Fearless Faith with Rahab

⁸Before the men fell asleep, she went up on the roof ⁹and said to them, “I know that the Lord has given you this land  and that the terror of you has fallen on us,  and everyone who lives in the land is panicking because of you. , ¹⁰For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt,  and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two Amorite kings you completely destroyed  across the Jordan. ¹¹When we heard this, we lost heart,  and everyone’s courage failed  because of you,  for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on earth below.  ¹²Now please swear to me by the Lord that you will also show kindness to my father’s family, because I showed kindness to you.  Give me a sure sign  ¹³that you will spare the lives of my father, mother, brothers, sisters, and all who belong to them, and save us from death.”

¹⁴The men answered her, “We will give our lives for yours. If you don’t report our mission, we will show kindness and faithfulness to you when the Lord gives us the land.”
