Rahab, a prostitute in Jericho, helped Israelite spies and expressed her faith in God, leading to her and her family’s salvation during Jericho’s conquest; she later became an ancestor of Jesus, illustrating the power of redemption and God’s inclusive grace.
The Fall of Jericho, as detailed in Joshua 6:1-27, describes how the Israelites, led by Joshua and following divine instructions, conquered the fortified city of Jericho by marching around its walls for seven days, resulting in their miraculous collapse on the seventh day, thus marking a significant and symbolic victory in the Israelites’ conquest of the Promised Land. This event highlights themes of faith, obedience to God’s commands, and the power of divine intervention, while also preserving the narrative of Rahab, who was spared for her faithfulness and assistance to the Israelites.
