Joshua 2:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 2:1

Rahab Hides the Spies

1 Now Joshua the son of Nun sent out two men ^afrom Acacia Grove to spy secretly, saying, “Go, view the land, especially Jericho.” So they went, and ^bcame to the house of a harlot named ^cRahab, and lodged there.

2 And ^ait was told the king of Jericho, saying, “Behold, men have come here tonight from the children of Israel to search out the country.”

3 So the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, “Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered your house, for they have come to search out all the country.”

4 ^aThen the woman took the two men and hid them. So she said, “Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from.
