And the sons of Israel will remove and will come to their cities in the third day. And their cities, Gibe-on and Chephirah and Barith, and Kirjath-Jearim. And the sons of Israel smote them not, for the chiefs of the assembly sware to them by Jehovah the God of Israel. And all the assembly will murmur against the chiefs. read more.
And all the chiefs will say to all the assembly, We sware to them by Jehovah the God of Israel: and now we shall not be able to touch upon them. This we will do to them, and preserve them alive; and anger shall not be upon us for the oath that we sware to them.

And she will send them away and they will go: and she will bind the scarlet cord in the window.
