A Jericho prostitute who hid the Israelite spies — and ended up in Jesus' family tree
open_in_newWhen Joshua sent spies into Jericho, Rahab hid them on her roof and lied to the king's men to protect them (Joshua 2). She declared 'the LORD your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.' In return, she and her family were spared when Jericho fell. She married into the tribe of Judah and appears in the genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 1:5). Hebrews 11 lists her as a hero of faith.
