What Happened

Joshua sends two spies to scope out Jericho and Rahab straight up hides them from the king's men. She tells them she knows God gave Israel the land because everyone in Jericho is lowkey terrified. They promise to spare her family if she hangs a scarlet cord from her window. She ends up in Jesus's genealogy — main character energy.
