Joshua 2:2-7 ▼

2 The king of Jericho was told, “ Look, some of the Israelite men have come here tonight to investigate the land.”

3 Then the king of Jericho sent word to Rahab and said, “ Bring out the men who came to you and entered your house, for they came to investigate the entire land.”

4 But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them. So she said, “ Yes, the men did come to me, but I didn’t know where they were from.

5 At nightfall, when the gate was about to close, the men went out, and I don’t know where they were going. Chase after them quickly, and you can catch up with them! ”

6 But she had taken them up to the roof and hidden them among the stalks of flax that she had arranged on the roof.

7 The men pursued them along the road to the fords of the Jordan, and as soon as they left to pursue them, the gate was shut.
