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 "Let it be as you say," she replied, and she sent them away. After they had gone, she tied the scarlet cord to the window.

22 So the two men went into the hill country and stayed there three days until the pursuers had returned. They searched all along the way, but did not find them.

23 Then the men returned, came down from the hill country, and crossed [the Jordan]. They went to Joshua son of Nun and reported everything that had happened to them.

24 They told Joshua, "The Lord has handed over the entire land to us. Everyone who lives in the land is also panicking because of us."
