- ⸂⸆⸃ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Εἰς τὴν ὀρεινὴν ἀπέλθετε, μὴ συναντήσωσιν ὑμῖν οἱ καταδιώκοντες, καὶ κρυβήσεσθε ἐκεῖ τρεῖς ἡμέρας ἕως ἂν ἀποστρέψωσιν οἱ καταδιώκοντες ὀπίσω ὑμῶν, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἀπελεύσεσθε εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν ὑμῶν.

Haydock's commentary
Days; the remainder of this night, and the day and night following. It is probable that they would travel only in the night time. (Calmet)
If they had gone by the high road, they might easily have been discovered by the messengers, who would be on their return. (Haydock)
But retiring to the mountains south of Jericho, till they had re-entered the city, the spies made their escape. (Calmet)
