⁵ When it was time to close the gates at dusk, they left. I do not know where they went. Chase after the men quickly, you may catch up with them.” ⁶ She had really taken them up on the roof and hidden them under stalks of flax^[a] that she had laid out on the roof. ⁷ The men set out after them on the road that leads to the fords of the Jordan. The gate was shut as soon as the pursuers had gone out after them.
