Joshua 2:1-6

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 And Joshua the son of Nun sent two men secretly from Shittim as spies, saying, "Go, view the land, especially Jericho." And they went, and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lodged there.

2 And it was told the king of Jericho, "Behold, certain men of Israel have come here tonight to search out the land."

3 Then the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, "Bring forth the men that have come to you, who entered your house; for they have come to search out all the land."

4 But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them; and she said, "True, men came to me, but I did not know where they came from;

5 and when the gate was to be closed, at dark, the men went out; where the men went I do not know; pursue them quickly, for you will overtake them."

6 But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax which she had laid in order on the roof.

4 But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them. She said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they had come from.
