim per omnem viam, non repererunt eos.

²³Who being entered into the city, the discoverers returned, and came down from the mountain: and passing over Jordan, they came to Josue the son of Nun, and told him all things that had chanced to them,Who being entred into the citie, the discouerers returned, and came downe from the mountaine: and passing ouer Iordan, they came to Iosue the sonne of Nun, and told him al thinges that had chanced to them,Quibus urbem ingressis, reversi sunt, et descenderunt exploratores de monte : et, transmisso Jordane, venerunt ad Josue filium Nun, narraveruntque ei omnia quæ acciderant sibi,

²⁴and said: Our Lord hath delivered all this land into our hands, and all the inhabitants thereof are overthrown with fear.and said: Our Lord hath deliuered al this land into our handes, and al the inhabitantes therof are ouerthrowen with feare.atque dixerunt : Tradidit Dominus omnem terram hanc in manus nostras, et timore prostrati sunt cuncti habitatores ejus.
