SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:1–24 Joshua sent men to explore Jericho secretly

Joshua sent two men to look at Jericho, a town in the land of Canaan. A woman of Jericho called Rahab hid the two men so that the king’s soldiers could not find them. She did this because she believed that Yahweh would help the Israelites conquer their land. The men promised Rahab that if she did not betray them, they would rescue her and her family when the Israelites conquered the town. Rahab helped the men escape from Jericho and they hid in the hills for three days. When the soldiers of Jericho stopped looking for them, they returned to Joshua.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The spies went to Jericho

The spies and Rahab

Rahab helped the spies

Paragraph 2:22–24

The spies stayed in the hills for three days and then they returned to Joshua.

2:22a

So the spies went out into the hill country

So the spies went out: The clause the spies went out repeats information from verse 21c. It refers to the same event.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

When the two Israelites departed

After they left

into the hill country: The Israelite men followed the advice that Rahab gave them. They went to the hills that were west of the town of Jericho.

the hill country: See note on “hill country” at verse 2:16a.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

When they left, they went up into the hills

After they left the town they went up into the hills

2:22b

and stayed there three days,

and stayed there three days: Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

They stayed there in the hilly country for three days.

They hid in the hills for three days.

2:22c

until their pursuers had returned without finding them,

until their pursuers had returned: See the note on “set out in pursuit” in 2:7a. In some languages it is awkward to use a long phrase like “the men who were looking for them.” If this is the case in your language you can use some other phrase such as “the soldiers.” Be sure that your readers know that these are the people referred to in verse 16c.

had returned: The verb returned indicates that the pursuers went back to Jericho. In some languages it will be necessary to make that explicit.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

until the people who were looking for them had returned to Jericho

They waited until the soldiers had gone back to Jericho

without finding them: The Hebrew clause that the BSB translates as without finding them is more literally “but not they found.” It means that the king’s soldiers did not find them.

2:22d

having searched all along the road.

having searched all along the road: The phrase searched all along the road means they searched for the two spies all along the roads that led back to the Jordan River.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

Those people searched for them all along the road but did not find them

The king’s men looked for them on every road but did not find them

General Comment on 2:22b-d

The events in verse 22b-d are not told in the order that they occurred. In some languages it may be clearer to reorder these events.

Here is a way to reorder the events of this verse:

22bThe two Israelites stayed there three days. 22dMeanwhile the men who were looking for them searched all along the road, but they did not find them. 22cSo they returned to Jericho.”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:1-24 Like any good military commander, Joshua sent out spies or scouts to get information about his objective.
• Because Israel planned to approach Canaan from the east, they could not bypass Jericho.
