Josué 2:1-5

Listen to Josué 2:1-5
1 De Sitim Josué, filho de Num, enviou secretamente dois homens como espias, dizendo-lhes: Ide reconhecer a terra, particularmente a Jericó. Foram pois, e entraram na casa duma prostituta, que se chamava Raabe, e pousaram ali.
2 Então deu-se notícia ao rei de Jericó, dizendo: Eis que esta noite vieram aqui uns homens dos filhos de Israel, para espiar a terra.
3 Pelo que o rei de Jericó mandou dizer a Raabe: Faze sair os homens que vieram a ti e entraram na tua casa, porque vieram espiar toda a terra.
4 Mas aquela mulher, tomando os dois homens, os escondeu, e disse: é verdade que os homens vieram a mim, porém eu não sabia donde eram;
5 e aconteceu que, havendo-se de fechar a porta, sendo já escuro, aqueles homens saíram. Não sei para onde foram; ide após eles depressa, porque os alcançareis.

Josué 2:1-5 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOSHUA 2

This chapter gives an account of the spies sent by Joshua to Jericho, and of their entrance into the house of Rahab, who hid them from the king's messengers, Jos 2:1-7; of the relation she gave them of the fear and dread of Israel, which were fallen upon the Canaanites, Jos 2:8-11; and of the request she made to them, to save her and her father's house, when the city should be taken, and to have a sure sign of it given her, Jos 2:12,13; which the spies solemnly promised, and gave her a sign of it, with a charge not to discover the matter to any, Jos 2:14-20; and being let down by a cord through the window of her house, they made their escape to a mountain, where they lay three days, and then returned to Joshua, and made their report, Jos 2:21-24.
