Three days in the hills. Worth it.

The camp at ShittimFirst seen Joshua 2:1

Back at camp. Laid low in the hills for three days first. Report for Joshua: the LORD's given us the whole land. They're terrified of us. All of them.

She made us swear to save her family, then let us down the wall on a rope from her window. Read the small print, though: red cord tied in that window, and everyone inside the house. Anyone out in the street is on their own.

Back across the river. Three days hiding in the hills first, till they gave up looking for us.

Told Joshua everything. The LORD really has handed us the whole land. They’re terrified of us over there.

The deal, since people keep asking why her family got out. 1. A red cord tied in the window she let us down from. 2. Her whole family inside that house. 3. Anyone who goes out the door into the street is on their own. 4. She doesn’t tell anyone about us.
