How do you spell spies?
The correct spelling is spies, just as you spelled it. The black team sent one spy, but the blue team sent 20 spies.
Who was the harlot of Jericho who hid the two spies?
One of the most famous episodes in the biblical conquest of Canaan was the assault on the city of Jericho. Joshua had the priests march around the city walls and Yahweh caused the walls to collapse, allowing the Hebrews to storm the city. However, we now know from archaeologists that there had been no city at Jericho for centuries before the arrival of the Hebrews.As a prelude to the attack on the city, Joshua sent two spies, who found refuge with the harlot, Rahab, who in turn made a covenant to be spared when the attackers slaughtered her fellow citizens (Joshua chapter 2). Now, even if there really had been an assault on Jericho, this is an improbable story, since the spies provided no information of value, and were unlikely to do so.Perhaps the simplest answer could lie in that the name Rahab (or Rachab) is very similar to the Hebrew verb rāhab, generally translated as either 'to beset, storm or assault,' or 'to be proud/arrogant'. If Joshua was about to storm or assault Jericho, would this have given rise to the fictional harlot's name, Rahab?
How long were the israelites in the wilderness before the spies were sent?
The Israelites entered the wilderness on the 16th of Nisan, 1312 BCE, the day after the Exodus. The spies (Numbers ch.13) were sent on the 29th of Sivan of the second year (Talmud, Taanit 29a). So your answer is that the spies were sent when the Israelites had been in the wilderness for one year and two-and-one-half months. See also:More about the Spies and other complaints
Who helped the spies capture Jericho?
One of the most famous episodes in the biblical conquest of Canaan was the assault on the city of Jericho. As a prelude to the attack on the city, Joshua sent two spies, who found refuge with the harlot, Rahab, who in turn made a covenant to be spared when the attackers slaughtered her fellow citizens. Now, even if there really had been an assault on Jericho, this is an improbable story, since the spies provided no information of value, and were unlikely to do so. But archaeologists tell us there was no Jericho, so there were no spies and no harlot - the spy story just did not happen and we can only surmise how it arose. The simplest answer could lie in that the name Rahab (or Rachab) is very similar to the Hebrew verb rāhab, generally translated as either 'to beset, storm or assault,' or 'to be proud/arrogant'. If Joshua was about to storm or assault Jericho, this could have given rise to the fictional harlot's name, Rahab.

How many spies did moses send to canaan?

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.
Where in the Bible can one find the story of Jericho?
The story of Jericho is found in the Bible book of Joshua chapters 2 - the account of the two spies and chapter 6 - the conquest.
Were Rahab and her family the only survivors of the destruction of Jericho?
Yes, that is what the text implies (Joshua 6:21). Rahab and her family were allowed to depart in peace, as stated explicitly, that the Israelites did "as they had sworn (6:22)," to spare her entire family (2:18).

What are 3 dangerous things Rahab did to help the Israelite spies?
Oh, dude, Rahab was a risk-taker, for sure. She hid the Israelite spies on her roof under stalks of flax, like a spy thriller in ancient times. Then she straight-up lied to the king's men, telling them the spies had already left the city. And finally, she helped the spies escape by lowering them down the city wall with a rope. Talk about a daring escape plan!
How long were the Israelites in the wilderness before the 12 spies were sent out?
The Israelites spent about one year in the wilderness before the twelve spies were sent out to scout the land of Canaan. This period included their escape from Egypt, the receiving of the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai, and preparation for entering the Promised Land. The sending of the spies occurred in the second year after their exodus, specifically in the second month of that year.
