4 But the woman hid the two men[a] and replied, “Yes, these men were clients of mine,[b] but I didn’t know where they came from. 5 When it was time to shut the city gate for the night, the men left.[c] I don’t know where they were heading. Chase after them quickly, for you have time to catch them!” 6 (Now she had taken them up to the roof and had hidden them in the stalks of flax she had spread out[d] on the roof.)
