## Joshua 2:6-9 in Context (Verses 3–12 KJV)
 
 [3 ](/kjv/joshua/2/3) And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/joshua/2/4) And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they *were:*
 
 [5 ](/kjv/joshua/2/5) And it came to pass *about the time* of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/joshua/2/6) 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 ](/kjv/joshua/2/7) And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/joshua/2/8) ¶ And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;
 
 [9 ](/kjv/joshua/2/9) And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/joshua/2/10) For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that *were* on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/joshua/2/11) And as soon as we had heard *these things*, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he *is* God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.*
 
 [12 ](/kjv/joshua/2/12) Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father’s house, and give me a true token:
