Joshua 2:1-6

1And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 sentH7971 out of ShittimH7851 twoH8147 menH376 as spiesH7270 secretly, sayingH559, GoH935, view the landH776, and JerichoH3405. And they wentH935 and cameH935 into the houseH1004 of a harlot whose nameH8034 was RahabH7343, and layH7901 there.

2And it was told the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405, sayingH559, Behold, there cameH935 menH376 in hither to-night of the children of IsraelH3478 to search out the landH776.

3And the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405 sentH7971 unto RahabH7343, sayingH559, BringH935 forthH3318 the menH376 that are comeH935 to thee, that are entered into thy houseH1004; for they are comeH935 to search out all the landH776.

4And the womanH802 tookH3947 the twoH8147 menH376, and hidH6845 them; and she saidH559, Yea, the menH376 cameH935 unto me, but I knewH3045 not whence they were:

5and it came to pass about the time of the shutting of the gateH8179, when it wasH1961 dark, that the menH376 wentH1980 out; whither the menH376 wentH1980 I knowH3045 not: pursueH7291 after them quicklyH4118; for ye will overtakeH5381 them.

6But she had broughtH5927 them up to the roofH1406, and hidH2934 them with the stalks of flaxH6593, which she had laid in order upon the roofH1406.
