Rahab and the Spies

Rahab and the Spies

A Canaanite woman risks everything to hide Israel's spies and ends up in the lineage of Jesus.

Conquest & JudgesOld Testament~1406 BCE

genealogy sexuality hope

Joshua sends two spies into Jericho, and Rahab — a prostitute living in the city wall — hides them from the king's men. She confesses that she believes Israel's God is the true God, and the spies promise to spare her family when the city falls. Her faith earns her a place in Israel's story and eventually in the genealogy of King David and Jesus.
