And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.

Verse 20 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 so du etwas von diesem unserm Geschäft wirst aussagen, so wollen wir des Eides los sein, den du von uns genommen hast.
Y si tú denunciares este nuestro negocio, nosotros seremos desobligados de este tu juramento con que nos has juramentado.
Si revelas este asunto nuestro, quedaremos libres del juramento que nos has hecho jurar».
Et si tu divulgues ce qui nous concerne, nous serons quittes du serment que tu nous as fait faire.
Se altresì tu palesi questo nostro affare, noi saremo sciolti dal tuo giuramento che tu ci hai fatto fare.
Porém, se tu denunciares este nosso negócio, seremos desobrigados do juramento que nos fizeste jurar.
你若洩漏我們這件事,你叫我們所起的誓 就與我們無關了。」
