Joshua 2

Joshua sends two spies into the city of Jericho to scout the area. The spies find shelter in the house of Rahab, a prostitute who lives near the city wall. When the king of Jericho discovers the spies, Rahab hides them on her rooftop. She expresses her faith, stating that the people of Jericho are terrified because they have heard how God dried up the Red Sea. In exchange for saving their lives, Rahab asks the spies to promise protection for her family when the city falls, which they confirm with a scarlet cord tied in her window.
