Joshua 2
The king of Jericho sent orders to Rahab, âBring out the men who have come to you.â (v. 3 NRSV)
Rahab was a prostitute in the city of Jericho. She was used to having men visit her house. But nothing could have prepared her for the choice she faced one momentous day. Two groups of men came knocking on her door one afternoon. The first group was two Israelite young men, sent by Joshua to scout out Jericho on behalf of Godâs people. The second group was a delegation from the king of Jericho, looking for the Israelite spies.
Rahab faced a choice: to side with the Israelites and their God or to side with the Canaanites and their multitude of gods. She had heard stories about the awesome power of Israelâs God; as a result, she and her family chose him.
