1 And so Joshua, the son of Nun, sent two men from Shittim to explore in secret. And he said to them, 'Go and consider the land and the city of Jericho.' And while traveling, they entered into the house of a harlot woman named Rahab, and they rested with her.
2 And it was reported to the king of Jericho, and it was said: 'Behold, men have entered to this place in the night, from the sons of Israel, so that they might explore the land.'
3 And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying: 'Bring out the men who came to you, and who entered into your house. For certainly they are spies, and they have arrived to consider the entire land.'
4 And the woman, taking the men, hid them. And she said: 'I admit that they came to me, but I did not know where they were from.
5 And when the gate was closed, they went out together in the darkness. I do not know where they have gone. Pursue them quickly, and you will overtake them.'
