17 The men said to her, “We will be free from this oath you made us swear, 18 unless, when we enter the land, you tie this scarlet cord to the window through which you let us down. Bring your father, mother, brothers, and all your father’s family into your house. 19 If anyone goes out the doors of your house, his blood will be on his own head,(A) and we will be innocent. But if anyone with you in the house should be harmed,[a] his blood will be on our heads. 20 And if you report our mission, we are free from the oath you made us swear.”
