Question source
Joshua
The spies told Rahab to tie a scarlet cord in the window through which she let them down Joshua 2:18. It marked the house where Rahab and her family were to gather so they would be spared when Israel took the city Joshua 2:18–21.
18Behold, when we come into the land, you shall bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which you did let us down by: and you shall gather to you into the house your father, and your mother, and your brothers, and all your father`s household.
19It shall be, that whoever shall go out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his head, and we shall be guiltless: and whoever shall be with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be on him.
20But if you utter this our business, then we shall be guiltless of your oath which you have made us to swear.
21She said, According to your words, so be it. She sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
