NASB
""But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be free from the oath which you have made us swear.""
— Joshua 2:20, NASB
“And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.”
“But if thou utter this our business, then we shall be guiltless of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear. ”
“But if you talk about this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless of your oath which you have made us to swear."”
“If you should report what we’ve been up to, we are not bound by this oath you made us swear.””
“But if thou wilt betray us, and utter this word abroad, we shall be quit of this oath, which thou hast made us swear.”
“But if you say anything about our business here, then we will be free from the oath you have made us take.”
“And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.”
The men said to her, "We shall be free from this oath to you which you have made us swear,
unless, when we come into the land, you tie this cord of scarlet thread in the window through which you let us down, and gather to yourself into the house your father and your mother and your brothers and all your father's household.
"It shall come about that anyone who goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we shall be free; but anyone who is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head if a hand is laid on him.
"But if you tell this business of ours, then we shall be free from the oath which you have made us swear."
She said, "According to your words, so be it." So she sent them away, and they departed; and she tied the scarlet cord in the window.
They departed and came to the hill country, and remained there for three days until the pursuers returned. Now the pursuers had sought them all along the road, but had not found them.
Then the two men returned and came down from the hill country and crossed over and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and they related to him all that had happened to them.
