Rahab is a woman who lived in the city wall of Jericho and provided hospitality to the two men whom Joshua sent to spy upon the city.
"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).
