1 After this, Nun's son Joshua sent two men from the Acacia groves as undercover scouts. He told them, |Go and look over the land. Pay special attention to Jericho.| So they went out, came to the house of a prostitute named Rahab, and lodged there. 2 Then the king of Jericho was told, |Look! Israeli men arrived tonight to scout out the land.| 3 So the king of Jericho sent for Rahab and ordered her, |Bring out the men who came to visit you and lodged in your house, because they've come to scout out the entire land.| 4 Now the woman had taken the two men and hid them. So she replied, |The men really did come to me, but I didn't know from where they came. 5 At dusk, when it was time to close the city gates, the men left. I don't know where the men went. Go after them quickly, and you might overtake them.| Joshua 2:1-5, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
