Rahab Part 2

Hebrews 11:31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.

The contract between Rahab and the spies was agreed upon as follows (continues): [2] The twofold pledge of spies: Our life for yours, if you do not reveal our business (Jos. 2:14). When God has given us the land, we will deal kindly and truly with you. [3] Carrying out the contract by Rahab: She let them down by a cord through a window to the ground (Jos. 2:15). She instructed them to escape pursuers by hiding in the mountain for three days, allowing men to return before going on the way (Jos. 2:16). [4] The fourfold pledge of the spies: We will be blameless of the oath if you do not have the scarlet cord in the window by which you let us down (Jos. 2:17-18). Be sure your father, mother, brothers, sisters, and all their households are in your house when we overthrow the city (Jos. 2:18). If one goes out of the house and is killed, we shall not be responsible, but if one who stays in is killed we shall be responsible (Jos. 2:19). If you reveal our business, then we are free from our oath to you (Jos. 2:20). [5] Rahab’s acceptance of the contract: As you have said, so be it (Jos. 2:21). She sent them away to make good their escape (Jos. 2:21-24). She bound the scarlet cord in the window (Jos. 2:21). [6] Carrying out the contract by Israel: Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father’s house, and all that she had (Jos. 6:25). She dwelled in Israel to that day, because she hid the spies (Jos. 6:25; Heb. 11:31; Jas. 2:25).
