“And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.”
And she said to them, 'Go toward the hill country, so that the pursuers will not come upon you; hide there three days, until the pursuers have returned; then you may go on your way' — Rahab's final act of help is to direct the spies toward the hill country and instruct them to hide for three days until the pursuit has ended. The three-day delay creates a significant time marker: the spies will return to Joshua, and then Israel will rest for three days before crossing the Jordan.
