Joshua 2:22 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 2:22

And they went, and came unto the mountain
Rahab had directed them to, the mountain Quarantania, (See Gill on Joshua 2:16);

and abode there three days;
being, no doubt, supplied with food by Rahab; and it might not be three wholly, but one whole day and part of the other two:

until the pursuers were returned;
to the city of Jericho, as might reasonably be supposed:

and the pursuers sought [them] throughout all the way;
from Jericho to the fords of Jordan, searching every hedge, field, and village as they went and returned:

but found [them] not;
Rahab having hid them in her house, and then sent them to the mountain, there to remain till the return of the pursuers.

21 She said, According to your words, so be it. She sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.

22 They went, and came to the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but didn't find them.

23 Then the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Yehoshua the son of Nun; and they told him all that had befallen them.

24 They said to Yehoshua, Truly the LORD has delivered into our hands all the land; and moreover all the inhabitants of the land do melt away before us.
