Joshua 2:4

Rahab Welcomes the Spies

3So the king of Jericho sent to Rahab and said, “Bring out the men who came to you and entered your house, for they have come to spy out the whole land.”4But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them. So she said, “Yes, the men did come to me, but I did not know where they had come from.5At dusk, when the gate was about to close, the men went out, and I do not know which way they went. Pursue them quickly, and you may catch them!”
