Spies Sent to Jericho

2 Joshua son of Nun secretly sent out two spies from ·Acacia [^LShittim; ^Ca Hebrew word meaning “acacia”] and said to them, “Go and ·look at [check out] the land, particularly at the city of Jericho.”

So the men went to Jericho and ·stayed [lodged] at the house of a prostitute named Rahab.

² Someone told the king of Jericho, “[^LLook; ^TBehold] Some men from Israel have come here tonight to spy out the land.”

³ So the king of Jericho sent this message to Rahab: “Bring out the men who came to you and entered your house. They have come to spy out our whole land.”
