Joshua 2:1

Joshua Sends Spies into the Land

2:1 Joshua son of Nun sent two spies out from Shittim secretly and instructed them: ⁴  “Find out what you can about the land, especially Jericho.” ⁵  They stopped at the house of a prostitute named Rahab and spent the night there. ⁶ 

[2:8]  ¹ tn Heb “they.”

[2:8]  ² tn Heb “she”; the referent (Rahab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:8]  ³ tn The Hebrew text adds, “to them.” This is somewhat redundant in English and has not been translated.

[2:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “Joshua, son of Nun, sent from Shittim two men, spies, secretly, saying.”

[2:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “go, see the land, and Jericho.”

[2:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “they went and entered the house of a woman, a prostitute, and her name was Rahab, and they slept there.”
