2 Then Joshua the son of Nun secretly sent two men out from Shitʹtim+ as spies. He told them: “Go and inspect the land, especially Jerʹi·cho.” So they went and came to the house of a prostitute named Raʹhab,+ and they stayed there.

15 After that she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house was on a side of the city wall. In fact, she was dwelling on the wall.+

17 The city and everything in it is to be devoted to destruction;+ it all belongs to Jehovah. Only Raʹhab+ the prostitute may keep living, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers we sent out.+

31 By faith Raʹhab the prostitute did not perish with those who acted disobediently, because she received the spies in a peaceable way.+
