Joshua 2:1-24
The story of Rahab and the spies in the book of Joshua is well-known among Christians. Rahab, a foreigner and prostitute, helps Israelite spies and confesses faith in the Lord, saving them. She tells them that God has given Israel the land of Canaan. Rahab's story is remarkable because she is considered an outsider and potential threat to Israelite faith. Her name appears in the New Testament, where she is listed in Jesus' genealogy, praised for her faith, and as an example of good works. Overall, Rahab's story highlights the importance of faith and good actions in the Christian community.
