- Then Joshua the son of Nun sent two men as spies secretly from Shittim, saying, "Go, view the land, especially Jericho " So they went and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lodged there.
- It was told the king of Jericho, saying, "Behold, men from the sons of Israel have come here tonight to search out the land."
- And the king of Jericho sent word to Rahab, saying, "Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered your house, for they have come to search out all the land."
- But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them, and she said, "Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from.
- "It came about when it was time to shut the gate at dark, that the men went out; I do not know where the men went. Pursue them quickly, for you will overtake them."
