RAHAB'S
SCARLET 'RED' THREAD
Joshua 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.
Jos 2:21 And she said,
According unto your words, so be it. And she
sent
them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the
window.
Jos 6:17 And the city
shall be accursed, even it, and all
that are therein, to the
LORD: only Rahab the harlot [inn keeper's daughter] shall live,
she and all that are with her in the
house, because she hid the messengers that
we [Israelites] sent.
Jos 6:23 And the young
men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and
her
mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out
all her
kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.
Jos 6:25 And Joshua
saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that
she had;
and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day;
because she hid the messengers, which
Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
