Joshua

Joshua 2:22–23

²²So the spies went out into the hill country and stayed there three days, until their pursuers had returned without finding them, having searched all along the road. ²³Then the two men started back, came down from the hill country, and crossed the river. So they came to Joshua son of Nun and reported all that had happened to them.
