Who Was Rahab?
In short
Rahab was a woman of Jericho who hid Israel's two spies and confessed faith in their God when her whole city stood against them.
Spared when Jericho fell, Rahab became part of the family line of King David, and of Jesus Himself. Her story is a striking picture of God's grace reaching anyone who turns to Him.
“For the Lord your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.”
Joshua 2:11 · King James Version (public domain)
