Joshua 2:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 2:3

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.

5 And it happened as the gate was being shut, when it was dark, that the men went out. Where the men went I do not know; pursue them quickly, for you may overtake them.”

6 (But ^ashe had brought them up to the roof and hidden them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.)

7 Then the men pursued them by the road to the Jordan, to the fords. And as soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.
