4. And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men to me, but I knew not whence they were:
5. And it came to pass about the time of shutting the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went, I know not: pursue after them quickly; for ye will overtake them.
6. But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
7. And the men pursued them the way to Jordan to the fords: and as soon as they who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.
8. And before they had lain down, she came up to them upon the roof;
9. And she said to the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror hath fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
