Question 3 of 7
3. Question
It is possible that Rahab was not a prostitute in the usual sense of the word but rather a priestess of their religion, an honorable profession in that society. Her house was probably a public house where people came and went. You may remember that this was not the first time, the Israelites had seen Canaan. Before their 40-year sojourn in the wilderness, Moses sent spies into the land. Most of them returned with fearful reports.
The Scripture: Numbers 13: 28, 31, 33
“The people who live there are powerful and the cities are fortified and very large… We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are… We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”
6. What was the spies’ report?
7. How did they describe themselves?

Question 4 of 7
4. Question
Although the spies’ imaginations may have run wild, they were right in one respect. The Canaanites were a powerful people, brutal and depraved. Their religion included serpent worship and child sacrifice. Only Joshua and a fellow spy, Caleb, believed that the Lord would give them the land. Because the Israelites did not have faith that God would act on their behalf, they had to spend 40 years wandering in the wilderness.
The Scripture: Joshua 2:2-3
“The king of Jericho was told, ‘Look! Some of the Israelites have come here tonight to spy out the land. So the king of Jericho sent this message to Rahab. ‘Bring out the men who came to you and entered your house because they have come to spy out the whole land.”
8. What had the king of Jericho been told?

Question 6 of 7
6. Question
This required great courage on Rehab’s part. The Bible gives us no details on how she came by her faith in God, only that it was strong against seemingly impossible odds. If she were discovered helping the spies, she would have been subjected to a merciless death.
The roof tops were flat, a place for casual conversation and for sleeping during the heat of the summer months. Flax is a native plant of the area. It was used for making cloth and candlewicks. When mature, it was soaked to separate the fibers, then dried on the roof tops.
The Scripture: Joshua 2:8-10
“Before the spies lay down for the night, she (Rahab) went up on the roof and said to them, ‘I know that the Lord has given this land to you and that a great fear of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you. We have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan, whom you completely destroyed.”

Question 7 of 7
7. Question
The Scripture: Joshua 2:11
“When we heard of it, our hearts melted and everyone’s courage failed because of you, for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below.”
14. What was her statement of faith?
God had possibly chosen the one person in all of Canaan who believed in Him and was courageous enough to act on her belief.
In the next part of this study, we will learn the oath Rahab and the spies swore to each other and what happened to Rahab when the Israelites took Jericho.
