BRAGADAYJAH 622
Rahab and the Spies.
Now Joshua sent out two spies with instructions to view the
land of Jericho and they went to a harlot’s house and lodged there. And the king
of Jericho found out that the men were of the tribe of Israel who had come to
search out the country. So accordingly,
the King of Jericho sent to Rahab and demanded that she turned over the men
that she was harboring in her house, because they were spies. But Rahab took
the two men and hid them and told the king’s messengers that the two men had
indeed entered her house, but that they had since left and she had no idea
where they went. She further explained that the men had left as soon as it was
dark at about the time when the gates were being shut; but if they were pursued
quickly they surely would be caught as they could not have gotten very far. At
that time the two spies were hidden on the roof of her house; but her
explanation satisfied the king’s men and so they left her house to pursue after
the two spies.
