Matthew 1:5 says that Salmon and Rachab were the parents of Booz the great-grandfather of King David, who was then, according to Matthew, the ancestor of Joseph. This genealogy echoes the much older genealogy in Ruth 4:20, with Salmon the father of Boaz, but this time no mention of Rahab.
The Rahab mentioned in Matthew is widely considered by Christians to have been the prostitute Rahab in the story of Jericho (Book of Joshua), but the Jewish Talmud says she married Joshua, which if true would mean that Matthew's Rachab was a different person. However, it does seem that Matthew probably intended her to be the very same person as the prostitute in the Book of Joshua, although there is no Old Testament ground for this claim.
An even more serious problem for Matthew's placing of Rahab in the lineage of Jesus is that New Testament scholars say it could not be a true genealogy of either Joseph or Jesus, with Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says that there is little likelihood that it is strictly historical.
