Joshua sent SPIES to Jericho

  1. SROE 
  2. Spies are defined as those who act under false pretenses in order to obtain information and communicate that information back to a hostile or potentially hostile party. Spying is not a violation of the Law of War, but agents captured are prosecutable under the laws of the nation in which they are captured. Spies are not a protected party under the Law of War.




    5. The Espionage Act of 1917 prohibited obtaining information, recording pictures, or copying descriptions of any information relating to the national defense with intent or reason to believe that the information may be used for the injury of the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation.

      Mosiah 10

      1. [7] But I had sent my spies out round about the land of Shemlon, that I might discover their preparations, that I might guard against them, that they might not come upon my people and destroy them.

      THE BOOK OF ALMA THE SON OF ALMA

        Alma 2

        1. [21] And Alma sent spies to follow the remnant of the Amlicites, that he might know of their plans and their plots, whereby he might guard himself against them, that he might preserve his people from being destroyed.

        Alma 43

        1. [23] But it came to pass, as soon as they had departed into the wilderness Moroni sent spies into the wilderness to watch their camp; and Moroni, also, knowing of the prophecies of Alma, sent certain men unto him, desiring him that he should inquire of the Lord whither the armies of the Nephites should go to defend themselves against the Lamanites.
        2. [28] And Moroni placed spies round about, that he might know when the camp of the Lamanites should come.
        3. [30] And he also knowing that it was the only desire of the Nephites to preserve their lands, and their liberty, and their church, therefore he thought it no sin that he should defend them by stratagem; therefore, he found by his spies which course the Lamanites were to take.

        Alma 56

        1. [22] And it came to pass that we kept spies out round about, to watch the movements of the Lamanites, that they might not pass us by night nor by day to make an attack upon our other cities which were on the northward.
        2. [35] And it came to pass that when they had been informed by their spies, they came forth with their army and marched against us.

        1. [30] And now, these are the words which Gid said unto me: Behold, we did start to go down to the land of Zarahemla with our prisoners. And it came to pass that we did meet the spies of our armies, who had been sent out to watch the camp of the Lamanites.

        Alma 58

        1. [14] And it came to pass that on the morrow, that when the Lamanites saw that we were in the borders by the wilderness which was near the city, that they sent out their spies round about us that they might discover the number and the strength of our army.
        2. [20] And it came to pass that when the Lamanites had passed by, or when the army had passed by, Gid and Teomner did rise up from their secret places, and did cut off the spies of the Lamanites that they should not return to the city.
