But, as this affectation might have made her suspected by the people of the city, it has seemed most reasonable to others to suppose, that Rahab did not place this token at the window till the army of Israel had approached the city.

Joshua 2:21

21 And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
