And if thou: Proverbs 11:13

we will be quit: Joshua 2:17

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And if thou utter this our business,.... So that others would either hang out scarlet threads or get into her house for shelter,

then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear; be under no obligation to make it good, by saving her and her father's house.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Joshua 2:20. If thou utter this our business — It was prudent to make her life depend on her secresy; had it been otherwise she might have been tempted to give information, not only concerning the spies, but concerning the designs of the Israelites. But her life being at stake, added to every other motive, she kept the secret for the sake of her own personal safety and that of all her relatives.
