Joshua 2:17

Joshua 2 details the mission of two Israelite spies to Jericho, their encounter with Rahab, a prostitute, and her decision to hide them from the king's men. Rahab's faith in the God of Israel leads her to protect the spies, securing a promise of salvation for herself and her family when Israel conquers the city. This chapter highlights God's sovereign hand in preparing the way for Israel's victory, even through unexpected individuals, and foreshadows the inclusion of Gentiles into God's covenant people.
