Joshua 2:3 in Context — Joshua 2

1 Josué, fils de Nun, fit partir secrètement de Sittim deux espions, en leur disant: Allez, examinez le pays, et en particulier Jéricho. Ils partirent, et ils arrivèrent dans la maison d’une prostituée, qui se nommait Rahab, et ils y couchèrent.

2 On dit au roi de Jéricho: Voici, des hommes d’entre les enfants d’Israël sont arrivés ici, cette nuit, pour explorer le pays.

3 Le roi de Jéricho envoya dire à Rahab: Fais sortir les hommes qui sont venus chez toi, qui sont entrés dans ta maison; car c’est pour explorer tout le pays qu’ils sont venus.

4 La femme prit les deux hommes, et les cacha; et elle dit: Il est vrai que ces hommes sont arrivés chez moi, mais je ne savais pas d’où ils étaient;

5 et, comme la porte a dû se fermer de nuit, ces hommes sont sortis; j’ignore où ils sont allés: hâtez-vous de les poursuivre et vous les atteindrez.
