[4] The woman took the two men, and hid them; and she said, Yes, the men came to me, but I didn't know whence they were: [5] and it happened about the time of the shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out; where the men went I don't know: pursue after them quickly; for you will overtake them. [6] But she had brought them up to the roof, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.
