rahab

³¹By faith, Rahab, the harlot, did not perish with the unbelievers, after receiving the spies with peace.

²⁵Similarly also, Rahab, the harlot, was she not justified by works, by receiving the messengers and sending them out through another way?

¹And so Joshua, the son of Nun, sent two men from Shittim to explore in secret. And he said to them, “Go and consider the land and the city of Jericho.” And while traveling, they entered into the house of a harlot woman named Rahab, and they rested with her.

¹⁷And let this city be anathema, with all the things that are within it, before the Lord. May only Rahab the harlot live, with all who are with her in the house. For she hid the messengers whom we sent.

⁵And Salmon conceived Boaz by Rahab. And Boaz conceived Obed by Ruth. And Obed conceived Jesse.

²²But Joshua said to the two men who had been sent to explore, “Enter the house of the harlot woman, and bring her out, and all the things that are hers, just as you assured her by oath.” ²³And the youths entered, and they led out Rahab, and her parents, also her brothers, and all her goods and kindred, and they caused them to dwell outside the camp. ²⁴Then they set fire to the city and all the things that were within it, except the gold and silver, and the vessels of brass or of iron, which they consecrated into the treasury of the Lord. ²⁵Yet truly, Joshua caused Rahab the harlot, and her father’s household, and all she had, to survive.

For certainly they are spies, and they have arrived to consider the entire land.” ⁴And the woman, taking the men, hid them. And she said: “I admit that they came to me, but I did not know where they were from. ⁵And when the gate was closed, they went out together in the darkness. I do not know where they have gone. Pursue them quickly, and you will overtake them.” ⁶But she caused the men to ascend to the roof of her house, and she covered them with the stalks of flax that were there.
