Joshua 2:17

17 qui dixerunt ad eam innoxii erimus a iuramento hoc quo adiurasti nos

Joshua 2:17 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 2:17

And the men said unto her
Some think that this discourse, which passed between the spies and her, was while in the house before she let them down, or otherwise they would have been in danger of being overheard, and so the whole affair discovered; but as it was on the other side of the house, and under the wall of the city, and without it, they might with the greater safety converse together:

we [will be] blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us
swear;
that is, they would most faithfully and punctually keep it, it should be sacred to them, and she should have no occasion to lay any blame upon them in the least.

Joshua 2:17 In-Context

15 dimisit ergo eos per funem de fenestra domus enim eius herebat muro

16 dixitque ad eos ad montana conscendite ne forte occurrant vobis revertentes ibique latete diebus tribus donec redeant et sic ibitis per viam vestram

17 qui dixerunt ad eam innoxii erimus a iuramento hoc quo adiurasti nos

18 si ingredientibus nobis terram signum fuerit funiculus iste coccineus et ligaveris eum in fenestra per quam nos dimisisti et patrem tuum ac matrem fratresque et omnem cognationem tuam congregaveris in domum tuam

19 qui ostium domus tuae egressus fuerit sanguis ipsius erit in caput eius et nos erimus alieni cunctorum autem sanguis qui tecum fuerint in domo redundabit in caput nostrum si eos aliquis tetigerit
