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 it the same rehab in the bible or is there more then one?
Maybe you are referring to Rahab who was a woman who lived in Jericho in the times of Joshua.
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?
What was the name of a woman that helped Joshua to escape and she and her family were saved in the Bible?
