Usage: The name Rahab is used in the New Testament to refer to the Canaanite woman who lived in Jericho and is noted for her role in assisting the Israelite spies. She is mentioned in the genealogies of Jesus Christ and is recognized for her faith. Context: Rahab is a significant figure in both the Old and New Testaments. In the Old Testament, she is introduced in the Book of Joshua as a harlot living in the city of Jericho. When Joshua sent two spies to scout the city, Rahab provided them shelter and protection from the king's men. In return for her kindness and faith, the spies promised her safety when the Israelites would conquer Jericho. Rahab's house was marked with a scarlet cord, and she and her family were spared during the city's destruction (Joshua 2:1-21; 6:17, 23, 25).
