² The king of Jericho heard that some Israelites had come that night to spy out the country, ³ so he sent word to Rahab: “The men in your house have come to spy out the whole country! Bring them out!”

^4-6 “Some men did come to my house,” she answered, “but I don't know where they were from. They left at sundown before the city gate was closed. I didn't find out where they were going, but if you start after them quickly, you can catch them.” (Now Rahab had taken the two spies up on the roof and hidden them under some stalks of flax that she had put there.)
