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'.
