1:15. Until the Lord give rest to your brethren, as he hath given you,
and they also possess the land which the Lord your God will give them:
and so you shall return into the land of your possession, and you shall
dwell in it, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the
Jordan, toward the rising of the sun.
1:16. And they made answer to Josue, and said: All that thou hast
commanded us, we will do: and whither soever thou shalt send us, we will
go.
1:17. As we obeyed Moses in all things, so will we obey thee also: only
be the Lord thy God with thee, as he was with Moses.
1:18. He that shall gainsay thy mouth, and not obey all thy words, that
thou shalt command him, let him die: only take thou courage, and do
manfully.
Josue Chapter 2
Two spies are sent to Jericho, who are received and concealed by Rahab.
2:1. And Josue, the son of Nun, sent from Setim two men, to spy
secretly: and said to them: Go, and view the land, and the city of
Jericho. They went, and entered into the house of a woman that was a
harlot, named Rahab, and lodged with her.
2:2. And it was told the king of Jericho, and was said: Behold there are
men come in hither, by night, of the children of Israel, to spy the
land.
2:3. And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying: Bring forth the men
that came to thee, and are entered into thy house: for they are spies,
and are come to view all the land.
2:4. And the woman taking the men, hid them, and said: I confess they
came to me, but I knew not whence they were:
2:5. And at the time of shutting the gate in the dark, they also went
out together. I know not whither they are gone: pursue after them
quickly, and you will overtake them.
2:6. But she made the men go up to the top of her house, and covered
them with the stalks of flax, which was there.
2:7. Now they that were sent, pursued after them, by the way that
leadeth to the fords of the Jordan: and as soon as they were gone out,
the gate was presently shut.
2:8. The men that were hid were not yet asleep, when behold the woman
went up to them, and said:
2:9. I know that the Lord hath given this land to you: for the dread of
you is fallen upon us, and all the inhabitants of the land have lost all
strength.
2:10. We have heard that the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea, at
your going in, when you came out of Egypt: and what things you did to
the two kings of the Amorrhites, that were beyond the Jordan, Sehon and
Og whom you slew.
2:11. And at the hearing these things, we were affrighted, and our heart
fainted away, neither did there remain any spirit in us, at your coming
in: for the Lord your God he is God in heaven above, and in the earth
beneath.
2:12. Now, therefore, swear ye to me by the Lord, that as I have shewed
mercy to you, so you also will shew mercy to my father's house: and give
me a true token.
2:13. That you will save my father and mother, my brethren and sisters,
and all things that are theirs, and deliver our souls from death.
2:14. They answered her: Be our lives for you unto death, only if thou
betray us not. And when the Lord shall have delivered us the land, we
will shew thee mercy and truth.
2:15. Then she let them down with a cord out of a window: for her house
joined close to the wall.
2:16. And she said to them: Get ye up to the mountains, lest perhaps
they meet you as they return: and there lie ye hid three days, till they
come back, and so you shall go on yonr way.
