Rahab had flax on her roof as part of her occupation as a cloth merchant. Flax was used to make linen, and drying it on the roof was a common practice. This detail is significant in the biblical narrative, as it provided a means for Rahab to hide the Israelite spies sent by Joshua, allowing them to escape undetected.
Rahab submitted herself to the spies and also helped them get information. This is a show of servant-hood and that is why she was spared.

A:In the Book of Joshua, spies are sent into Jericho, where they found refuge with the harlot, Rahab. This is an improbable story as, even if there really had been an assault on Jericho, the spies risked their lives but provided no information of value and were unlikely to do so. From a historical viewpoint, we now know there was no longer a city where Jericho had once stood, so there was no harlot, Rahab, and no spies. The name Rahab is very similar to the Hebrew verb rāhab, which can mean 'to beset, storm or assault'. If in the ancient account, Joshua was about to storm or assault Jericho, this could have given rise to the fictional harlot's name.AnswerRahab (Hebrew "RAH-khav")AnswerThe name of this harlot was Rah ab.Jesus is from her line according to the bible.
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.
If you mean Rahab with a capital R for a person. Then the name means ' WIDE SPACIOUS' 'From the hewbrew Ra'chav. This Rahab was a prostitute in Jericho who hid the two Hewbrew spies. This saved the life of her and her family when Jericho was destroyed by a miracle.
