Joshua 2:4-6

Context
2:4 But the woman hid the two men 1  and replied, “Yes, these men were clients of mine, 2  but I didn’t know where they came from. 2:5 When it was time to shut the city gate for the night, the men left. 3  I don’t know where they were heading. Chase after them quickly, for you have time to catch them!” 2:6 (Now she had taken them up to the roof and had hidden them in the stalks of flax she had spread out 4  on the roof.)

1 tn Heb “The woman took the two men and hid him.” The third masculine singular pronominal suffix on “hid” has to be a scribal error (see GKC §135.p).

2 tn Heb “the men came to me.” See the note on this phrase in v. 3.

3 tn Heb “And the gate was to be shut in the darkness and the men went out.”

4 tn Heb “arranged in rows by her.”
