For when spies were sent by Joshua, the son of\r\nNun, to Jericho, the king of the country ascertained that\r\nthey were come to spy out their land, and sent men to seize\r\nthem, in order that, when taken, they might be put to death.\r\nBut the hospitable Rahab receiving them, concealed them on\r\nthe roof of her house under some stalks of flax. And when\r\nthe men sent by the king arrived and said, “There came men\r\nunto thee who are to spy out our land; bring them forth, for\r\nso the king commands,” she answered them, “The two men\r\nwhom ye seek came unto me, but quickly departed again and\r\nare gone,” thus not discovering the spies to them. Then she\r\nsaid to the men, “I know assuredly that the Lord your God\r\nhath given you this city, for the fear and dread of you have\r\nfallen on its inhabitants. When therefore ye shall have\r\ntaken it, keep ye me and the house of my father in safety.”\r\nAnd they said to her, “It shall be as thou hast spoken to us.\r\nAs soon, therefore, as thou knowest that we are at hand,\r\nthou shalt gather all thy family under thy roof, and they\r\nshall be preserved, but all that are found outside of thy\r\ndwelling shall perish.”<a id=\"r51\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f51\"><sup>[51]</sup></a> Moreover, they gave her a sign to\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_16\">16</span>this effect, that she should hang forth from her house a\r\nscarlet thread.
