Spies Sent to Jericho

2 Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two men as spies^(A) from the Acacia Grove,^[a] saying, “Go and scout the land, especially Jericho.” So they left, and they came to the house of a woman, a prostitute named Rahab,^(B) and stayed there.

²³ So the young men who had scouted went in and brought out Rahab and her father, mother, brothers, and all who belonged to her. They brought out her whole family and settled them outside the camp of Israel.
