RAHAB
After
the
death
of
Moses,
Joshua
was
instructed
by
God
to
take
the
Israelites
and
cross
the
Jordan
River.
In
their
path
was
the
fortified
city
of
Jericho.
Jericho
lied
in
the
Jordan
Valley
and
was
inhabited
by
the
Canaanites.
Joshua
decided
to
send
two
spies
to
Jericho
before
they proceed their journey. It is in this city of Jericho where we meet Rahab.
Rahab
was
a
prostitute
who
lived
in
a
house
in
Jericho
with
her
parents,
brothers
and
sisters.
Their
house
was
situated
on
the
wall
of
the
city.
The
two
spies
came
to
Rahab’s
house
and
decided
to
stay
there,
(Joshua
2).
The
King
of
Jericho
got
news
about
the
spies
in
his
city,
and
he
sent
men
to
Rahab’s
house
to
find
them.
Rahab
decided
to
hide
the
spies
on
top
of
the
roof
of
her
house
and
she
told
the
men
pursuing
them
that
they
had
already
left
and
if
they
hurried,
they
could
still
catch
up
with
them.
The
men
did
not
search
her
house
but
rather
immediately
left
to
look
for
the
spies.
Once
they
were
on
the
road
to
Jordan
and
out
of
the
city,
the
gates
to
the
city
were
shut.
Rahab
had
heard
the
stories
of
the
Israelites
and
their
Lord
and
went
to
the
spies
and
said:
“
I
know
that
the
Lord
has
given
you
the
land,
that
the
terror
of
you
has
fallen
on
us,
and
that
all
the
inhabitants
of
the
land
are
fainthearted
because
of
you
.
For
we
have
heard
how
the
Lord
dried
up
the
water
of
the
Red
Sea
for
you
when
you
came
out
of
Egypt,
and
what
you
did
to
the
two
kings
of
the
Amorites
who
were
on
the
other
side
of
the
Jordan,
Sihon
and
Og,
whom
you
utterly
destroyed.
And
as
soon
as
we
heard
these
things,
our
hearts
melted;
neither
did
there
remain
any
more
courage
in
anyone
because
of
you,
for
the
Lord
your
God,
He
is
God
in heaven above and on earth beneath
”, (Joshua 2:9-11).
She
then
asked
the
spies
to
show
kindness
to
her
and
her
family
as
she
kept
them
safe
and
away
from
the
King’s
men.
The
two
spies
swore
an
oath
to
her
that
if
she
met
the
three
conditions,
she
and
her
family
would
be
spared
at
the
coming
invasion:
Firstly,
Rahab
had
to
hang
a
scarlet-colored
cord
outside
her
window.
Secondly,
her
family
must
be
inside
her
house
and
not
leave
the
house.
Lastly,
she
was
not
allowed
to
tell
anybody
about
the
spies
or
the
plans
that
they
had.
Rahab
agreed
these
conditions.
She
sent
the
spies
away
and
told
them
to
go
and
hide
in
the
mountain
for
three
days.
By
then
their
pursuers
would
be
back
in
the city and they could then go and join the Israelites.
Once
the
spies
returned
to
Joshua
and
told
them
all
that
they
have
seen,
they
crossed
the
Jordan
and
got
themselves
ready
for
the
invasion.
At
that
stage
the
city
of
Jericho
was
closed
down
and
nobody
could
enter
or
exit
the
city.
Rahab
followed
the
instructions
the
spies
gave
her,
and
when
the
city
fell,
she
and
her
family
were
not
harmed.
Joshua
sent
in
the
spies
to
collect
her
and
her
family
before
they
burnt
the
city
to
the
ground.
From
that
day
forward
Rahab
travelled
and
stayed
with
the
Israelites.
She
later
married
Salmon,
an
Israelite
from
the
tribe
of
Judah.
Out
of
her
linage
Joseph,
the
husband
of
Mary
who
was
the
mother
of
Jesus, was born.
Rahab
was
an
unclean
prostitute
who
lived
in
a
city
filled
with
pagan
culture.
Once
she
heard
the
story
of
the
Israelites
and
what
their
Lord
did
for
them,
she
understood
and
believed
in
the
power
of
God.
She
followed
the
directions
given
to
her.
Rahab
was
the
first
recorded
Gentile
who
believed
in
the
Lord.
She
can
almost
be
seen
as
a
foreshadow
of
the
Church
to
come.
Her
life
was
spared
because
of
her
faith:
“By
faith
the
harlot
Rahab
did
not
perish
with
those
who
did
not
believe,
when
she
had
received
the
spies
with
peace”,
(Hebrews
11:31).
Rahab
was
saved
as
she
believed
that
“the
Lord
your
God,
He
is
God
in
heaven
above
and
on
earth beneath”, (Joshua 2:11).
It
does
not
matter
what
your
background,
past
or
culture
is,
God
is
forgiving
and
impartial
to
all
who
accept
and
believe
in
Him
.
Although
Rahab
had
a
terrible
past,
she
was
fully
accepted
by
the
Israelites
with
no
judgement
or
condemnation.
Due
to
her
belief,
her
slate
was
wiped
clean.
We
can
also
see
that
when
we
accept
Jesus
in
our
lives,
this
might
mean
that
we
have
to
turn
away
from
what
we
are
comfortable
and
used
to.
She
had
to
leave
the
city
and
the
home
she
knew
and
start
over
fresh.
Always
remember
the
words
of
Paul:
“T
herefore,
I
urge
you,
brothers
and
sisters,
in
view
of
God’s
mercy,
to
offer
your
bodies
as
a
living
sacrifice,
holy
and
pleasing
to
God
—this
is
your
true
and
proper
worship.
Do
not
conform
to
the
pattern
of
this
world
but
be
transformed
by
the
renewing
of
your
mind
.
Then
you
will
be
able
to
test
and
approve
what
God’s
will
is—his
good, pleasing and perfect will”, (Romans 12:2).
