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.'
6 But she caused the men to ascend to the roof of her house, and she covered them with the stalks of flax that were there.
