New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Joshua 1
¹⁷ Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you; only may the Lord your God be with you as He was with Moses.
¹⁸ Anyone who rebels against your command and does not obey your words in all that you command him, shall be put to death; only be strong and courageous."
Joshua 2
¹ Then Joshua the son of Nun sent two men as spies secretly from Shittim, saying, "Go, view the land, especially Jericho." So they went and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lodged there.
² It was told the king of Jericho, saying, "Behold, men from the sons of Israel have come here tonight to search out the land."
³ And the king of Jericho sent word to Rahab, saying, "Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered your house, for they have come to search out all the land."
⁴ But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them, and she said, "Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from.
⁵ It came about when it was time to shut the gate at dark, that the men went out; I do not know where the men went. Pursue them quickly, for you will overtake them."
⁶ But she had brought them up to the roof and hidden them in the stalks of flax which she had laid in order on the roof.
⁷ So the men pursued them on the road to the Jordan to the fords; and as soon as those who were pursuing them had gone out, they shut the gate.
⁸ Now before they lay down, she came up to them on the roof,
⁹ and said to the men, "I know that the Lord has given you the land, and that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melted away before you.
