Joshua 2:4
Douay-Rheims
And the woman taking the men, hid them, and said: I confess they came to me, but I knew not whence they were:
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
the woman took the two men, and hid them--literally, "him," that is, each of them in separate places, of course previous to the appearance of the royal messengers and in anticipation of a speedy search after her guests. According to Eastern manners, which pay an almost superstitious respect to a woman's apartment, the royal messengers did not demand admittance to search but asked her to bring the foreigners out.
