OET (OET-RV) and spare my parents and my siblings and their families from death.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:1–24 Joshua sent men to explore Jericho secretly

Joshua sent two men to look at Jericho, a town in the land of Canaan. A woman of Jericho called Rahab hid the two men so that the king’s soldiers could not find them. She did this because she believed that Yahweh would help the Israelites conquer their land. The men promised Rahab that if she did not betray them, they would rescue her and her family when the Israelites conquered the town. Rahab helped the men escape from Jericho and they hid in the hills for three days. When the soldiers of Jericho stopped looking for them, they returned to Joshua.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The spies went to Jericho

The spies and Rahab

Rahab helped the spies

Paragraph 2:12–14

Rahab asked the spies to spare her and her family. The spies promised to do this if she helped them escape.

2:13a

that you will spare the lives of my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them,

that you will spare the lives: The Hebrew verb that the BSB translates as spare the lives can also be translated “let live.” Rahab asked the two Israelites to promise that no one would kill her family when the Israelites conquered Jericho.

of my father and mother, my brothers and sisters, and all who belong to them: The phrase all who belong to them indicates the families of Rahab’s brothers and sisters as well as her own immediate family.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

Let my father and mother, my brothers and sisters and all their families live

Save the lives of my whole family

2:13b

and that you will deliver us from death.”

and that you will deliver us from death: Rahab asked the Israelites not to kill her or her family. Rahab makes the same request two times, using different words, to emphasize the importance of her request.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

save us from death

do not let your people kill us

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠הִצַּלְתֶּ֥ם אֶת־נַפְשֹׁתֵ֖י⁠נוּ מִ⁠מָּֽוֶת

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you(pl)_will_let_live DOM father_of,my and=DOM mother_of,my and=DOM brothers_of,my and=DOM sisters_of,my and=DOM all/each/any/every which/who to/for=them and,you(pl)_will_deliver DOM lives_of,our from,death )

Rahab is speaking as if death itself were threatening the lives of her family so that the spies needed to deliver or rescue them from it. She is using death to represent the Israelite army, which was about to enter Canaan and kill its inhabitants. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and you will not let your fellow Israelites kill us]
