What does Rahab the harlot have to do with the Passover?
In Joshua 2 two Israelite spies sneak into Jericho to survey it, in preparation for an Israelite attack. Rahab the harlot, who lives in Jericho, joins Israel's side and conceals the spies from King Jeri. She asks the spies to save her family and herself when the attack comes, meaning she wants to be an Israelite proselyte.
Well, the two spies swear an oath to her to do so, but itemize three stipulations which she must meet if the oath is to remain in force:
1. the cord of scarlet required to be tied to Rahab's window
2. only those inside Rahab’s house would be saved
3. the promise was for Rahab & family, no one else
There is an uncanny parallel between the spies' stipulations to Rahab and the Lord's stipulations to the Israelites for the Passover event in Egypt. Do you recognize them? Well, you need to get your own copy of Volume 6: Joshua and learn the answer!
