Look more carefully at her words. It could be read that way, but it also could be read in a way that she was referring to the spies’ final end destination. For if you took her words and placed it into the context of that kind of saying… and it fits… then viola…. I am right. Her words appear to fit as being spoken in a way that is clever word play, just like Jesus did many times saying things like… destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up again. The Jews misunderstood Jesus because they thought he was referring to the most obvious thing just like you are doing. The Bible is not like a newspaper or magazine. It’s spiritual and it sometimes has hidden meanings within it.
I disagree, the scriptures make it clear that she made it appear to the soldiers that she didn't know where the spies were. She said that to the soldiers while the spies were hidden on her roof. So Rahab knew exactly where the spies were when she told the soldiers she didn't no where they had gone.
