Spies that had sneaked into the land met with Rahab, a prostitute who believed in their mission. In this section we will learn of their oath to Rahab and her reward for helping them.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
How could she do this? Portions of Jericho’s wall were 12 feet thick and individual dwellings could be built into them. Rahab’s house was obviously one of these houses.
The Scripture: Joshua 2:17-20
“The men said to her, ‘This oath you made us swear will not be binding on us unless, when we enter the land, you have tied this scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you have brought your father and mother, your brothers and all your family into your house. If anyone goes outside your house into the street, his blood will be on his own head; we will not be responsible. As for anyone who is in the house with you, his blood will be on our head if a hand is laid on him. But if you tell what we are doing, we will be released from the oath you made us swear.’ ”

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Rahab believed that the Israelites would keep their promise to her – another act of faith on her part.
Rahab’s “sure sign” was the scarlet cord that she put in her window, a symbol of Christ’s redemptive work that saves us.
The Scripture: Joshua 2:23-24
“When they left, they went into the hills and stayed there three days, until the pursuers had searched all along the road and returned without finding them. Then the two men started back….They told Joshua everything that had happened to them. They said to Joshua, ‘The Lord has surely given the whole land into our hands; all the people are melting in fear because of us.”

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Confident of victory, the Israelites now crossed the Jordan River and camped on the eastern border of Jericho. In an act of incredible faith, all the men who had been born during their wanderings in the wilderness were circumcised. Being circumcised left the Israelites completely disabled in the face of their enemies. They remained there until they healed. The day after they celebrated Passover, they ate some of the produce of the land and the following day the manna stopped.
Most of us know the story of how the walls of Jericho miraculously collapsed after the Israelites silently marched around the city to the blast of their trumpets.
The Scripture: Joshua 6:17
“Joshua ordered: ‘Only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid the spies we sent.’ “
The Scripture: Joshua 6:22-23
“Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, `Go into the prostitute’s house and bring her out and all who belong to her, in accordance with your oath to her.’ So the young men went in and brought out Rahab, and all who belonged to her….and she lives here among the Israelites to this day.”
9. What were Joshua’s orders?
10. What did the two young men do?
11. What happened to Rahab?
This is the Bible’s account of Rahab, the converted prostitute, who believed in the Lord’s promises, trusting Him to deliver her. We know little of her future, only that she married an Israelite and is named in the direct lineage of King David and Jesus.
This is also the account of two miracles; the Lord’s supernaturally taking of Jericho, and His winning of a sinful woman’s heart.
Nothing is impossible with God.
