³ And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that have come to thee, who have come into thy house: for they have come to search out all the land.

⁴ And the woman had taken and concealed the two men; and she said, Yes, the men did come unto me, but I knew not whence they were;

⁵ and it came to pass when the gate had to be closed, at dark, that the men went out: I know not whither the men have gone. Pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.
