When the spies returned from Jericho, they reported to Joshua that the city was terrified of the Israelites, having heard about their recent victories and the parting of the Red Sea. They specifically mentioned that the inhabitants were afraid and that the Lord had given the land into Joshua's hands. The spies also noted the faith of Rahab, who had protected them, reinforcing the belief that God was with them in their mission to conquer Jericho.

What story does 'Joshua Fit the Battle' tell?
Taken from the Bible's Book of Joshua, the Negro spiritual sings about the Battle of Jericho.
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.

However, these allusions are too dissimilar to the innkeeper/harlot of Joshua.

What are 3 dangerous things Rahab did to help the Israelite spies?
