Biblical tradition says Moses led the Israelites up to the border of Canaan, but that he never entered the Promised Land, which was conquered by his successor, Joshua.Historians take a different view, saying that, on all the evidence, there was no biblical Exodus from Egypt and certainly no conquest of the Canaanites. They say that the Israelites were actually rural Canaanite people who left the region of the rich coastal cities to settle peacefully in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland.

Why is Rahab in the bible so special?
Rahab was a prostitute that lived in Jericho and helped Joshua's spies to escape being found by the king of Jericho. They promised to spare her and her family's life for her help, and followed through on this promise before destroying the rest of Jericho. Rahab is especially important, however, because she is one of Jesus' ancestors.
Is the Rahab that helped Joshua the same Rahab mentioned in the lineage of Christ?
In the Bible, her name was 'Rahab'. At Joshua chapters 2 through 6, Rahab was instrumental in helping the Israelites in their conquest of Jericho. She hid the two spies that Joshua had sent to spy out the land. And yes, she is the same Rahab mentioned in the lineage of Jesus Christ. Interestingly, Rahab and Bath-sheba were the not Israelite women, but they purified themselves and became Hebrew by marriage. Jesus' earthly mother Mary was the only Jewish woman mentioned in the Bible as an ancestress.
