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.| 6 But she had taken them up to the roof and had hidden them among stalks of flax that she had laid out in order on the roof. 7 So the men pursued them along the road that leads to the fords of the Jordan River. As soon as the search party had left, they shut the city gate after them. Joshua 2:2-7, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
