Rahab protected the spies and acknowledged the Lord as God.
A summary of the passage, not a Bible quotation.01 · In its setting
What was happening?
Joshua identifies Rahab as a prostitute in Jericho. She hid Israel’s spies, sought safety for her family, and later appears in Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus.
02 · Read carefully
What does the text show?
The text records her confession and action; it does not narrate every detail of a later life change. Her past does not remove her from the biblical story of faith and redemption.

Consider your response
Look for the faithful step possible now without making someone’s past their only name.
For prayer or conversation
Reflect together
- What did Rahab say she knew about the Lord?
- What did her protection of the spies cost her?
