The conditions of the oath

17And the men said to her, “We will be free from this oath of yours that you made us swear.”

18Look, when we come into the land, you shall tie this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and you shall gather into your house your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father's household.

19Anyone who goes out through the doors of your house, his blood will be on his own head, and we will be guiltless; but anyone who is with you in the house, his blood will be on our heads if a hand is laid on him.

20But if you tell this matter of ours, then we will be free from your oath that you made us swear.
