Matthew Poole and continuators on Joshua 2:12

12 Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD , since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my fathers house ; and give me a true token :

By your God who is the only true God; so she shews her Conversion to God, and owns his Worship, one eminent Act whereof is swearing by his Name.

My near Kindred, which she particularly names, v. 13. Husband and Children it seems she had none. And for her self, it was needless to speak, it being a plain and undeniable Duty to save their Preserver.

Either an assurance that you will preserve me and mine from the common Ruine: or a Token which I may produce as a Witness of this agreement, and a mean of my security.
