And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.

Verse 16 is found in chapter 2 of Joshua. The agreement between Rahab and the spies establishes the conditions for her protection and connects directly with the later fall of Jericho. The scarlet cord serves as an identifying sign for the house that must be preserved. The spies return reporting that the inhabitants of the land have lost heart. The narrative thus creates a contrast between human perceptions of Canaan’s power and Israel’s confidence based on the divine promise.

Und sie sprach zu ihnen: Geht auf das Gebirge, daß euch nicht begegnen, die euch nachjagen, und verbergt euch daselbst drei Tage, bis daß sie wiederkommen, die euch nachjagen; darnach geht eure Straße.
Y díjoles: Marchaos al monte, porque los que fueron tras vosotros no os encuentren; y estad escondidos allí tres días, hasta que los que os siguen hayan vuelto; y después os iréis vuestro camino.
Elle leur dit: Allez du côté de la montagne, de peur que ceux qui vous poursuivent ne vous rencontrent; cachez-vous là pendant trois jours, jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient de retour; après cela, vous suivrez votre chemin.
e disse loro: Andate verso il monte, che talora quelli che vi perseguono non vi scontrino; e quivi state nascosti tre giorni, finchè sieno ritornati quelli che vi perseguono; e poi andrete a vostro cammino.
E disse-lhes: Ide-vos ao monte, para que, porventura, não vos encontrem os perseguidores, e escondei-vos lá três dias, até que voltem os perseguidores, e depois ide pelo vosso caminho.
她對他們說:「你們暫且往山上去,免得追趕的人遇見你們。要在那裏躲藏三天,等追趕的人回來,你們才可以走自己的路。」
