"But those who had been sent pursued after them along the way that leads to the ford of the Jordan. And as soon as they went out, the gate was closed. "
— Joshua 2:7, Catholic Public Domain Version
“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.”
“And the men pursued after them the way to the Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they that pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate. ”
“The men pursued them the way to the Jordan to the fords: and as soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate.”
“Meanwhile the king’s men tried to find them on the road to the Jordan River near the fords. The city gate was shut as soon as they set out in pursuit of them.”
“Now they that were sent, pursued after them, by the way that leadeth to the fords of the Jordan: and as soon as they were gone out, the gate was presently shut.”
“So the men went after them on the road to Jordan as far as the river-crossing: and when they had gone out after them, the door into the town was shut.”
“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.”
And the woman, taking the men, hid them. And she said: “I admit that they came to me, but I did not know where they were from.
And when the gate was closed, they went out together in the darkness. I do not know where they have gone. Pursue them quickly, and you will overtake them.”
But she caused the men to ascend to the roof of her house, and she covered them with the stalks of flax that were there.
But those who had been sent pursued after them along the way that leads to the ford of the Jordan. And as soon as they went out, the gate was closed.
Those who were hiding had not yet fallen asleep, and behold, the woman went up to them, and she said:
“I know that the Lord has given this land to you. For the terror of you has fallen upon us, and all the inhabitants of the land have languished.
We have heard that the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea upon your arrival, when you were departing from Egypt, and we heard of the things that you did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom you put to death.
