    1Joshua the son of Nun secretly sent two men out of Shittim as spies, saying, "Go, view the land, including Jericho." They went and came into the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and slept there.

    3The king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, "Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered into your house; for they have come to spy out all the land."

    4The woman took the two men and hid them. Then she said, "Yes, the men came to me, but I didn't know where they came from.

    5It happened about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out. Where the men went, I don't know. Pursue them quickly; for you will overtake them."

    6But 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.

    8Before they had laid down, she came up to them on the roof;

    9and she said to the men, "I know that Yahweh has given you the land, and that the fear of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt away before you.
