1 And Joshua son of Nun will send out of Shittim two men spying silently, saying, Go see the land and Jericho. And they will go, and will come to the house of a woman, a harlot, and her name Rahab; and they will lie there. 2 And it will be said to the king of Jericho, Behold, men came here this night from the sons of Israel to search out the land. 3 And the king of Jericho will send to Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men having come to thee, which came to thy house: for to search out the land they came. 4 And the woman will take the two men and hide them, and will say thus, Two men came to me, and I knew not from whence they were. 5 And it will be for the shutting the gate in darkness, and the men went forth, and I knew not whither the men went; pursue quickly after them, for ye shall overtake them. 6 And she brought them up to the roof, and she will hide them in woody flax arranged by her upon the roof. 7 And the men pursued after them the way of Jordan at the passages: and they shut the gate afterwards as they pursuing after them went forth.
