The scarlet line Rahab ties in the window

라합이 창문에 맨 붉은 줄

Joshua 2:15–21: she (Rahab, whom the Korean Revised Version names here and at 2:16 and 2:21) lets the men down by a cord through the window, for her house is on the side of the wall, and she lives on the wall. She says to them, “Go to the mountain, lest the pursuers find you. Hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned. Afterward, you may go your way.” The men say to her, “We will be guiltless of this your oath which you’ve made us to swear. Behold, when we come into the land, tie this line of scarlet thread in the window which you used to let us down. Gather to yourself into the house your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household. It shall be that whoever goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood will be on his head, and we will be guiltless. Whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand is on him. But if you talk about this business of ours, then we shall be guiltless of your oath which you’ve made us to swear.” She says, “Let it be as you have said.” She sends them away, and they depart. Then she ties the scarlet line in the window.
