The Promise to Rahab
15 Then she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was on the city wall, so that she was living on the wall. 16 And she said to them, “(A)Go to the hill country, so that the pursuers will not encounter you, and hide yourselves there for three days until the pursuers return. Then afterward you may go on your way.” 17 And the men said to her, “(B)We shall be exempt from this oath [a]to you which you have made us swear, 18 [b]unless, when we come into the land, you tie this cord of scarlet thread in the window through which you let us down, and (C)gather into your house your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household.

Joshua 2:15-18
New International Version
15 So she let them down by a rope(A) through the window,(B) for the house she lived in was part of the city wall. 16 She said to them, “Go to the hills(C) so the pursuers(D) will not find you. Hide yourselves there three days(E) until they return, and then go on your way.”(F)
17 Now the men had said to her, “This oath(G) you made us swear will not be binding on us 18 unless, when we enter the land, you have tied this scarlet cord(H) in the window(I) through which you let us down, and unless you have brought your father and mother, your brothers and all your family(J) into your house.
