Rahab is a prostitute who lived in the city wall of Jericho and provided hospitality to the two men whom Joshua sent to spy upon the city as recorded in the Bible in the book of Joshua]]. She and her family alone were spared when the Hebrews took the city when the walls fell down. She is mentioned with reverence in the New Testament as well.
"But Joshua had said to the two men who had spied out the country, 'Go into the harlot's house, and from there bring out the woman and all that she has, as you swore to her'" (Joshua 6:22)
"By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace" (Hebrews 11:31).
"Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?" (James 2:25).
Rahab gave birth to Boaz. (Matthew 1:5) She is one of only 5 women mentioned in the lineage of Jesus. [1]
