Joshua 2:1-7

[1] And Joshua  the son  of Nun  sent  out of Shittim  two  to spy  secretly,  saying,  view  the land,  even Jericho.  and came  into an harlot's  house,  named  Rahab,  and lodged  [2] 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.  [3] And the king  of Jericho  sent  unto Rahab,  saying,  Bring forth  that are come  into thine house:  for they be come  to search out  all the country.  [4] And the woman  took  the two  and hid  them, and said  thus, There came  unto me, but I wist  not whence  [5] And it came to pass about the time of shutting  of the gate,  when it was dark,  went out:  went  I wot  not: pursue  after  them quickly;  for ye shall overtake  [6] 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.  [7] 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.
