“And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.”
The men said to her, 'We will be released from this oath that you have made us swear to you if you do not tie this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and if you do not gather into your house your father and mother, your brothers, and all your family' — the spies now detail the conditions under which the covenant will be effective: the scarlet cord must be visible in the window, and Rahab's household must remain within the house. The scarlet cord becomes the sign and seal of the covenant.
