Joshua 2 · Grade 3
Rahab's Faith
Read the Story
Joshua secretly sent two spies to view the land, including Jericho. They came to the house of a woman named Rahab. Her house was built on the city wall.
The king of Jericho heard about the spies and sent men to Rahab. She had already hidden the spies under stalks of flax on her roof. Rahab told the spies that the people of Jericho had heard how Yahweh dried up the Red Sea. Their hearts melted. She said Yahweh your God is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.
Rahab asked the spies to save her father, mother, brothers, and sisters. The men promised. She let them down by a cord through the window. They told her to tie a line of scarlet thread in the window and keep her family inside. After three days in the mountains, the spies went back to Joshua.
