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 2:15–21

Rahab helped the spies escape. Before they left, they explained what she must do so that they can save her and her family.

2:20a

And if you report our mission,

And: The Hebrew conjunction that the BSB translates as And introduces a contrast, so many English version translate it as “But.” In verse 14c the Israelite spies gave the condition on which they will save the lives of Rahab and her family. In this verse they give the condition on which they will not save them. Use a word or a grammar marker which expresses this contrast in your language.

if you report our mission: The phrase if you report our mission uses the same Hebrew words that occurred in 2:14c except that the word “not” is not included. Translate this positive phrase the same way as you did in that verse, without using the negative.

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

However, if you tell anyone what we have been doing (GNT)

but if you tell anyone about this matter of ours

2:20b

we will be released from the oath you made us swear.”

The Hebrew conjunction that the BSB leaves untranslated introduces what will happen if Rahab tells people about them. In some languages it may be more natural to keep this word explicit by using a word like “then.”

we will be released from the oath you made us swear: This Hebrew phrase is the same as the phrase in verse 17b, except for one word. In verse 17b there is the emphatic pronoun “we.” In this verse the verb “we will be” occurs instead. The meaning is the same.

In both these verses the men give conditions on which they will not keep their promise. In the previous verse, they will not keep their promise if Rahab does not tie the red rope in the window. In this verse they will not keep their promise if Rahab tells anyone about what they were doing.

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

we(dual)(excl) will be free from keeping the promise that you(sing) asked us to give

we will be released from the oath you made us take
