Joshua 2:15
“Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.” She. She was a harlot in Jericho. Joshua 2:1 “And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.” She lied for the purpose of protecting the men she hid. Joshua 2:4-5 “And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were: And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.” She had heard of what the Lord did at the Red Sea for them. Joshua 2:10-11 “For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed. And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.” She had faith that if she protected the men of the Lord, she would also receive protection. Joshua 2:12-14 “Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token: And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death. And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.” She hid them, and then let the down safety through the window by a cord. Rahab serves as an example that when we bless the people of God, He will in turn bless us. Genesis 12:3 “And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” Bible Reading: Jeremiah 13-14 | John 13 | Psalm 25
