Joshua 2:6 in Context — Joshua 2

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.

6 Elle les avait fait monter sur le toit, et les avait cachés sous des tiges de lin, qu’elle avait arrangées sur le toit.

7 Ces gens les poursuivirent par le chemin qui mène au gué du Jourdain, et l’on ferma la porte après qu’ils furent sortis.

8 Avant que les espions se couchassent, Rahab monta vers eux sur le toit
