Joshua 2:1

Joshua, the son of Nun, secretly sent two spies from Shittim [a city east of the Jordan River just north of the Dead Sea where the Israelites had been camped for a long time] and said: "Go into the land [west of the Jordan] and explore it, especially [the city] Jericho."
They set out and stopped at the house of a prostitute [built on top of the wall, probably near the gate of Jericho]. The woman's name was Rahab (Rachav), and they spent the night there.
[This was a strategically good place to hide. The larger cities of Canaan were small kingdoms, each ruled by a local king. Despite the spies' caution, the guards at the city gate must have seen them.]
