Joshua:2:1-7
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly ,
saying ,
Go view the land ,
even Jericho .
And they went ,
and came into an harlot '
s house ,
named Rahab ,
and lodged there .
*
And it was told the king of Jericho ,
saying ,
Behold ,
there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country .
*
And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab ,
saying ,
Bring forth the men that are come to thee ,
which are entered into thine house :
for they be come to search out all the country .
*
And the woman took the two men ,
and hid them ,
and said thus ,
There came men unto me ,
but I wist not whence they were :
*
And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate ,
when it was dark ,
that the men went out :
whither the men went I wot not :
pursue after them quickly ;
for ye shall overtake them .
*
But she had brought them up to the roof of the house ,
and hid them with the stalks of flax ,
which she had laid in order upon the roof .
*
And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords :
and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out ,
they shut the gate .
