Joshua 2:1-2

Contemporary English Version

Rahab Helps the Israelite Spies

2 ^(A) Joshua chose two men as spies and sent them from their camp at Acacia with these instructions: “Go across the river and find out as much as you can about the whole region, especially about the town of Jericho.”

The two spies left the Israelite camp at Acacia and went to Jericho, where they decided to spend the night at the house of a prostitute^[a] named Rahab.

² But someone found out about them and told the king of Jericho, “Some Israelite men came here tonight, and they are spies.”
