Then Joshua son of Nun secretly sent two spies from Shittim.“ Go, look over the land,” he said,“ especially Jericho.” So they went and entered the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there.

Joshua, the son of Nun, sent two spies from Shittim. He sent them in secret. He said to them,“ Go and look over the land. Most of all, check out Jericho.” So they went to Jericho. They stayed at the house of a prostitute. Her name was Rahab.

And Joshua the son of Nun sent two men secretly from Shittim as spies, saying,“ Go, view the land, especially Jericho.” And they went and came into the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab and lodged there.

Then Joshua secretly sent out two spies from the Israelite camp at Acacia Grove. He instructed them,“ Scout out the land on the other side of the Jordan River, especially around Jericho.” So the two men set out and came to the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there that night.

Then Joshua the son of Nun sent two men as spies secretly from Shittim, saying,“ Go, view the land, especially Jericho.” So they went and entered the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and rested there.

Now Joshua the son of Nun sent out two men from Acacia Grove to spy secretly, saying,“ Go, view the land, especially Jericho.” So they went, and came to the house of a harlot named Rahab, and lodged there.

Joshua the son of Nun secretly sent two men out of Shittim as spies, saying,“ Go, view the land, including Jericho.” They went and came into the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and slept there.

By faith Rahab the prostitute welcomed the spies in peace and didn’t perish with those who disobeyed.

In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute also justified by works in receiving the messengers and sending them out by a different route?

While Israel was staying in the Acacia Grove, the people began to prostitute themselves with the women of Moab.

Salmon fathered Boaz by Rahab, Boaz fathered Obed by Ruth, Obed fathered Jesse,

When Moses sent them to scout out the land of Canaan, he told them,“ Go up this way to the Negev, then go up into the hill country.See what the land is like, and whether the people who live there are strong or weak, few or many.Is the land they live in good or bad? Are the cities they live in encampments or fortifications?Is the land fertile or unproductive? Are there trees in it or not? Be courageous. Bring back some fruit from the land.” It was the season for the first ripe grapes.So they went up and scouted out the land from the Wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob near the entrance to Hamath.

So the Danites sent out five brave men from all their clans, from Zorah and Eshtaol, to scout out the land and explore it. They told them,“ Go and explore the land.” They came to the hill country of Ephraim as far as the home of Micah and spent the night there.

While the Israelites camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, they observed the Passover on the evening of the fourteenth day of the month.

The five men who had gone to scout out the land of Laish told their brothers,“ Did you know that there are an ephod, household gods, and a carved image and a silver idol in these houses? Now think about what you should do.”

They camped by the Jordan from Beth-jeshimoth to the Acacia Meadow on the plains of Moab.

Then the five men who had gone to scout out the land went in and took the carved image, the ephod, the household idols, and the silver idol, while the priest was standing by the entrance of the city gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war.

“ Look, I’m sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as serpents and as innocent as doves.

“ Send men to scout out the land of Canaan I am giving to the Israelites. Send one man who is a leader among them from each of their ancestral tribes.”

Now Jericho was strongly fortified because of the Israelites— no one leaving or entering.The LORD said to Joshua,“ Look, I have handed Jericho, its king, and its best soldiers over to you.March around the city with all the men of war, circling the city one time. Do this for six days.Have seven priests carry seven ram’s-horn trumpets in front of the ark. But on the seventh day, march around the city seven times, while the priests blow the ram’s horns.When there is a prolonged blast of the horn and you hear its sound, have all the troops give a mighty shout. Then the city wall will collapse, and the troops will advance, each man straight ahead.”So Joshua son of Nun summoned the priests and said to them,“ Take up the ark of the covenant and have seven priests carry seven ram’s horns in front of the ark of the LORD.”He said to the troops,“ Move forward, march around the city, and have the armed men go ahead of the ark of the LORD.”After Joshua had spoken to the troops, seven priests carrying seven ram’s horns before the LORD moved forward and blew the ram’s horns; the ark of the LORD’s covenant followed them.While the ram’s horns were blowing, the armed men went in front of the priests who blew the ram’s horns, and the rear guard went behind the ark.But Joshua had commanded the troops,“ Do not shout or let your voice be heard. Don’t let one word come out of your mouth until the time I say,‘ Shout!’ Then you are to shout.”So the ark of the LORD was carried around the city, circling it once. They returned to the camp and spent the night there.Joshua got up early the next morning. The priests took the ark of the LORD,and the seven priests carrying seven ram’s horns marched in front of the ark of the LORD. While the ram’s horns were blowing, the armed men went in front of them, and the rear guard went behind the ark of the LORD.On the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.Early on the seventh day, they started at dawn and marched around the city seven times in the same way. That was the only day they marched around the city seven times.After the seventh time, the priests blew the ram’s horns, and Joshua said to the troops,“ Shout! For the LORD has given you the city.But the city and everything in it are set apart to the LORD for destruction. Only Rahab the prostitute and everyone with her in the house will live, because she hid the messengers we sent.But keep yourselves from the things set apart, or you will be set apart for destruction. If you take any of those things, you will set apart the camp of Israel for destruction and make trouble for it.For all the silver and gold, and the articles of bronze and iron, are dedicated to the LORD and must go into the LORD’s treasury.”So the troops shouted, and the ram’s horns sounded. When they heard the blast of the ram’s horn, the troops gave a great shout, and the wall collapsed. The troops advanced into the city, each man straight ahead, and they captured the city.They completely destroyed everything in the city with the sword— every man and woman, both young and old, and every ox, sheep, and donkey.Joshua said to the two men who had scouted the land,“ Go to the prostitute’s house and bring the woman out of there, and all who are with her, just as you swore to her.”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.They burned the city and everything in it, but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron into the treasury of the LORD’s house.However, Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, her father’s family, and all who belonged to her, because she hid the messengers Joshua had sent to spy on Jericho, and she still lives in Israel today.

Helkath with its pasturelands, and Rehob with its pasturelands— four cities.

Joshua started early the next morning and left the Acacia Grove with all the Israelites. They went as far as the Jordan and stayed there before crossing.
