2 The king of Jericho was told, |Some Israelites have entered the city tonight. They came to gather information about our land.| 3 So the king of Jericho sent messengers to Rahab, who told her, |Bring out the men who came to your house. They came here to gather information about the entire land.| 4 But the woman had already taken the two men inside and hidden them. So she said, |Yes, the men did come here. But I didn't know where they had come from. 5 When it was dark and the gate was just about to close, they left. I don't know where they went. If you hurry, you'll catch up with them.| 6 (She had taken them up to the roof and covered them with the flax which she had laid up there.) 7 The king's men pursued them on the road leading to a shallow place to cross the Jordan River. As soon as the king's men had left, the gate was closed. Joshua 2:2-7, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
