Listen to Josué 2:3
3 Entonces el rey de Jericó mandó decir a Rahab: Saca a los hombres que han venido a ti, que han entrado en tu casa, porque han venido para reconocer toda la tierra.

Josué 2:3 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 2:3

And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab
Not merely because she kept a public house, or being a prostitute had often strangers in it, and so conjectured that the men he had notice of might be there; but he sent upon certain information that they were seen to go in there, as it follows:

saying, bring forth the men that are come to thee;
not to commit lewdness with her, though this is the sense some Jewish commentators give; but this neither agrees with the character of the men Joshua had chosen for this purpose, nor answers any end of the king to suggest; nor can it be thought that Rahab would so openly and freely own this, as in ( Joshua 2:4 ) : but what is meant by the phrase is explained in the following clause,

which are entered into thine house:
in order to lodge there that night:

for they be come to search out all the country;
so it was suspected, nor was the suspicion groundless.

Josué 2:3 In-Context

1 Y Josué, hijo de Nun, envió secretamente desde Sitim a dos espías, diciendo: Id, reconoced la tierra, especialmente Jericó. Fueron, pues, y entraron en la casa de una ramera que se llamaba Rahab, y allí se hospedaron.
2 Y se le dio aviso al rey de Jericó, diciendo: He aquí, unos hombres de los hijos de Israel han venido aquí esta noche para reconocer toda la tierra.
3 Entonces el rey de Jericó mandó decir a Rahab: Saca a los hombres que han venido a ti, que han entrado en tu casa, porque han venido para reconocer toda la tierra.
4 Pero la mujer había tomado a los dos hombres y los había escondido, y dijo: Sí, los hombres vinieron a mí, pero yo no sabía de dónde eran.
5 Y sucedió que a la hora de cerrar la puerta, al oscurecer, los hombres salieron; no sé adónde fueron. Id de prisa tras ellos, que los alcanzaréis.
