In return for her assistance, she and her family were spared during the city's destruction, as detailed in the biblical book of Joshua. Rahab's faith and actions are often highlighted as a significant part of Israel's conquest of Jericho.

Who led the Israelite's into Canaan and what city did they conquer under bis leadership?
Biblical tradition says Moses led the Israelites up to the border of Canaan, but that he never entered the Promised Land, which was conquered by his successor, Joshua.Historians take a different view, saying that, on all the evidence, there was no biblical Exodus from Egypt and certainly no conquest of the Canaanites. They say that the Israelites were actually rural Canaanite people who left the region of the rich coastal cities to settle peacefully in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland.

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.
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 the Rahab that helped Joshua the same Rahab mentioned in the lineage of Christ?
In the Bible, her name was 'Rahab'. At Joshua chapters 2 through 6, Rahab was instrumental in helping the Israelites in their conquest of Jericho. She hid the two spies that Joshua had sent to spy out the land. And yes, she is the same Rahab mentioned in the lineage of Jesus Christ. Interestingly, Rahab and Bath-sheba were the not Israelite women, but they purified themselves and became Hebrew by marriage. Jesus' earthly mother Mary was the only Jewish woman mentioned in the Bible as an ancestress.
