Rahab is recognized for her role in the account of the Israelite spies in Jericho. She is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, highlighting her significance in the biblical narrative as a woman of faith. Cultural and Historical Background: Rahab was a Canaanite woman living in Jericho, a city that was part of the Promised Land that the Israelites were to conquer. Despite her background as a prostitute, Rahab is celebrated for her faith and courage. She hid the Israelite spies sent by Joshua and, in return, was promised safety for herself and her family when Jericho was destroyed. Her account is a powerful testament to God's grace and the inclusion of Gentiles into the faith community.
