Joshua 2:8 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 2:8

And before they were laid down
Under the stalks of the flax; or rather, since they are said to be hid in them, before they were fallen asleep, so Kimchi and Abarbinel:

she came up unto them upon the roof;
to acquaint them how things were, and to converse with them on the following subjects.

Joshua 2:8 In-Context

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.

8 Before the spies fell asleep, Rahab went up to them on the roof.

9 She said to them, "I know the LORD will give you this land. Your presence terrifies us. All the people in this country are deathly afraid of you.

10 We've heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea in front of you when you left Egypt. We've also heard what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites, who ruled east of the Jordan River. We've heard how you destroyed them for the LORD.
