Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Joshua 2:16-21

_ _ she said — rather “she had said,” for what follows must have been part of the previous conversation.

_ _ Get you to the mountain — A range of white limestone hills extends on the north, called Quarantania (now Jebel Karantu), rising to a height of from twelve hundred to fifteen hundred feet, and the sides of which are perforated with caves. Some one peak adjoining was familiarly known to the inhabitants as “the mountain.” The prudence and propriety of the advice to flee in that direction rather than to the ford, were made apparent by the sequel.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Joshua 2:8-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Joshua 2:16

The mountain — That is, to some of the mountains wherewith Jericho was encompassed, in which also there were many caves where they might lurk. Three days — Not three whole days, but one whole day, and part of two days.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

And she said unto them, Get you to the (g) mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.

(g) which was near to the city.
